I bought the car used it had 35,500 on her and she made that noise a lilttle then my alt went out and destroyed my batt so i thought it was still under warranty cause back in the day it was 6 years or sixty thousand but not now anyways powertrain was still and they replaced it and then 35 thousand later same crap. So i bought a whole new clutch kit from rock auto and she is fine now but im sure it will do it again. I've heard some shit in the trans isn't aligned right but people always talk shit on the best cars in the world HONDA! thank u for all your responses i will check the free play and use different grease thanks
