Tranny is noisy as heck/ to bearing?
Tranny is noisy as heck/ to bearing?
I have gsr tranny on my ek and its making loud obnoxious noise like a rod know or spun bearing. The noise goes away when I push the clutch in but when I let go its loud as heck. Is it the throwout bearing for sure?

input shaft bearing.
Wears out with mileage, and abusive clutch engaugement.
Esssentially its the main bearing that the "shaft" that your clutch attaches to rides on just inside the case.
After time the bearing baskets that hold the ball bearings into the bearing itself become brittle and break out. When they break out, you will have nothing to keep the ball bearings inside the actual bearing . After time passes ***** drop out and get terminated in the insides of the trans to end up stuck to the magnetic pickup on the bottom of the case. The noise is this bearing riding on less than the full number of ball bearings inside it that it came with. This causes the bearing to roll out of alignment and make a racket.
40.00 bearing. Need to take the trans case apart by breaking all the 12mm's, then removing the snap ring beneath the 1/2 inch socket bolt on the outside of the case. Remove the case, then remove the shifter assy, then remove the gear packs. A slide hammer works good to wack that bearing out if you have the right hammer fitting on the end of it.
Personally, unless you know what you are doing, id take the trans out and take it to someone who knows what they are doing.
If you dont know anyone, drive to the honda dealer and ask a mechanic if they will do it on the side. Pick an old mechanic also, not some dumbass pimple face mongoloid fresh out of wyotech with no experiance besides math quizzes and superstreet articles.
good luck
If you pretend the noise is not there, it will eventually [freak] you and trash the entire transmission for SURE.
