i have a few questions about my civic. my gas pedal is kinda stiff. it is a manual so shifting isn't all that pleasant when i can't feather the gas pedal. any ideas to fix? also i hear like a whine it's prominent pulling out as such, i back up then in moving forward i put it in 1st and start to pull the clutch out and this whine comes. so i don't think it's the wheels or anything like that cause it's not there in movement more so when i engage the clutch. hope it's not a tranny problem. any help is appreciated.

Just drove my sister's Civic back from Arizona to Indiana on a 1900 plus mile trip to sell it up here. It is four door and 5 speed. I have driven her car before but not to this extent. She went from 1993 Tarcel to 2001 Civic to 2005 RX330. Fit, finish, and feel are excellent for a small car. The interior colors, fabric, and contrast in colors are tastefully done. The feel of switches are excellent. The gas mileage was as high as 43mpg. Dislikes: Road noise; nothing a good sound deadning/ rust proofing and set of new brand-name tires could not improve. Light/flimsy feel of the doors when shutting. Honda should have benchmarked 1999-2004 Jetta for door shutting feel (and VW should bench mark Civic's gear shift feel). It gives the car a very cheap feel. I know the Civic is not a cheaply-built car. I had 84 and 94 Accords, and I am familiar with Hondas. They are great cars. I regard Hondas and Toyotas top notch cars with the rest of the Japanese cars trailing behind. This may not be fair since I have not owned any other Japanese cars beside these two brands. Joe |

Throw out bearings go bad, if you ride with your foot on the clutch pedal, or the clutch isn't adjusted correctly. Normally the bearing only has to spin when you put the clutch in. If your clutch is misadjusted, then it could be too close to the pressure plate and forced to spin all the time.

Hi guys. I am getting ready to take a trip in my grandparents' Civic Sedan. It's an LX Sedan, with about 110,000 miles on it. When I drove it over the weekend, I noticed the lights dimming and then going to full brightness. The headlights and dashboard lights did it, at the same time. They dimmed to probably 80% brightness, and then would go back. It happens very quickly, and as many as 10 times in 15 seconds. I would normally chalk it up to A/C cycling on and off, but the A/C was not engaged. Any ideas what it could be? My granddad said its been doing it for awhile now, so he didn't think it was the alternator because the battery probably would've died by now. Any thoughts are welcome!

What price should we expect to pay? I'm getting quotes that seem awfully high, but I want to see what prices you think would be fair.
