02 Honda Civic Shudders in 1st gear?
I have a 2002 Honda Civic Lx Coupe with a manual transmission. I have a bad CV axle and recently when I start from a start from first gear it will shudder like I'm not giving it enough gas and a really loud metal clanking, but I never have a problem at the rpm I start at and I can even rev the engine higher and it will calm down but still do it. I checked it out today and it has stopped. I looked around and have heard things from possibly a warped fly wheel, bad clutch disc, bad motor mount. The motor isn't shaking when it does it so it's not that. I also have no clutch slippage, my clutch seems to be fine. I plan to fix the CV first thing just haven't been able to yet.
What I'm asking is any ideas on what it could be? Could it be the CV axle binding and up and clanking?
No argument will do better diagnosis than a mechanic looking at the actual car. If you remove the axle and flex the CV you'll be able to tell if it's stiff or sloppy. Once the boot is off damage will show obviously. A stiff cv joint will make a racket and rattle the car when it moves.
- Can you drive around a motorcycle in 1st gear the city? I've read that some sports bikes can do like 80mph before redlining in first gear. Could i ride a sports bike around the city an never get out of 1st or 2nd gear an ride safetly? I have a automatic 79 honda motorcycle which i like no clutch an have had a hard time riding manual bikes mostly down shifting an locking the rear wheel up. I was thinking of geting a 250 ninja or cbr to learn to shift i live in a city an don't usually go past 35mph
- Is the 1985 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft compatible with the 86-2001 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft? I have a 1985 CR 500 and the water pump gear shaft broke. It has been discontinued from Honda, and no one else has it. It is a metal gear. The one's for the 1986-2001 CR 500 are plastic. If I have to use plastic, I will. However, I prefer not to. If anyone knows where I can get the OEM 1985 Honda CR 500 gear shaft, I would forever be grateful.
- What a better 1st car to buy: A Honda Civic or a VW Beetle? They both would be used with about 100K miles each. I'm paying for it so can't afford to pay much or make a lot of repairs. I have researched, but I can't pick between the tow.
- Is 10.5% interest high on a 1st time buy? I was able to get a brand new 2014 Honda civic first time buying. I have good credit around 700 but I have never own anything in my name or bought anything. Trade my old truck in and gave me 4500 for it but my payments are still 338$ for 72 months. I'm worried if I made the right decision.
