Crunching noise in neutral :s b18c7

[Hellomotog]

So I get a crunching noise in neutral when I press my foot down on the clutch and slowly let it out. It happens on the way out. Also in between gears when changing..

Mechanic has told me its "all the bearings in the gearbox" and it's gonna cost 2 gran...

Anyone know if this is true? Or have a good mechanic. I think this one is a little to difficult for diy

Thanks guys

sounds more like the input shaft bearing....common to fail on B and D series motors/setups.
Only way to find out is to drop the box , open it up and go from there.
Do you get any difficulty getting into gears ?

I would recommend at the minimum , replacing the input shaft bearing , counter shaft bearing and release bearing (clutch side).....not $2k !


Pm me if you want this done quickly cheaply and efficiently in Sydney.

sounds like the thrust bearing has failed

does it make noise on heavy acceleration with the clutch fully released ?

[Hellomotog]

Can't hear to be honest.. It's pretty loud

[mocchi]

def not 2k for all bearings

probably cost 1k max
bearing kit probably 300 and labour 600-700

Ye. So that aswell as input shaft bearing and clutch release bearing.

Thanks to Ben on this forum for fixing it. Best mechanic I can recommend for Hondas.

So replaced with an exedy hd organic clutch.

Never use a non heavy duty clutch in a type r motor!
