Hello everyone ,
I am not new to the site, but I am new to the site. Thank you to Lucid for the great swap information, evil_demon_01 and deevergote for a great site, 90Cb7sleeper, Jarrett and many others for all the straight to the point useful information.
Following Lucid's swap information, I swapped an ODB1 JDM H22 engine (automatic) into my 93 LX. Everything is fine for the first 15 mins of driving , then hell breaks loose . A rubbing noise comes from under the car, when I accelerate. The sound was strongest under the driver's side of the car. I assumed it was on that side. The car gets sluggish, and takes longer to shift gears at higher RPMs. You can hear the transmission having to do extra work.
Before I figured out what was causing the rubbing noise, I swapped in a different transmission, it made the same noise. I tried new brake pads-No, new rotors - No, new calipers-No, new brake hoses-No, new bearings-No, New axles-No. The engine mounts are in good condition, so I ruled those out . But when I was removing the axle from the passenger side, I saw the grooved marks on the side of the case . It shows where the inner joint is rubbing against it. I looked at the other transmission I tried before, and the marks were in the same location too. I don't know what else to try again . I assumed maybe the engine is mounted too low or too high with the stock Accord mounts. I Google searched so many times for this problem and nobody has this problem, but lucky me .
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated...Thank you !
P.S. This problem has been going on since July 4th.
