i have removed the differential bearings from my old civic, the tranny is a jdm ys1 (i believe) for a grs motor, it is also equipped with the factory honda lsd wich is why a tapered style bearing is used instead of a roller style bearing wich is found in a usdm tranny (according to helms)..

the bearings are severely damaged, but proper honda tranny fluid was used and reguarly changed...

i like to find the source or cause of problems, not just fix them, wich is why i am posting this in these 2 local boards and on honda-tech..

please respond with any info...

 

maybe the tension on the bearing was wrong, you could use change them for ball bearings

 

do you have any information supporting that idea?? switching to ball bearings?? i believe the roller (tapered) bearing is used because of the forces applied by the lsd, when it is engaged and so on... also the tranny was never apart or tampered with to my knowledge, and i found no signs that it had ever been apart

thanks for the input

 

bump

dealer is only offering a ball bearing i am wanting to find the tapered bearings, ill look for them

 

Do all the rollers look like in the pic? I've seen something very similar on wheel bearings where water got into a sealed bearing and rusted the rollers and races. Could that trans have sat outside and gotten water into the case? HOw do the gear teath look? Did you check the oil you drained with a magnet? I would be concerned the metal particles got into the rest of the trans.

 

Looks like the differential bearings in the v6 Accord trannys that are crapping out. Incorrect preload is what we think causes it on them.

 

the y/80- s/80 out of the gsr's and R tranny used to use tampered roller bearings..as you sayd for strengh. newer gsr and r tranny's came with ball bearings

 

as soon as i locate the new bearings i will reassemble and check for proper clearences...

the tranny drove fine for about 10k miles then the car and motor was redone and the tranny sat for about 6 months, car was done and put back together and the noise got worse and worse starting from day one of reassembly..


thanks for all the help fellas, now i am only needing to find the replacement tapered bearings that do not seem to be available here in the US..
the part number on the bearing is brand NTN ET-CR-08A11ST

anyone have a hook up??? ill pay top dollar, i just cant find them

 

Did you try http://www.ntn.ca ??

Check bearing suppliers, too. Cincinnati HAS to have bearing distributors.

Measure the inside & outside diameters. I needed a clutch bearing for a Honda lawnmower, they wanted about $80. So I went to a bearing distributor with a part # (SKF or NTN or somebody...) $25 but the bore was wrong. Honda had taken the bearing & bored it to fit their clutch parts. Be prepared in case that happens...
