D series boxes are much cheaper, can be had for as little as $200 or less.
I wouldnt even bother trying to rebuild a D series box.
If you've got someone to change the box even better
i had to get my a 2nd hand one for my car, that saying, i later found out that instead of having issues with 1-2nd gear, i had issues with 3rd gear grinding, it'll be better if you know the actual condition of the box before putting it in, and it cost me $1250 to changeover
200? Wow ok, now its sounding a bit more promising, are they hard to change over? My bro is a bit of a mechanic thats all
changing a box is pretty much the same in almost all cars, if you've done one you can pretty much do any of them. Pulling a box apart is different.
D series boxes are the most common ones
ok well weve done it before, but does the engine come out? Also, were just gonna do a straight swap, not gonna rebuild, no point, and my reverse crunches sometimes so it is probly a good idea to swap for a diff one anyway
No, the engine does not have to come off.Quote:

Its not screetching at all, it makes like a power tool noise all tje time in every gear, it sometimes dousnt do it in first gear, its like a ver fast pased dadadadada that gets faster as the revs get faster
Sounds like the input shaft bearing then, especially if it follows the RPM and it slows back down after upshifting. If you can find a honda specialist, they can replace it quickly without wasting labour time, especially if you know your gearbox is perfect other than that noise. I would prefer to fix up my good gearbox than to get a used one of unknown condition.Quote:

so is the input shaft bearing not as big a job as the other bearings?

he said honda specialist not Honda Australia.
A good honda mechanic will be able to do it cheaper and fast if it is the input shaft bearing.
If its the input bearing and not the main bearing its alot cheaper.
