I've decided to tackle my own gearbox rebuild.
The box shifts well enough except for an annoying whining/grinding noise which is almost completely gone when I fully engage the clutch, so I'm pretty sure it's the Input Shaft Bearings. I guess I'll only be sure when I see inside.
While I've got the box out and cracked open I plan to replace the other bearings and seals. I plan to order parts from overseas to save on $$$ but I've noticed a couple of different options from sellers i.e. some bearing kits for the D16Y8 online are for VTEC/non-VTEC SOHC engine models and all L3, S20 and S40 transmissions. Finally, some kits have a 72mm outside diameter diff bearing and others have a 80mm (or 35mm and 40mm which I assume is the inside diameter).
Since mine is a stock D16Y8, I'm pretty sure its the S40 transmission with VTEC and 80mm outside diameter (40mm inside diameter) diff bearings, but I just want to make sure before I pull the trigger i.e. this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Transmission-Transaxle-Rebuild-Kit-1992-00-1-6L-V-TEC-Honda-S20-S40-SG8-BK386-/321568371688?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4adef7f3e8
All help appreciated!
