I tried to search, but am not finding anything similar to what I'm experiencing. Shifting from D5 to Reverse, I'm hearing an audible knock. It's just a singular knock that sounds almost like a pop. Everything is operating as it should. All gears work just fine. Doesn't make the noise from neutral to reverse, or park to reverse. Flat surface, brake supressed.

Could this be a tranny or engine mount possibly?

How fast are you driving when you go from D5 to reverse?


Check for low tranny fluid also. That can cause a thump.

do u feel a the thump or is it only audible?

when my car is COLD like -2 celcius and bellow it's usually a lil rough going into reverse the very first time... if i let it sit and idle tho for a lil it won't do it..

x2 minus the same problem part

almost willing to bet it's the rear mount.
My other car has a bad front mount and when going from p to r it bangs.
so going the other way with your bang ,I would check the rear.
To check have someone look under the hood for excessive motor movement while your making the noise.
It will be easy to see if it's a bad mount.

^ that's not my problem... the motor barely moves if u hit the brake and gas (torquing the motor)

Mount

Thanks for the input guys. I'm pretty sure it's a mount. Aren't the rear mounts a serious pain in the ass?

i have the same problem. i have all new motor and trans mounts.....thank u acura!!! i thought it was just something these cars do. i sounds like a coke can(full) moving in a shoe box sorta... the dealer has never said anything when i took it in 3 weeks ago so i just live with it. i also get a clicking thud when its cold too.

when i had my car checked out, they told me that it was the front and side mount.they quoted me 600

$600,that's just wrong.

so for replacement mounts, do I go OEM or are there upgraded mounts that are more cost effective and better?

if I were you i'd go oem.. I replaced 2 of the 3 with oems and just have the rear one left to do.

OEM mounts will get rid of vibrations when u mod the oem mounts (fill them with polyurethane) or but aftermarket ones.

I've heard way too many problems also with the manufacturing of the aftermarket mounts and all that just made m,e say... to hell with it and stick with oem

Im running poly-filled OEM mounts and I love them. Yes, they do increase vibrations, but they decrease wheel hop, so Im happy.

And $600 for 2 mounts is friggin insane.

crazyasiantl

iTrader: (7)

yea, the 600 was th price installed after ten percent off the mounts and ten percent off install

good thing im selling.

i dont have the balls to do a job like that

The front and side mount was the easiest for me. I think it took me about 4 hours with basic hand tools.

The side mount was laughable, it took maybe 30 minutes.

3.5 hrs for the front mount??? wowzersss

thank god i got mine done when i had the trans built... cost me 110, and then i did the side one myself for 92$

The front was a bit of a bitch. The mount bracket is hard to remove, and the bolts on the subframe were seized.

Its not nearly as bad as the rear mount though. I did the other 4 one day then went back for the rear. It took me nearly 6 hours because the damn thing wouldnt line back up.

u got a different front mount cause ur a cl6 tho right?

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Different rear mount and tranny mounts. The front and side are the same.

wtf i thought there only are 3 mounts.
side, front/trans, and rear?

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

One front, one side, one rear, two tranny.

You have to get underneath the car near the drivers side tire. You'll see them.
