the tranny seems to be smooth while accelerating, however when i release the gas pedal and the tranny is slowing the car down it sounds like the car is whining or congested. Its tough to explain.

also, when i put the car inn neutral and let it coast from say 20km/hr the tranny chatters....u can hear it slowing down. Im sure its the tranny and not the motor.

anyways i dont think any of these are normal....any suggestions before I take it to the dealer??

 

Whats up dude?

Welcome to my to my life. I've had that exact same thing for a while. It's your main tranny bearing (throwout bearing). It's pooched. Needs replacing.

At idol in neutral, listen for a humming/chattering sound ..... now press in the clutch. Sound goes away? Then quickly release the clutch ... sound comes back? Throwout bearing.

No, the throwout bearing works <U>only</U> when the clutch is pressed. If it goes away when you press down an internal tranny bearing, almost always the front mainshaft bearing aka input shaft.

This is a common ITR problem. More $....Good luck

well if you guys are correct, than my local dealer is paying for it lol.....my whip is still under warranty thank god

how long does something like that take to do, a few hours or a whole day??

 

I takes at least a day, the tranny needs to be pulled, disassembled and rebuilt. Make sure that whoever does it inspects all of the internal parts(syncros, gears etc..) better to fix it while the tranny is already off than later.

 

How much does this cost from the dealer without a warranty on an auto/manual tranny?

 

im guessing for something like bearings that are not that expensive but the labour is mayybe around $1100???

 

I got a quote from a local Canadian Acura dealership for around $2000CDN to replace the clutch and synchro 2-3, so it's going to be in that order to replace the input shaft bearing as well.

 

diy ftmfw!

i did AntonioH's with his help in a couple of evenings after work.

It took that time to order and pick up the parts from the dealer.

 

i have this weird whine when im accelerating from a stand still...any clue?

 

my last R had a grenaded bearing, and 2 others that were shot.. Bill was $900, but i had warranty.
