Throw out bearing or input shaft bearing?
96 civic ex
When I am driving my car makes a light whining/grinding noise sometimes. If I push the clutch in it goes away, and it doesn't make the sound if in neutral. Sometimes it won't do it at all and sometimes it does it all the time. I am about to change the clutch, and I want to know what you think to see if I should go ahead and swap the input shaft bearing, or if it sounds like it is just the throw out bearing. Thanks

when you do the clutch check for free play in the input shaft... spin it around see if you hear any dry bearing noises or anything wierd and not normal.
but then again if it doesn't do it in neutral with the clutch out it doesn't really sound like the ISB.

definitely your throw out bearing usually people only replace the input shaft bearing for extra insurance against problems later. But my 96 ford probe i had made the same noise when the clutch was engaged and put a new clutch kit in no more problems

I am a victim of a bad ISB and that sounds like the throw out bearing, if you do not know what you are doing when opening the tranny things can go wrong. I had to get a whole new tranny when i opened mine because things went wrong, but it was worth it. If you have the time and money go and open it up and spin it like the previous people said, but if you do not then leave it be because what you are describing does not sound like the isb, but the Throw out bearing, so replace it when you do your clutch and everything will be ok.

Re: Throw out bearing or input shaft bearing?
i had new clutch and cable put in last year
after couple months same noises you describe i heard and still hear.
since clutch and cable are new, could it still be the throw out bearing ?
this noise was never heard before new clutch was put it.
any thought please ?

Re: Throw out bearing or input shaft bearing?
A grinding noise with the clutch pedal up points to a bad input shaft or other main bearing in the transmission. Dying with the clutch pedal down may indicate a separate idle problem.

Re: Throw out bearing or input shaft bearing?
my civic is doing the same thing. I went to my mechanic and told him about the noise. He told me that it was most likely the throw out bearing. I had him install and new throw out bearing and a clutch since he was near it. But after the installation, i still had that annoying noise. He then told me that it could be the input shaft bearing in the tranny. i want to make sure that it is this time and if i should just replace the bearing or a new tranny too.. help anyone??

Re: Throw out bearing or input shaft bearing?
When the grinding noise is happening with the clutch disengaged that is most likely your input shaft bearing. If you are going to work on the clutch you should either check the isb as mentioned in the earlier post or put a new one (used) back on. Repairing our rebuilding the tranny is timely and expensive. If you do drive just keep the clutch engaged when stopped to minimize the wear. Other boards have users say that they drove for a long time with this issue.
Its not an option for me long term due to the fact I seen to be in the wrong gear and have no overdrive even when in ffifth gear.
I pulled one at a junk yard for less than a hundred bucks.
Hope that helps...
