    I have a 1997 Civic MT with 120k. There is a deep banging noise I hear
    at least once a day generally when accelerating in 2nd or 3rd gear. The
    duration of the noise may be 5 seconds. I experience no loss of power
    or gear slippage or any other effects, just this noise. I have been to
    2 dealers who are unable to pinpoint the cause. I have been told it may
    be my clutch, but I have never experienced any gear slippage or clutch
    pedal oddities.

    Have you checked the motor mounts?

    Coincidentally, I had the timing belt done on my 97
    Civic MT at 100K and there turned out to be a
    broken motor mount. The driver side front in fact.
