Performace issues
Hey guys I have a 99 Civic Ex that lately has been giving me some problems.... for one once I've shifted into a gear (mainly 3rd) and gun it the acceleration is slow and most times there's a like a grinding noise.... my speculations are that the clutch is going bad and needs replacing but I'm not certain of what signs I need to be aware of, I've had the car for 5 years and the clutch hasnt been replaced and I doubt it was replaced previous to me owning it
Any suggestions would be appreciated and I'll gladly answer any additional questions, thanks!

well 1st do you have an auto or manual?
2nd how many miles on the car?
3rd is the grinding happening when going into gear? Or when it's already in gear?

Sounds like you are in too high of a gear to be accelerating. You cannot accelerate in most Hondas unless the rpms are about 3000rpms. Or the car will shake and shudder.
