Default 89 CRX W/ B16a swap squeal on acceleration.

It’s strange it will squeal any time I’m starting from a dead stop all the way trough 3rd gear, I was told it was an axel but I also heard it was a “trough out bearing” I’ve never heard of that bearing so I don’t know what I’m looking for, I was told it was around the tranny. As for the axel part it does not clunk when turning or make any other noises; I’ve dropped the clutch hard a few times and nothing out of the ordinary occurred. I’m at a loss I don’t want to trough money at a problem I can’t pin point. Any ideas?

the throw out bearing is in the clutch/flywheel area. might want to check out the pilot bearing too.

I would check it also, sometimes it might be too tight as well.

You should be able to grab the belt and turn in 1/4 to 1/2 way. If you can't turn at all its to tight, if you can turn more it is to loose.

Def your acc belt or alternator belt if you cant turn it. you should be able to loosen the tensioner and fix the issue. just make sure you dont in turn loosen it too much.

What tranny do you have? I have a y1 lsd tranny, when i bought new axles i bought raxle ones for the y1 tranny. The axles depends on what intermediate shaft you have.
