Tranny: 95 GSR
When the car is in neutral, it makes this weird sound like the tranny is grinding on some thing. But stops when I engage the clutch. But makes the sound agian when in gear. At first I thought it was the throw out bearing so I replaced that, but it's still doing it. I have no idea what it is now.
Note: It sounds like 2 peices of moving metal touching each other.

 

Sounds like input shaft or bearing.

 

Textbook scenario for what was mentioned above.

 

Agreed the bearing is 91004-P21-003 and costs around 43.84

it is usually number 17 or the one that is on the case

 

It could also be the bearing in the flywheel part number 91006-634-008 and sells for about 18.00

 

I'm almost certian it's the input bearing after doing some research. But after reading how it's a pain to replace, I'm hoping it's something else.

Only way to find out is take her apart

That's what I will be doing. I haven never really taken a tranny apart before. So hopefully everyting goes right.

 

input shaft bearing, same thing happened to my y1. i had to take off the casing and press out the old race which was separated from the inner pieces. pain in the *** to say the least. i had to use a bearing puller from autozone. hope all goes well.

 

please do a write up if you attempt this. mine is doing the same noise and im sure i have the same problem.

If you have never done one before I suggest you get someone who has to do it. trust me I have seen friends try to do these and they have had nothing but a PITA of an experience. These are guys who are somewhat mechanically inclined. Trust me get it done by an experienced mech.

I commend you though if you attempt to do it. I also wish you luck (no sarcasm intended)

Thanks for your kind words. I want to play around with this with some friends to learn about transmission. I wouldn't know til I do it so this is gonna be an experience for me and my friends. I'll try to do to a write up.

Transmission can be very intimidating first time you do it
Its easy once you do one

 

Definitely an input shaft bearing. My old b16 s1 tranny had this same problem.. I got rid of it (cheap) and bought a j1 to replace it. No more problems.

Good luck.
