what could the problem be? i know the fluid is good cause i just changed it and it made the sound before and after the change and the change was done 5k ago

 

is it like a grindy/low pitched whiny?

i had a input shaft bearing go out on a Y8 i had, fixed it myself.

my guess is that if u are hearing rattling/knocking, you have a blown bearing set, and there are ball bearings bouncing around ur trans. like i said, it happened to me....

g/l

 

^^^ what happened to your EK?

 

got a cash offer i couldnt turn down. and then found an XJ i couldnt turn down either...

*sorry for the hijack*

 

haha its ok dude

yeah the sound is kinda grindy not when i shift but when im driving... annoying... so u think it might be the input shaft bearing?

<--- not mechanically inclined, how much do you think that would run me?

 

I had the same thing happen. Was the main main bearing in the tranny. Get ahold of Neal Sutton for a rebuild. He is fair in pricing and trustworthy to deal with.

His name on here is Cxcivic
Here is his number NS RACING (813)842-5517

Good luck

 

If the noise goes away when clutch is in, it's the input bearing.

 

thanks for the help, I repped.

think someone would take a trade for their work hahaha
i have a tanabe super medallion catback exhaust and a spare ex tranny
