firstly...I have a 1992 acura integra gs 1.8 4dr. 189,000 miles. I use this car to commute to work and everywhere.

Recently I've had a new muffler and passenger side driveaxle put on.

For the last 6 weeks I've been hearing a knocking/clicking noise when I make turns. More so on left turns. I suspect the engine mounts are bad. Mechanic said my cv joints were okay...All they did was look at the boots though for leaking.

**Note I don't always trust what mechanics say.**

In the last 2 weeks my exhaust has become louder and louder coming from the front. I suspect close to where it connects to the engine in front. hole? disconnection?

In the last few days I've been having trouble getting 2nd gear and even 3rd gear to grab. I usually just push the clutch in twice to get it to grab. the pressure of the clutch pedal has become more stiff. I can feel a click in the pedal. It seems much thinner when I'm letting off clutch in first.

I've worked on my acura plenty before. But with each thing that goes wrong its a learning process for me to figure out how to fix it. I've kept this thing going almost 200,000 miles. Now I'm worried I might have to just give up on it.

The first priority is that I fix this clutch problem. 2nd priority is the clicking on turns. the loud exhaust I can put off until last. Can anyone help me diagnose whats causing some of these problems? Once I get some kind of an idea and some tips I can jack the car up and get under the hood and dirty.

Or someone just offer me money to take this burden off my hands so I can just get a new (used) car off the lot. I can post pictures.

feedback/ideas/speculations/tips/experience/advice/diagrams/instructions/encouragement/recommendations --- I need all of this. I am new to this forum. hopefully there are some integra gurus. Much appreciation
