It only happens when I'm light on the clutch, but it doesn't sound like a clutch sound to me. Sorta like a high whinning sound (not belts or power steering) with a frequency that matches my engine RPM. It doesn't happen if I'm a little more aggressive with the clutch, or even if i dump it. Clutch feels fine, shifts nice. Can someone help me out?
Thanks.

 

What is a 98' civic si anyhow?

 

98 si? 98 w/ a b16? any is the clutch new? b/c my act did that when it was breaking in that slight chirp sound? when i would ease out on it and sometimes thats also a sign that your in need of a new clutch disk.

 

also another thought you got a after market stereo and speakers in it, b/c you migh be getting some engine noise through the system that sounds like whinning if that the case youll have to buy a noise filter.

 

He probebly lives in Canada. The Si in Canada is the US equivalent EX.

 

good thinking didnt think about that si-ex sir-si

 

:yay: Wow! That was an honsest question, thanks for answering it in a good way. I dint know. usually poeple would start talking shite.

 

I had that sound on my car, it went it away when i change my brakes. Check your brakes out, they might be grinding against the rotor while driving due to uneven pad wear.

 

yes i do live in canada. and it's got a D16Y8. No it's not a new clutch, and no it's not coming through the sound system. I don't hear it all of the time. Only when in let the clutch out when starting off. Doesn't sound too serious. I'm probably due for a new clutch soon anyway, my girlfriend taught herself how to drive stick last summer.
thanks for your help people.

 

thats your problem right their, she probably rode that clutch like she rides you(hard) haha jus playin
