Thank you for taking my question. My transmission had been slipping so i took to a honda dealer. They claimed it was the motor mounts and replaced them. 2 days later slipped again went back confirmed it was the trans. They replaced the trans, a day i later noticed the cv joints clicking at turns (more when backing) i"m not positive that it wasn"t clicking before. The boots are very clean not leaking took it to 3 shops and murfys law made them not hear it untill one guy heard it and said it was because the vehicle made very sharp turns which to did not make any sense what should i do?

Hi there,

I would go back to the dealer and ask them to re tighten the drive shaft locking nuts, Often when the shafts have been removed (must remove to remove transmission} when replaced they can re seat themselves after a short drive and they can start to click in the splines. A quick re tighten may be all it needs.
