I have a 2000 Honda Civic DX. The car only has 69,000 miles. In the upper rpms of first gear it makes a weird noise. Its almost like a grind/whining noise. I have read that this may be bearings problems in the transmission, however I can not justify this in a car with under 70,000 miles. I'm going to change my fluids tonight or tomorrow and see if this makes a difference. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

i was gonna say check your fluids and make sure its full , you have a manual trans right?
if so put 5w-20 motor oil.

 

Use Honda Manual Transmission Fluid. It's better for the transmission due to the detergents it has in it.
