Heya everyone. Recently bought a d16y8 swap and the tranny grinds. Thing is, it grinds when going into some gears and ALWAYS when i have it in gear, and let off the gas. It feels like it grabs, but it grinds and the car seems to slow down faster then normal say on the freeway where u can feel it the most.. If i give it gas, the tranny doesn't grind and seems fine. any ideas? Thanks! -Jeff

Is it a heavey grinding noise or more of a "whirring" noise? Whiring is most likely your bearings. If it grinds all the time then check the fluid level (if there is any in there at all. If it's a bad and loud grinding, then something has gone really bad .

 

tranny fluid is fine. Should be level with the drain bolt yet? its pretty rough grinding haha freaked me out at first !

 

Sounds like bearings, or someone rebuilt this and didnt know what they were doing and didnt put all the spacers in right places. Might wana get this checked out b4 something lets go. Don't learn the hard way. Mine let go and took a huge chunk out of my block!.. Not good..

Good Luck
