Transmission input shaft bearing failure. No significant event lead up to the failure. I have not had it repaired. The mechanic said it is $3500 to rebuild. Is a daily problem. Never goes away. A mechanic at Honda told me it is the input shaft bearing and I need a new transmission. He said this is common with Honda from mid 1990's to 2004. He said it was bound to happen regardless of maintenance & good driving. Harsh grinding noise when driving car or car is idling. Noise stops when clutch is engaged. Difficult at times to put into gear. I have to ease it into gear at times. I fear for my life for when the bearing completely fails and the transmissions falls apart. If I am driving with other cars behind me, I may be ran into when my car comes to a stop. I am afraid to leave town in my car. I get anxiety every time I drive it.
The contact owns a 2004 Honda Civic. The contact stated that when shifting into reverse, the transmission made a grinding noise. Transmission failure increased the risk of a vehicle crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a technician replaced various components in the transmission; however, after the failure resurfaced. The failure mileage was 12000 and the current mileage was 71000.
On my Honda Civic ex model with the manual drivetrain, the drivetrain will make a grinding noise, while shifting into 3rd gear at 4000 RPM's or higher. I brought my car back to the dealer and it was fixed, now 8,000 miles later, I'm having a reacurring problem.
