gearbox noise help !

[x3cindymichael]

hey guys got a 94 honda civic with jdm b16a conversion (manual)

cars been making noises for a while (month or so) but has been getting worse recently. Sounds seem to be coming from the gearbox ..its a whining noise its there a idol and when i'm driving (but can't really hear over exhaust) hear it when gearing down.. and at lights etc etc... seems to getting louder. I'm a noob and my guess is that i need trans fluid ? what do you guys reckon? any help appreciated.

cheers (:

change the fluids and see what happens...

Worse comes to worse, the bearings inside the Gb are shot, which means u might need to tear down the gb and do a rebuild on it...

rebuild prices vary places to places and also depending on what needs to be replace also factor the costs of the rebuild... but generally speaking most rebuilds can cost anywhere of 700 - 1500 or more

i wouldnt think rebuild and changing gbox bearings are the same.
i only use the term rebuild when all synchros on all gears, shift forks, main/countershaft, thrust clearance are checked within service limit and replaced if theyre replaceable.

rebuilt gearbox would include all bearing replacement.

Most places ive come across tend to say, since its apart, its best to replace most items within it as its a hassle to later on and replace them if they decide to go crap....

but it might be cheaper just to replace the gb altogether

Most likely the ISB

What's the isb ? Hm found out the windin was a p/s leak .. Gearbox still makes noises but it's
more a grinding .. Any ideas fellas ?

Input shaft bearing. Light, continuous grinding on idle, tends to go away when you put your clutch pedal in.

[x3cindymichael]

Yeah it's similar to that . Anyway to fix it ? How much would it cost ?

[dougie_504]

It's expensive. Most shops ask for about $500 to remove/install a gearbox. The bearing itself won't be cheap but most shops would recommend or expect a full bushing kit instead of just the one. You'll be looking at $800-1500 depending. Call around and ask bro
