Hi all,

I have a 98 honda civic ex and when I shift into third gear, I hear a grinding noise. The noise usually occurs when I shift above 2500 rpm. It initially started only when I downshifted to third...now it happens anytime I shift into the third gear. There is no grinding noise when I shift into any of the other gears. My car has 98,000 miles and I just replaced the transmission oil a month ago.

I hope my transmission is not going. Do you guys have any suggestions what could be causing this?

Thanks

 

Shop for a replacement transmission.

 

bad 3rd gear syncro

 

Double clutch and rev match when shifting into third, and as Ron said, get shopping.
