car: 95 gsr has anyone here experienced or know about a clunking sound everytime they shift gear? this just started happening to me tonight and i don't know if it's safe for me to drive it to work tomorrow. it's a weird yet extremely noticeable clunking sound coming from underneath the gearbox everytime i shift gear. sounds as though something is loose. my car runs normal when i'm just cruising w/out shifting gears but once shifting starts again, i hear that sound and feel like my car is unstable. any comments or advice greatly appreciated!!!!!

 

hmm not sure but I don't think it's too safe to drive around if there's a clunking sound. Best bet is to take it to a shop.

 

does any one else have any other suggestions???

 

I'd flush out the tranny fluid, put some new stuff in. I remember reading somewhere that synthetic is recommended, but with a bit of regular mixed in for friction.

Any truth to this?

 

Don't do that, either use Honda MTF, or Redline MTL (synthetic w/ friction additives for proper synchro operation). Some say GM Synchromesh fluid works great, as well, but I've never used it.

 

Thanks for clearing that up. I remembered seeing something about friction, and there you have it

 

clunking? You could check your shift linkage and make sure nothing is loose or the bushings are damaged.
