i have a h22 accord with the f22 transmission, it recently started grinding 3rd gear and i kept driving it......today i went out for a run in it and it started knocking really bad....what could cause a transmission knock besides loose flywheel or pressure plate, it still shifts into all gears....Could something inside the tranny gears have broke and be knocking....

It sounds similar to a rod knock but its coming from the transmission? any ideas?

 

I've had a bearing let go before (mainshaft), could be that.

 

Broken diff pin.

 

Either way, time for a H22 trans. Get a JDM F20B LSD trans, you won't regret. If you're nervous about bad gas mileage then go with an H23 trans or yet get a F22 trans which you can get the most MPG out of it.

 

OBX LSD here for over 2 years taking over 650 WHP. Not 1 hiccup yet... I DID change the washers in the middle out though...

 

I've been outta the game for a decade now, but is OBX good **** these days? Wow, I never thought I'd see that day come. When OBX LSD first hit the scene, nobody could remove their axles once they were installed.

 

i hear theyre still not much better.

 

Word.

 

Im not syng theyre the BEST option, but I will say that with just a little work (Changing the bellievue washers in them) thyve taken 2-3 years of SEVERE abuse in my 3000 LB 650 WHP shitbox... Not 1 issue.

 

You believe everything you HEAR? There are 5 of us in your area having no issues AT ALL with them well north of 600whp.

 

i would have to say loose flywheel
