Always Kah Motor CSL ..until my car stolen.. Now no car

hi all honda owner, anyone of your driving the latest gen of honda city? does your car have small "tick" sound when changing auto gear? sometimes "clummmn" sound when fast changing gear like D to P or D to R? i send to service centre near johor, they always say its normal. but i dont think so. can city owner give some opinions?

It's normal

I avoid the Jalan 222 branch. Last time repaired my car there after accident. They scratched the vent near the windshield.

Don't go to USJ service centre.

I have been sending my City to there for service for almost 2 years.

Almost every vist, they charged me RM700 to RM1,300

Result? Door got squeaking sound when unlock, jerking during stopping and stopped, squeaking sound come out from engine, rear brakes not functioning properly and worse, I paid RM300 for service the brake, nearly caught in accident when it fail to function properly. All the mechanic say is "come back next time, I'll fix for you"
Can't you do it all at once?

Unless your car is less than a year old, you can try service there.

really normal? hmm, its quite audible when hear from outside the car, is you car having this kind of tick tack sound everytime change gear position? how come i drive any other autogear car also dun hv this kind of sounds at all....

i have this problem also. But normally it will be during cold starts. After that no sound.

My problem seems to be the shivering during idle. I send to 2 service centers, both came back with no problem, cant detect any problem of shivering.

mine cold start or warmed up also have the quite audible sound when i change the gear position and the sound is coming from the engine room. not sure is it gearbox problem or it is normal... i dun hear sounds from other citys also seems like. can you verify your car got the sound or not? like when in the case you stop your car, wan to parking, wind down your window, then u push your gearknob from D to P straigh, try to notice is there any sound coming from engine room? or its no sound at all? many thanks if you can help coz i hardly can find a city owner to test it out for me.....

ya.. got sound. Even if dont wind down the window, inside the cabin also can hear slight sound when from D to P.

to double confirm later i will try again after finish work.

ok thanks! make sure the sound is audible is from engine room if there is any... and try changing gear when you wind down windows, hear is there any similar sounds between random gear change...

cranking sound?

i duno how to define the cranking sound is like .. mine is something like "tick" "tack" or "clumm" sound, just notice wat kind of sounds you hear if there is any when doing random gear change in stationary position with brake on and wind down your windows, notice is there sounds from engine room when doing random gear change position. thanks bro!


ps: the sound i mention is not from the gear column itself, its from engine room.


and as to answer your problems, during cold start the RPM is higher, so when you change gear during tat time, its definately will have some sounds. hope it clear your doubt that is not a problem.

thats what i thought it was, so i sort of think its normal.

what i m annoyed now is the lil shiver which cant be felt by the technicians.

Maybe i m just sensitive.

shivering as in can feel it only or u also can notice the rpm drop and rise? when does then shivering occurs?

only on idle, both N and D also got abit.

The RPM remains there. Didnt quite notice drop and rise much.

how old your car and millage? if rpm remains there means its not a engine issue, and you feel shivering or vibrating mostly its a engine mounting issue but i dun think they will rectify it and only will say its normal as slightly shivering they wont do anything for you i guess and you can hardly request them to do anything as well if its really slightly....

let me check whether my car got any slightly shivering or not as i seldom use the car, its my parent who normally use the car, i just wondering how come the gear change got sounds when other made car normally dont have any sounds at all when change gear.

just now finish work, i tried no sound coming from engine bay.. But just now i went out, R to D got "klok" sound. Just once only after that dont have d..

hmmm, no sounds at all? not even tiny "tick" sound? tats weird... then i think my car got problem...
