Complains from my Civic

[hengws]

Hi,

Ok. My 05 Honda Civic ( 7th Gen ES5A) has 2 problems that i noticed recently and it's really making itself heard;

1) There's a noise thats occasionally occuring when I'm driving, which i can't seem to pinpoint. It sounds like 2 rusty/metal surfaces rubbing slightly at each other. It's not from the engine, I have opened the bay and try to reproduce it when I'm tap on the accelarator but to no success. I do noticed that it doesn't occurs if i'm on the brakes. It had occured the most often when my car moves over uneven surfaces. I have a feeling it might be from the wheels/brakes but to my untrained eye, i can't really spot any problems.

2) I noticed that the surface of my gearbox is awfully warm if i drive for a some time ( approximately 40-50mins). I've talked to the technician when i did my 70k servicing and he said that it had nothing to do with the transmission. He said i can check it on my 80k major service due in July.

For your info, the car still drives well at low/high speed and it really doesn't affect my daily commute routine and i could jolly well wait for my next servicing before i get my workshop to take a look at this. However, i'm worried that it might be a major problem in disguise and it'll affect the car in the long run.

Do need expert advice from the gurus here and the issues before i go to the workshop. It's better to have an idea of the problem or i'll get chop carrot. Thanks for your time and replies in advance.

Its normal for the gear box to be warm.
Mine also warm after driving for a slight.

btw, when was the last time you change ur gearbox oil?
