How to know if input shaft bearing is going?
I've had the same in-gear coasting noise since I got this transmission. It's an 06 si 6 speed in an RSX case. I just assumed the transmissions for the k-series were a little loud, since I remember the 5 speed from the EP3 being a little loud in gear and coasting as well. Anyway, I don't hear a noise idling with the clutch in or out, I only hear a sort of soft noise, sort of like a deep "sssshhhh" noise if I had to describe it. Google search always says "Input shaft bearing grinding" but I wouldn't say it sounds like grinding.
It only happens when in gear, and only really noticeable in 3-5th gear. It is loudest when I'm completely off throttle and coasting, loudest in 5th gear. I'd only notice it if the radio is completely off. I tried to record a video, but the audio sucks.
