hey guys, just wondering if you honda pro's could give me some advice on what to do about my gearbox.
i've had a search through the forums and found some helpful advice that suggests my problem is probly my synchro's but i couldn't find much info on what options there are to fix such a thing..
My car makes a weird sort of... rattling wurring noise when in neutral with the clutch out.... clutch in and it goes away... apparently that could be a bearing of some form?
Besides that, when driving along in mainly the first 4 gears (cant notice it in 5th anyway) the gearbox makes a loud noise... its like... hmm.. a rattle? i guess it sort of sounds like a metal plate rattling against another metal plate... damn thats hard to describe... Either way, my mechanic told me if it gets any louder i gotta stop driving it, and to bring the car in asap (after new year break) so he could have a better look at it... but i'm impatient and wanna know now :P
So ughhh... what are my options?
New gearbox? if so which??! i'm so confused
Gearbox recondition? how much does that cost generally?
stop worrying because its not a major problem?
not sure if it helps but i've got a D16Y1, and i just had the clutch replaced (last week) with an Exedy so its not that >.> i hope lol
any help is greatly appreciated
