now, exactly how long its been like this, but today I was driving with my radio off, and windows down. All of a sudden I notice the car is making a weird noise. I drive a little more, and I noticed its whenever Im in gear, moving, but not accelerating...kind of like a weird scraping noise. Also something that Ive noticed for a few days now, is (and I dont know if its normal) that when I push the clutch down and pushing the gas pedal as well, I can feel the clutch kind of rumble or shake. As far as I remember, my tsx never did that is this just because the car is getting older and a normal thing????

All I know is that I hate hearing that noise and it scares the shit outta me

 

I hear it as well.

 

That is super odd. If you find out what it is, let us know.

I guess the clutch noise might possibly be normal. I have no idea what a clutch does when you accelerate during disengagement. I always let off a bit.

 

I actually heard it on my tsx this weekend as well. Its a really weird squeaky noise almost as if I was dragging something under the car. It only happen during slow speed. It was like that for a good 30 minutes. It went away since but I am scare it might come back.

 

I hear the same thing. In fact I took it in to the dealer because one day it was very bad. It sounded like a table saw under my car. They found nothing wrong with my car. But since then I am noticing my ride is not as nice, feels like I need a rear alignment now. HUH.

 

I'm only guessing here, but the description sounds like a problem I had with a Pinto I owned in college - when it was only a couple of years old (yeah, I'm that old). I never fixed it but I'm pretty sure it waqs the throwout or release bearing that the clutch arm presses against the fingers on the clutch when you are disengaging. It should not be a common sound in a relatively new and well-made car. Do you drive it hard? If so, you might have worn the bearing unevenly. Fixing a throwout bearing usually means pulling the engine and transaxle and seperating them to get to the clutch. Not cheap. May as well replace the clutch while you're in there. Again, I'm just guessing.

 

To my knowledge, a parallel between a Pinto and a TSX would be a first! :fingerfawk:
