    Thumbs down Few problems with civic

    I have a weird whining noise coming from my 95 ex coupe
    it starts at about 2000 rpm and gets really loud at 7000
    then decelerating, it gets softer again.

    another problem I have is a rattling noise at idle
    its really loud and then when i move the stick between 5th and reverse it stops, then I let it go back to middle and it starts up again.
    pushin the clutch in stops it for a second or two then it starts back up.. again.

    Stock d16z6

    any help is appreciated

    the 2nd sound like the shifter it hitting the exaust

    the 1st one might be the tentioner for the timing belt but like stated above that a broad question.

    but then again if a bolt was loose, it would be pretty hard to shift

    i'll stick with my answer on the 1st one.

    the 2nd could be the shifter hitting the exaust "if its a short throw" if not then i would go to the trans.
