Default tranny grind?

I found another problem since my motor swap. Swapped in a d15b vtec with an ex tranny into 94 civic cx hb. I just bled the clutch again tonight, went to start it up and let out on the clutch (while in neutral) and it started to grind. Almost as if it wasn't going into gear. I am pretty sure the tranny doesn't have a linkage adjuster does it?

Is it resisting hard or just grinding like a bitch?

Does it do this in 1st and reverse?

Is it drivable in any way?

Ok, So I put it in first with the clutch in, then drove forward and back...nothing. But when I leave it in neutral with the e-brake on and let off the clutch, then the noise happens

Sounds like you might be losing an input shaft bearing.

Does it shift fine into all gears with the car off?

Yes, it shifts fine while the car is off.

totally agree with him, does the noise go away when you let go of the clutch and go away when you hit the clutch

when I shifted the noise went away. Only when I was in neutral letting go of the clutch, is when it grinded

As much as I'd like to say it's the input shaft bearing, I don't think it is.

It wouldn't be all quiet once it's in 1st, he said it is. My input shaft bearing went and it was loud as hell when you were in gear and riving. It seems as though the clutch isn't disengaging enough, the first step, as he did correctly would be to bleed the clutch, but obviously that didn't help. Check to make sure there's no air in the clutch lines. Test for a bad throwout bearing (take it up the road, if you hear a ticking noise with ur foot lightly on the clutch, that's most likely the cause).

Though I must say I'm pretty stumped.

Oh, heh, yeah, now that sounds like the ISB (input shaft bearing).

Change it out, no biggie, and if you can't do it, it's not exactly labor intensive at a garage. It does require you to drop the trans, but I think it's most likely the cause.

sounds like a input shaft gone bad, well its not as bad as you think, you can drive you car, but its not suggested, i did it for two years with a bad ISB, but you never know when its going to crap out, well to make sure its your isb, first off are you sure its a grinding noise, not just a anoying noise when you let go of the clutch grinding and ISB noise are totally different, check if you car shifts in all gears with the car on and then hit me back
