Hey guys, i have a problem with my gearbox

its when i back off the accelerator, i can hear a loud buzz/grinding etc noise coming from the gearbox. i've been told its a bearing, not sure which 1 though.

if somebody has had similar problems (i've read abt ppl having problems in neutral etc) pls let me know how u've solved it.

cheers!

p.s i drive a 99 model

 

Could it be the dreaded clutch buzz?

 

A Buzzz... buzzzzz while decellerating in 3rd or 4th gear @ 3500 - 3000 rpm?

And still on the original clutch?
Impressive.

 

Take a look at your VIN. Is the number before the "T" 1999 or 2000? Technical service bulletin (TSB) 00-054 covers a deceleration buzz as you describe (and other board members are noting).It is very common on the 2000 and early 2001's. If you have a buzz when decelerating from 4K to 3K you may have this issue. Honda did not provide a specific VIN range for this issue. Do a search on TSB 00-054 and you can probably get a copy here somewhere.

Ok so I got back from a Honda Dealer, i was getting new pcv valve for my prelude and I asked them about TSB. They told me my car is not covered for the reason off this is only for cars that have warranty on them. Well that blows. I will stop by another dealer just to make sure!

 

Your '00 is 6 years old!

 

7 to be exact, and still have 12990 miles on it
