i was driving my buddy's 97 civic hatch and i had a hard time changing the gears. the shifting was nothing but smooth and it was really hard. i thought there was a problem with the gear box rather than the tranny 'cause once the gear is in, there's no problem. am i right.
also, when i openned the air filter box to check the air filter, i heard an unusual succion sound. would that be the vaccum?
thanks
