Ek3 Click Noice

sira · February 23, 2013

Guys

I hear little click noise when i release the clutch after shit 1^st gear to 2^nd gear. Or press and release the clutch on 1^st or 2^nd gear.

I did small test. Lift the left front wheel and change the gear to 1. When i turn the wheel (it gets stopped and this in first gear) i can hear that click sound. There is play.

The CV joint and inbound joint are in good condition. Re-grease them few months back and replace the boots too.

Will this noise coming from the gear box differential side?

This is EXi 98 and i noticed this issue with Exi 2000 model too. is this common issue with the model?

Few Honda mechanics said this is normal. How true is this?

The other explanation is it is the gear box end of the drive shafts connected to the CV joints. That will wear off as well.

Yea, i checked them ,. they were good

Thanks

You mean the left side front mount? U shaped mount? Where did you buy the new one geniune or thailand and the cost?

sira · March 30, 2013

The U mount- it was thiland. can cost was 3700. i found a place in delkanda - supream motors and they are open 365 days. prices are good

^ 3700, recondition or new?

Ek3 Ferio · March 31, 2013

That U shaped mount is also not in good condition in mine as well, but I checked a few weeks ago in Teck they told me around 2800 as I remember but it is Malaysian or thailand I dont remember exactly. They didnt have genuine or any Japanese one

But is there a point of replacing such rubber things like mounts with Thailand or Malaysian ones? Will it last long?
