Ok heres the deal.
if i press the clutch down i can go through each gear with no problem but say i go into first then release the clutch there is a horrible grinding noise.
it does this with all the gears
also i can shift into each gear without using the clutch and it creates the same effect of the horrible grinding noise. in certan gears the spedo goes up like the wheels are spinning but they are not. jdmb16, no lsd.

DragII

did you install a new clutch when you installed the motor?

Gonzo

Can't really make out for sure but does it feel like it's slipping? Revs with very little if any car movement?

TODAwhore

if you are unable to move and its making that noise with the speedo moving sounds to me like a broken diff...cause i have gone through 2 so far from drag racing and big slicks, what i broke were the spider gears. i would pull the axle(s) and just check them out..

Kamin

ok
no new clutch
NO movment at all
axles come off sunday (no time)
im thikning its an axle cause when we were pushing the car back into my driveway you could hear some funny *** noises from there

Cory

THats what im thinkin' Yer diif is screwed. The engine runs fine but when you clutch it into the drivetrain it grinds = drivetrain problem. It would most likely occur in the diif.
sorry

Kamin

so am i BUT now i can get an LSD

anyone know how much labor would be on an lsd install if the tranny is off the car?
im not comfortable enough to crack the tranny case yet.

HXMan

I would not go into your tranny and start working on it. It is a crazy maze in there, and to get at the diff you need to remove all the gears.(I took apart my old tranny for poo poos and giggles)

If you do decide to do it yourself, at least get a service manual...but that may be a problem with a Jspec tranny.

Kamin

no im not going to bother with cracking the tranny case...dont have the time or the desire
so would it just be cheaper to buy a used tranny?
Sh*t.
i need $...

also how much would a differental run? stock nonlsd AND a stock LSD one.
TIA

TTT

anyone know how much a stock differental is?
also labor with the tranny out of the car?

deepnite

check the fluid level

hobo79

last time that happen to me, my driveshaft was screwed. about a $300 fix for one driveshaft.

Kamin

fluid is fine. no leaks just changed my damn engine.

please explain how your driveshaft was screwed?
do you mean the actual axle that runs from the tranny to the wheel?

Sounds like you spun an driveshaft in a CV joint. Easy to diagnose.

Lift the car off the ground.

Put it in 1st gear, and move one wheel. The other wheel should move in the opposite direction.

If it does, then grab the other wheel while rotating the opposite one.

LOOK at the axle shafts and make sure they are turning.

You can also do this while the car is running, but you'll need help.

The biggest key is to check that the axle is actually moving, that's how you'll know if you broke a CV joint spline.

My buddies car did exactly the same thing, and we spent 3 days trying to figure it out. Just out of dumb luck, after getting totally fustrated, he looked at the axle and it was moving, but the wheel wasn't. BAMM, broken CV spline.

YES! It sounds like the diff is screwed when this happens.

UPDATE!
B18C-EJ1 was right.
i put my car on jackstands and threw it in first, the entire axle spins except for the outer cv joint. thank GOD because i litterally have 2.38$ in my bank account and this axle has a lifetime warranty.

thanks to EVERYONE!

All of these tranny, axel, and diff. problems are getting on my nerves i myself have already went through three trannys in a year and a half. I admit that i do alot of play racing but i only misshift like once a month at most and i have always used redline fluids so i know it is not me also i am always reeplacing my clutch. It just seems like most honda tranny's are prone to fail with constant high rpm shifts,espeially the D series trannys ....

sorry just had to rant...........
