Replying to: qtchick (Oct 15, 2005 5:12 pm) You have read your owner's manual, right? Have them give you a price on only the maintenance listed in your owner's manual for the miles you have on your car. Have read your owner's manual? All dealers have their own set of recommended maintenance that is usually doing things listed in your owner's manual much sooner than needed. . Did I ask if you've read your owner's manual?
#685 of 1030 shifting gears' noise by boboandtoto Oct 16, 2005 (10:38 am)
hi all,  i was just wondering if anyone else was having this problem or if it is normal...whenever i shift gears from park to reverse, i feel something jerking in the engine...also, when i shift to drive, i feel it again, but this time its a jerking motion backwards...this only happens when i initially start the car in the mornings...also, has anyone encountered any problems when turning right extremely sharply?...whenever i do, i feel a grinding noise coming from the front tires...any help or suggestions would be welcome...thanks...

Replying to: boboandtoto (Oct 16, 2005 10:38 am) Hmm... sounds like a bad torque converter, but not sure. Better have a dealer mechanic look into it. But since you mentioned that it only happens when you initially start the car in the mornings, I'm worried that they might give you the "We can't duplicate the problem" line and it sucks when that happens.

Replying to: boboandtoto (Oct 16, 2005 10:38 am) That is probably just the transmission shifting into gear and the feeling you are getting is the torque twist on the tranny mounts. Hence, shift to drive and it jerks one way, shift into park and it shifts the other direction.

Replying to: boboandtoto (Oct 17, 2005 4:46 pm) Well, just tell them what you have been experiencing. You're not going to be penalized anyway. They should be able to come up with a better answer for your car's shifting behavior.

Replying to: boboandtoto (Oct 17, 2005 4:46 pm) If it's just a jerking when you put it in gear then it's normal. Every car does it (correction, every automatic does it)   Torque convereter grinding? Are you hearing a grinding noise?

#692 of 1030 2005 RSX - Engine noise when above 60 mph by heejoman Oct 20, 2005 (8:28 am)
I got a RSX as a loaner couple times. I like them a lot. One drove fine. However, one of them had a engine noise that bothered me.   It created a whirling noise when it reached above 60 mph.   It's hard to describe but it's like saying "woe woe woe woe . . " semi slowly at a pitch of Curlee in 3 Stooges but in monotone).   I drove above 60 mph then it got worse. Drove below 60 and it went away. Reached 60 and it did it again. I drove it for 3 days and it did the same thing everytime.   It wasn't the wind or the tire.   I was tempted to tell the dealer about it but I was afraid they would blame me or something.   No Honda/Acura cars I've driven make that sound. Any ideas?   I'm afraid if I buy an RSX and it will make that same sound. Thanks.   P.S. Didn't had a clicking sound but for those who do, I thought it's the CV joint and not the transmission problem??? Replies to this message: rsx_va (Oct 21, 2005 6:35 am)
