I was wondering if anyone has experenced this: when going full throttle, there is a high pitch rattle (almost like the sound a ring would make sliding down a metal poll) coming from the transmission area of the car starting at vtec to redline? could it be the clutch plate TSB? also, what causes abnormally load clicking from the engine wile idle?

I have that problem too......I think is from the tranny

Hehehe... heat shield - welding mine tomorrow.

I thought it was the tranny too... it probably isn't.

but if its the heat shield then why is it only resonating at full throttle/high rpm?

That's what resonation usually does.. only at certain rpms.

Take a look at this: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...&threadid=41390

This will usually stop the ringing from the shifter. You can hold the shifter and move it slightly to see if it stops the noise, first.

This will also make the shifts smoother and easier.

Good luck,
