Problem with 1st gear
Problem with 1st gear
When I rev the engine to 4,000 RPM from a stop and let go of the clutch pedal with the car in 1st the wheels just spin and make loud sqealing noises. Does anyone else have this problem? Could my axles be bad? Could the problem be that I removed that cylinder thing in the trunk?

Rev the engine til you cant go any higher, put it in 5th gear, drop the clutch. You might smell something burning from the engine compartment but don't worry, it's just a minor side effect. No more squeeling, problem fixed, pat yourself on the back.
Slightly off topic..
I used to have a problem with my clock fading in and out. So i went to an ASE certified mechanic (none better). He said when you see the clock fading in and out like that, most likely your timing chain is worn, so it won't be able to keep the time properly. Had that sucker replaced immediately.
Now when people ask me the time, I let them know and smile to myself knowing that they've been properly informed.

I have the same problem as well. I hopped into this Honduh Civic with shiney stuff and stickers and white rims and it didn't do it, even at 6500rpm. I need to find the source of this problem with my car.

i think that lever is for fuel economy b/c my car doesn't feel as fast with it up. it's sbroken though b/c i get worse gas mileage.
uh.... ok
i wasn't sure if the guy was making a joke or not. if he wasn't you guys are just being a bunch of asses, it gets really tiring seeing people tear others apart like that. that's what my little brother does. he is in junior high. i'm pretty sure most of the people on here are a lot older than that.
