my hx tranny makes a noise when th eclutch is engaged and when its not it goes away. its like a knocking/ tapping noise when i drive and if at idle its there until u push the clutch in the noise goes away. i heard its the isb. now i can get an ex tranny from craigslist for 100, should i get it or just replace the bearing in the hx? im thinkin ex tranny. also i have a new slathe on the hx tranny, can i put it on the ex one?

 

If your transmission other than the problem described is fine. I would keep yours and swap the throw out bearing and check the main shaft bearing ( if the shaft has movement side to side, I would replace it also ).

 

swap in the ex/si tranny...it's much shorter which will aid in accelerating if that's something u care about,it will hurt ur gas milagebut it's not gonna that much
