yes you are right, but i don't know if it worths to change all of them since everybody (almost) who had this issue fix it with the input bearings
I'll ask for a price at Honda and if it is not that much maybe i'll go for it otherwise i prefer to spend the money on other stuff since i started to get used to the sound and it's not getting worse

what the mechanic said? anything bad could have happend if you didn't change them?

A friend had the same sound as mine-the gearbox is blow,he put a new transmision..If something grinds then something is wrong..

[Marxx]

All bearings,all oil seals changed,new Oem diff..and still the same..

[kinky_boy]

Sorry about that man, but at least you know everything is ok in there so you can enjoy with no worries

found out I'm having the same problem with mine,only had it a week 35k 54 facelift but mine does it more in 1st,2nd,3rd if you ease off power without braking,if you dip the clutch it seems to go. I'm right in thinking thrust realease bearing???

Turns out he lives only 1/2 mile away from me(seems top bloke!) I'm taking him for a spin on saturday but he does think after our phone conversation that it is the other bearing and as your car seems to be sounding much the same as mine here's the potential fix...unfortunatley its a box out job and replace all bearings will let you know after sat mate! It may be a niggling sound but if your anything like me I want things to be bob on!! :bigthumb:

Good luck mate! :salut:

keep you posted mate!! bit peed off anyway as I only had it a week :boxing:

I can't see why your all worrying over the gearbox noise? Pretty much all of CTR's I have been in do this when rolling off throttle in gear including mine and the other one that I had. I personally believe that some if not all of that noise you hear is just the small amount of play between the gear's meshing as you roll off the throttle; as soon as you give it some gas the gears have constant pressure on them thus taking up the play and stopping the noise. Thats my idea anyway. The fact that the lad a few posts up has had all his bearings replaced and still has the noise confirms this for me :thumbup:

These cars do make the odd strange noise here and there is what I have come to learn, as long as everything functions as it should and all the gears engage smoothly without crunching then I wouldn't give it a second thought. Just enjoy the car and worry about fixing things when they actually break.

Hope this helps.

One frend had the same sound as mine and the gearbox is broke,because I fear that does not happen to me also..the sound is not normal and need to find the cause,also my friend has a 2002 Ctr with 150.000km and no sound...

Fair enough just telling you my point of view from experience. My car makes this same noise and has done since I brought it nearly 2 years ago. I have done track days and drag days and TBH haven't shown any mercy on the gearbox during these times. The box hasn't missed a beat.

Lastly my box was in pieces only 6 weeks ago at TDi North and they found nothing that was in need of replacing when it was on the bench, and when it was re-assembled it still made the same noise as before it was dis-assembled.

Up to you mate, but you might end up throwing more money at this noise only to find out it just comes back again very shortly afterwards. I understand your concern as your friend had a gearbox go down on him, but I would think he is a minority as there are plenty of others on here with the same noise that have encountered no problems, plus there is no proof that the noise was the reason for the gearbox failure (Or was there )

Let us know how you get on either way bud :thumbup:

Have you changed all bearings in transmision?

[Carlos420uk]

No; what I was saying was that the box was in bits having a diff and clutch fitted, and all the bearings were checked and found to be fine. The car did have a new set of diff bearings on the LSD and also a new clutch release bearing fitted though.

I believe that they are well done job in TDi North,how many miles your CTR has?

[TCW]

Mine also does this. The car has 43k miles and has made the noise from around 25k.

So its nothing to worry about then?

[ste22s]

Mines gone in today to have 4 bearings in the gearbox replaced I replaced oil last weekend and put in some stp gearbox oil treatment but to no avail. Don't know if its just me but it does seem to be getting worse hopefully the new drive bearings should fix it(better had do!!!!)
