ok i got this si trans off a friend but he got it in a car he bought and teh motor had spun a bearing or something i forget...anyways i get it in today after getting a new clutch for it cause i own a 88 and its a 89 tranny 21 and 20 spline for those who dont know....and how instead of whining when down shifting it makes a way weird wzzing sound....i used honda tranny fluid....so i dunno if its to thin or wut ever help a dego out...im gonna drain the fluid tomarrow and see if there is any metal shavings in there just so u know its drivable but it dont sound good guys im kinda scared that i got dicked over.....and if i did man o man

 

Did you replace your release bearing and grease the bearing and the shaft real well? Just a thought.

 

I've had that whzzing sound on my past two transmissions. One was on a Jeep, tho'. ;-)

Well, I've got that Si trans on my '90 hatch, and whenever I downshift, I'll get that sound. I always thought it was the synchros. I thought it was a good, healthy sound. May be wrong. Heh.

However, I do know for a fact that some transmissions are 'louder' than others.

 

does it go bbbbzzzzzzzzzzzooooooooo
like into 1st?

also howd you deal w/ the difference in spline issue?

 

hey, my b16 tranny does that too. whizzing sound comes on for a few seconds during accelerating.

 

haha you said screw.

 

yeh and when i down shift into second from fourth or from 3rd....itll do it in any gear if i dont shift....i had to get a new clutch for a 89 so it matched the flywheel and all....yes new bearings it dont do it in neutral so its not bearings...im gonna go to the shop put it on the lift and see wut comes outa there....if nothing comes out thnk i should just use 10w30 witch is a lil heavier and quiet it down?

 

my stock std trans will make that noise down shifting into 1st. trans is fine. i think its just the say it sounds. i dunno
