Did you changed rear breaks ,may you needs new ones.
Most likely your rear brake shoes are worn down far beyond the min limits and you now have metal to metal contact, which causes the grinding noise, overheating and poor braking. You most likely will need to replace the drums. The other rear wheel will probably be the same.
SOURCE: makes a grinding sound on
the only thing i can think of that would make a grinding sound out of the wheel is if you brake pads are rubbing on the rotor...
if that is happening you should be able to see what looks like a rusty powder on the wheel. if you see that you need to have you brakes checked as soon as possible. it may be a saftey hazard if you drive like that fo to long.
SOURCE: honda civic 97 gear shifter replaced and is grinding on metal
It's all in the linkage set-up right there where it feels so awful, you wanna pull it out and throw it away. Well, don't, because there is a fix for it that will make it nice and crisp and smooth,...well, just like new, in other words. That is, of course, as long as the grinding sound didn't come from inside the trransmission. That is another issue entirely, and sounds like clutch adjustment required.
What I'm referring to fix is the sloppy feel of the gear shifter as you try to run through the gears. All old honda and toyota owners must have experienced this. IIRC, the honda linkage is kind of complicated, but full of a few plastic bushings and pieces that wear over time, wear so bad in fact, they start feeling shoddy. It's easy enough to get a parts list of the gear shift linkage. I think there may even be suppliers out there with kits available to rebuild the whole linkage set-up. Or you could opt for a low mileage part from a salvage yard. Good luck on your '97. Honda had some good home runs. That '81 accord was a quirky little beast, though, but worth it for the awesome gas mileage.
