My tranny is now making a crazy noise, I originally thought it could be my throw-out bearing but the noise is not present when I depress the clutch.
I recently took my Civic to my mechanic for a re-build due to the rapid rise of the gas prices,instead of getting a B18 powerplant like I wanted. I had my mechanic replace the head gasket/Timing Belt/Water Pump/Valve Job/ Cam Seals/Crank Seals and Piston Rings so things should be good for another 90K.
I was told by my mechanic that it is likely the transmission bearing making the noise and he quoted me $750 to get it repaired is this a reasonable price?

Oh by the way my Civic just hit 200K and I snapped a photo from my phone to document it. LOL

id just pick up a new tranny for like 100-200 bucks and just install that. might be cheaper

yea just find another tranny.. transmission work can get real expensive.. i know its weird but thats how the cookie crumbles

yeah you might be better off just buying a new/er tranny, i ordered a tranny from a company out of the thrifty nickel for $500 with a good warranty, you might try them

If you lived in florida I'd sell you mine with a 30-day guarantee

A buddy of mine recommended trying some Red-Line transmission fluid he swears by the stuff. Do you think this will offer some temporary relief by quieting down the tranny?

i had an older civic with the same problem....tried the redline, tried royal purple.... no luck....so eventually i just bought a new tranny... this was for a crx.. so it was only like 150bucks sure it would be more for an ej8

Its your input shaft bearing (ISB) if it goes away when you press the clutch in. The bearing is cheap but if you don't have a spare tranny to slap on while you do the work I wouldn't suggest doing it.
