well i was driving around today taking care of some bills and when i pulled into my driveway and put the car in nuetral. i hear this loud noise coming from the tranny almost like something is spinning and hitting. any ideas of to what it could be?? i was thinking throw out bearing but im not sure any suggestions and insight would be greatly appreciated. mind you i dont run my car hard at all and always stay within the speed limit. ive had enough speeding tickets already. oh and my setup is a 92 vx with a 99 b18c1.

:EDIT: when i put it in gear the noise goes away

 

If the clutch is out and you still have the noise in neutral then my first guess is going to be the input shaft bearing. Try pushing the clutch in to see if the noise goes away. If it does then it is a slam dunk problem is in the trans

 

noise went away. is that something that could be fixed easily?? would it be safe to drive the car like this?

 

Change the fluid out in the trans put in a good mtf and see what happens. In order to change the isb you have to take the trans out and take it comp apart. It should run for awhile better start saving $$ for a rebuild or replacement

 

god damnit. anyone wanna buy a b18c1. time to go k-series. oh well thanks for your help

 

from PM convo, figured I'd paste this into hear for search purposes.

when you are parked, engine is running, shifter is in neutral, and the clutch pedal is not pressed. the mainshaft on the transmission is spinning, throwout bearing is doing nothing. If you hear the noise then, then it's something in the trans or the engine.


whenever you do press the clutch, it takes a few seconds for the trans to stop spinning. trans in neutral, engine running, clutch to the floor, if you continue to hear the noise, it's the throwout bearing or pilot bearing.</TD></TR></TABLE>

PS: both of your avatars look very similiar at first glance.

 

Input Shaft Bearing Definitely. I just had the same problem and the whole trann yalmost **** on me. The part is about $26-$35 bucks from Honda depending on where you live. Or you could just swap out the tranny. You can get another Hydro tranny for cheap.

There is a write up in the FAQ on how to change out the ISB. Definitely get a Helms. :thumb

 

is this something that could be done in like a day

 

took me about 4 hours from start to finish. You could get it done in a day if you had a garage and lighting and started around 9 am

 

I Had a 100% problem on a 96 prelude. When you are parcked open your hood and try to hold the clutch pusher thinggy (its on front of tranny, in the middel of radiater but on tranny.)...Not sure what its called sorry. Im more then sure thats the problem. Hope it helps have fun!

TRY THIS BEFORE YOU SWAP YOUR TRANNY~~~!!~~!!~!!

 

just got back and i am stumped the noise went away completely i even drove on the freeway and nothing

 

So what was the problem?

 

i dont know it just went away. i pulled out of my driveway and you could hear it put as soon as i got about 2 blocks away it was gone completely

 

i think it is what i was talking about. (you know were you bleed you clutch) that thinggy can get loose sometimes.

 

it probably was but the good thing is that its gone. but could this be a sign of tranny failure to come??
