whiring noise (WTF?) BONE NEED YOU

[gloryhog]

I had a stock dx tranny on my jdm z6 and I bought a s20 from a guy on honda tech , he said nothing wrong with it so I picked it up and I take the dx out , put the same throw out in and put the ex tranny on. there was no prob. when I took the dx off, and when I test drove the ex tranny there is a deep whiring sound when you accelerate and when you down shift. is this a bearing or the tranny????

both, a bearing in the tranny.

Gonna go out on a limb and say input shaft bearing? HAHA I think every Honda trany needs one. Awhile back I bought a Del Sol SI trans, you know...."no grinds, shifts good, nothing wrong with it"

So it arrives ups and I crack it open onlt to have WATER pour out lol. ISB was shot so I said screw it I will toss it in anyhow and see how it shifts. Um crunch grind crunch crunch rofl. $1150 later in bearings, syncros, hubs, shifter forks and a Quaife LSD I got me a sweet shifting nice super quiet tranny. Don't you just LOVE internet sales?

well thanx , the tranny sits in my shop collecting dust ,I only paid like 150 for it so its not like its a total loss.

simple ISB test I perform on any tranny I look at.......

grab the input shaft, and wiggle.

Any slop side-side or in-out, worn ISB. It it slaps around like a $2 whore, tranny is goona be too expensive to fix (IMHO)

ISB replacement = $80 installed
Cutting out the outer bearing race = another $70

Then figure if the ISB was that bad, the tranny will need a 1-2 shifter fork, again $80 installed.

See why I get so many "FREE" trannys?
