Default CLunking Noise, Bad?

Ok, when I de-celerate there is a clunking noise. It use to be when I would put my foot on the brake it would make the noise, then it when to when I took my foot off of the gas, and now its when I'm coasting its repetetive (as opposed to the above, only clunk-ed once) It happens anywhere from 1000-2500rpm. I can feel the clunk and if feels like its coming from either the brakes, the engine itself or the suspension. Any any any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I have the same exact problem. I bought a 98 gsr a couple of weeks ago and noticed that problem.

This is my first stick so I'm not sure what it is, but I figured it isn't normal.

Can anyone help?

I just reread the first post, and maybe mine's not quite exactly like that.

Mine might be the throwout bearing or synchros.

Anyways, i had the engine mounts replaced on my accord. It was about $400. It might be more expensive b/c it's acura and not honda.

I found out the problem!!!! It turns out that with after market alloy or aluminum wheels, the lug nuts need to be checked regularly. My wheels were ready to fall off and thats what the noice was! I feel like such a dumb ass! Anyways for those of you with alloy rims or aftermarket rims, check your lugs on the reg!

This is true. I've had it happen to me about 3 times. But I figured it out the first time with in 10 minutes of having my car parked. I don't know how long they could have lasted without tightening them. Hope you didn't drive for too long like that.

What kind of damage could I have done had I been driving like that for say 3 or 4 days? In other words, I drove like that for 3 or 4 days, what should I check to see if it needs to be replaced?

only way to tell is to look yourself. just take off the wheels and visually inspect everything. if nothing looks screwed, you're probably ok.

just make sure you tighten the wheels up right when you put them back on.
