Hello all, I'm new to honda civic forum and I have a problem. My 95 civic dx has been running great up until lately. Starting about a week ago or so, when I would release the clutch to gear down to accelerate or deccelerate, there is this grinding sound as it goes into the lower gear. Anyone ever run across this before? I'm not sure if its the clutch or the tranny but I replaced the clutch about two years ago and I'm a pretty easy driver so I doubt its that. And it also cuts off if I try and take off in 5th gear (a test I heard of to test the clutch). The sound is also heavily present when I am driving in first gear and slightly in second gear. So, my guess is that its the tranny but I wanted to run this by you and get your opinion from more experienced Honda peeps. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
