I just installed a used tranny in my 93 lx and its making a loud knocking noise when the clutch is not pressed down. As soon as I press is down it stops. Im thinking its the input shaft bearing but seeing as its my DD and I only have 1 car and have to work one more day before I can work on it, would it be ok to drive it just tomorrow? I can shift slow and keep the rpms down? The noise is pretty loud but would it do any permanent damage if I drive it one day? Thanks.

 

You'll probably be all right, I drove all last winter with a bad ISB.

 

I bought my Civic unknowingly with a Bad ISB back in April.

Still driving strong even on a few hard shifts here and there. Just sounds like ****.
