Possible Clutch Problem?
I have a 2004 TSX 6MT with 87,000 miles on it. At about 65,000 I had a strange creaking noise when I was feathering the clutch - mostly when on a slight hill in stop-and-go traffic. I took my car in and they thought it was the thrust bearing and replaced it (under warranty even though I was well out of the 50k warranty period). While they were in there, I also paid for a new clutch to be installed.
I noticed a vibrating noise (can't feel it though) a few weeks ago, and I figured it was a heat shield under the car coming loose. So, tonight I had it up on jackstands and had my wife rev the engine a little bit with the car in neutral (~3k where it would normally cause the noise), and I couldn't find where the noise was coming from.
Anyway... I did notice that when she gave it throttle, and got it up past 4,000 rpm or so the front wheels would start spinning a little (very slow, maybe 1RPM of wheelspin). Is this common? (She wasn't touching the clutch at all.) I wouldn't have thought that the clutch would be engaging with a little throttle - and it isn't much. Just slight concern on my part - and it wasn't much torque, I could stop it with one finger, and keep it from spinning - but the spinning alone made me a little uneasy.
Thanks for the help in advance guys! Car is 4+ years old, and still great!

Been covered in a merged thread here. Please search. Solution is new clutch set and bearing is what others have seen. Can't explain why it is still continuing. Would also advise that the service department hear it again. Oh, and I have seen the spinning thing before.
