Gearbox and engine question

I have a D16A9 and have recently had a second hand gearbox put in, I do drive my car hard but it is starting to whine already.

is this common on these engines and gearboxes

and I am thinking of changin my car to v-tec does anyone know what it would envolve and how much it would cost approx


cheerz lads

:p

Did you replace the throwout bearing on the mainshaft of the gearbox?

Whine ? When the clutch is in, out, all the time, accelerating, shifting what ? I need more info.

i had the same problem. I broke the gearbox and replaced it with the same one.:(

Now i just shift slower than before, it's the only way to keep it ok i guess.:rolleyes:

What kind of oil are you running in your tranny's ?

the best one from SHELL

So is it gear oil, motor oil ? Is it auto or manual ?

motor oil...manual of course:p

I would never put motor oil in a transmission. I always put in something a little heavier like a 90w gear oil, i would say to change that and than see if you still get the whine.

Honda recomends motor oil or of course thier manual transmission oil

It whines when your just accelorating a little bit and its like a whiring in first and second, (the same as the old gearbox), I don't know wot oil they put in it but I would have thought it would be the right stuff coz the garage is pretty good usually.
