Ok.....the past couple of weeks my transmission or something in it has been acting up. When I back my car into my driveway, I hear a knocking sound coming from the clutch disc area. I was on the highway at about 70 and shifted from 5th to 3rd . After about a sec. shifted to 4th. Now while driving all I hear is a whole bunch of knocking sounds...like something being tossed around in the clutch area.
It only used to do it while backing up...now it does all the time, and sounds worse. Also, while shifting to second, it sounds like something is chafing against something else.

I think I know what happened. But I'd like a second, third, etc., opinion. I'm ready for the worst.....lay it on me!

might have busted a spring holder on the clutch... it happened to me. either that or a chunk came loose or something.

5th to 3rd? why?

the shift shouldn't kill your engine... at least on an Si 3rd tops at 74. maybe if you didn't rev match the initial shock of the drawstically higher revs could have weakened the clutch causing it to crack something?

the si tops at 74

I can get up to atleast 84, sometimes 86 when its cold

its prob the spring like they said - happened on the accord, something was just "loose" sounding and we took the tranny off, and the clutch springs were not right...

hmm,

When one of My springs broke on my clutch disc I couldnt shift at all. thus replaced

A shift from 5th to 3rd though is possibly a massive shock to all systems.
