1996 Accord 5-Speed

In 5th Gear (Only 5th Gear) I am hearing a whining sound when accelerating. The sound is louder and lower pitched at lower speeds (40-50MPH) and gets higher pitched with increased speed.

I have been told it is the bearing on the output shaft, and that a complete rebuild of tranny swap is the best way to tackle it.

Please let me know if you have heard of this issue before or have a mechanic recommendation.

Thanks,
Trever T

 

the price of a rebulild may be more than your car is worth. a tranny swap might be better. or maybe even a new used accord.
