Hello all,

I have came across a weird whine coming from the gearbox side of things.

The whine is like when you try to accelerate in reverse but it only happens when im up at say 30+ 

and i slightly press the accelerator pedal like im trying to maintain speed. it usually gets worse the

faster i go but as soon as i let go of the throttle it stops? 

 

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Sounds like the gearbox bearings; you could check the oil level though. When you accelerate you are putting force through the gearbox but not when you take your foot off. If it is quiet when coasting in neutral but noisy in gear and putting power on then it must be the gearbox; nothing else it could be really except amybe CV joints but they tend to click on turning or growl badly.

 

What mileage has it got?

 

When idling does it make a slight noise which goes if you press the clutch down? Civic gearbox input shaft bearings are a 'known' problem.

Equally a healthy box will have some input shaft noise in neutral. 

Every honda I've owned has had it. And every gearbox including one I replaced I put shaft bearing.

 

But the whining is likely a box issue. 

Possibly diff bearings? If it's happening in any gear at a specific speed

Oil has been changed just incase it needed topped up.

its on 96k

 

I was just trying to cancel out certain things like thrust bearing

 

it only does it once im moving and can hear it initially once i slightly depress the throttle.

i dont know if the harder i accelerate the louder because the exhaust is so loud haha.

 

should i just get a 2nd box or refurb the one i have got?

 

are diff bearings hard to do?
