So I have a really loud noise coming from the center of my car, Transmission or Drive shaft but not to sure. Just trying to find out if anyone in the area has a good floor jack and stands or knows where I can get it checked out before something goes really wrong. I just moved out here so I dont have any tools nor the space to even work on my car. Thanks.

My name is Nathan by the way. If you can help just text me, 9282305731

what part of San Diego are you at ? is the car driveable ?

97KoukiFTW · 10-22-2009, 11:45 AM

I live in PB, its driveable just doesnt sound to good. It drives fine but I can def tell by the noise that its not good.

DJDANGER24 · 10-22-2009, 11:52 AM

well i have a cousin that owns a shop in Chula Vista with a lift. if your willing to drive down there, next door to his shop is a transmission shop.

97KoukiFTW · 10-22-2009, 12:20 PM

Yeah I am thinking its the stock tranny mount. . Let me wait a few and see if anyone else is closer. If not then I will hit you up. Thanks man

97KoukiFTW · 10-22-2009, 06:10 PM

Alright so I took it to the Hobby Shop on base and put it on a lift. Didnt see anything wrong at all. (Minus my tie rods need some new boots lol) My car is making some crazy knocking noises from the central car area, transmission area. I dont know much about them, anyone might know what it is???

*GSXRJJordan* · 10-22-2009, 06:24 PM

Can you wiggle the driveshaft with your hand from underneath? Could be that the damper ate itself, and there's some play in the driveshaft mount.

97KoukiFTW · 10-22-2009, 06:30 PM

No everything underneath was good, no play in the driveshaft, tranny mount was good. .

DJDANGER24 · 10-22-2009, 06:32 PM

were the noises at idle ? or under load with the clutch engaged ?

97KoukiFTW · 10-22-2009, 06:43 PM

It is when I first start it up the car and then when I first start to take off in first sometimes second. .

heavenboundkevin · 10-22-2009, 08:28 PM

Im out the navy now, just got out about 4 months ago. I went to the hobby shop today and used the lifts so no worries with tools just dont have any idea wtf is wrong.

Ryokai Fuji · 10-23-2009, 10:13 AM

.... Could be throwout bearing

If you engage the clutch, and its a nasty grinding or a rasping noise, when you push in clutch does the noise go away?

if so, its either that or..

syncros on the tranny is going bye bye.

97KoukiFTW · 10-23-2009, 10:29 AM

I watch some videos where they push in the clutch and the noise goes away so I try it but it didnt really do anything. . A guy on here is gonna check it out for me and if all else fails im about to put in a new clutch and flywheel so maybe ill just look for another ka tranny on here.

silcoupeguy987 · 10-23-2009, 05:39 PM

i would really get some one who knows what they are doing to see whats wrong befor you just go throwing parts at it i just did the clutch in my dads s14 and he swore up and down it was the clutch that was the problem ... turns out the tranny is taking a shit the clutch made no diff i knew it was the syncros all along

no one every listens to me

but if you need the clutch installed for the best price hit me up can get it done in 1 day if you got all the parts on hand

97KoukiFTW · 10-24-2009, 01:54 PM

Yeah im takin it to a transmission shop. . And if I do replace the stuff im just gonna go on base and use the lifts at the hobby shop. .

97KoukiFTW · 10-28-2009, 01:57 PM

Alright so I took my car to a shop here in PB and they said it doesnt sound like the transmission. . Of course they didnt want to go any further into it without me paying. WHERE THE F%$# IS THIS KNOCK COMING FROM! Damn I just dont get it, the car runs completely fine, shifts fine, drives fine. . But this damn knocking noise. .

DJDANGER24 · 10-28-2009, 05:24 PM
