hey i was think of getting a car from this dude but it needs a new throw bearing how hard is that to do and what will i need to replace??? oh yea where is the throw out bearing located????

 

The bearing is located over the input shaft on the tranny. You need to pull the tranny to access it. Basically, when you push the clutch pedal, the slave cylinder pushes on the arm going inside the tranny, which has the throw-out bearing on the end of it. The bearing rides the pressure plate and pushes the diaphragm in order to disengage the clutch.

Therefore, if the throw-out bearing is bad, you'll only hear it when pushing the clutch pedal. If you hear a grinding bearing noise when say pulling out in first gear and putting some load on the tranny, that's the input shaft bearing. It's a common failure in Honda tranny's that get beat on, and you have to open the tranny to replace it.

A throw-out bearing and an input shaft bearing are two very different fixes cost wise if your paying someone to repair it.

 

well said, yeah replacing the input shaft bearing requires crackin the case and going inside. the throwout can be changed and acccessed without having to take the tranny apart. good luck

 

damn thanks what if i just get a new tranny will that get rid of the problem too

 

Why would you get rid of the tranny? You're going to need one so why not fix this one? Have someone that has experience to help you replace the bearing and you can learn too just incase next time it needs to be replaced. Besides, what if the next transmission you get has the same problem?

yep...replacing my tranny was pretty hard but luckily had 3 uncles to help me out...and it wasn't even a b-series tranny it was only for my y8...

 

You have to pull the tranny off either way.. IF you don't have a problem with the current tranny there is no reason to replace it.. Just pull the tranny and replace the throw out bearing... While your doing it you might as well replace your clutch as well... You don't want to have to do it again.. I can drop my tranny in about 45 minutes by myself.. Putting it back in takes a little longer and its much easier with 2 people.. Get a good shop manual and then go for it...

 

pulling the tranny and swapping the throwout bearing is relativly simple you could have it done in a half a day if you know what you are doing.

Good call. When someone is dropping the transmission, I usually recommend replacing clutch, pressure plate, flywheel (resurface or replace), pilot bearing, release bearing, input shaft bearing, and rear main seal - that way, it is highly unlikely you'll have to drop it again soon afterwards (unless you screwed up the install, or have a catastrophic failure).

 

appriciate all the great advice..........here gors nothin!!!!!!!awwwwwwwwwww

 

Does anybody live in Lincoln Nebraska that would help. I have the same problem and I can't afford a mechanics $550 charge. Prom is soon and I need my car to be perfect. IL pay $250 for help. Please?!

 

Just drop the transmission and replace the throwout bearing. Hondas are seriously the easiest things to work on. hope this helps...

 

I don't have a lift or even the tools. Other wise I would

 

Yeah the throw out bearing just went out in my car, get a group of friends, watch a video on youtube and borrow some uncles or friends dads tools.
