Hey guys, My friend has a 92 CB7 5 spd. In 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and now 4th. it sounds like a pigeon in purrrrrring on accel. What is it? There is no vibration or anything, just the sound. The clutch is new and it still does it.

Check to make sure there's no pigeon under there.
What does a purring pigeon sound like?

Manual trannies do make subtle whining noise on acceleration, your sound could be normal. Take a sound clip for us.Comment

Check the fluid level... or better yet, replace the fluid with fresh Honda MTF.
It could also be the throwout bearing, transmission internals, or even a wheel bearing that's causing this sound. It's hard to diagnose without actually hearing it firsthand.

Those first replies were hillarious, I couldn't breath I was laughing so hard. Anyway, we know its comming from inside the tranny but don't know whats inside. If its an easily replacable bearing or what. I was just thinkin someone else might have had or heard of the same problem. I will try to get a sound clip on but I don't know if my camera will pick it up as it is a subtle sound but enough to piss u off.

sounds like a throwout bearing. i remember doing a clutch job on a member here because he didnt replace the clutch line and the pedal kept dropping which meant it also started to ride the clutch. his throwout bearing prematurely wore out and made that exact whining/whirring sound. the sound will alter when he press the clutch pedal.
im doing a clutch on a old school land cruise FJ40 and he has the same problem, except his sound like a jar full of marbles.Comment

Does it only make the noise when he is moving? What happens if you put the car in neutral and just idle? What about if he presses the clutch to the floor when the car is idling? You should tell your friend to try all these tests and let us know what he finds. This is what I found online:
1. Start your car, set the parking break, and put the car in neutral.
2. With your car idling, listen for a growling noise without pushing the clutch in. If you hear something, it's most likely a problem with the transmission. If you don't hear a noise, proceed to step three.
3. With the car still in neutral, begin to push the clutch and listen for noise. If you hear a chirping noise as you press, it's most likely the clutch release, or throw-out bearing. If you don't hear a noise, proceed to step four.
4. Push the clutch all the way to the floor. If you hear a squealing noise, it's probably the pilot bearing or bushing.Comment

Well I found that on a website. It's just for a "general" clutch. I guess they vary from car to car a little bit but it's just to give you I general idea of what the problem can beOriginally posted by plee3 View PostPilot bearing??? where is that located I just did my trans and I was told our CB7 doesnt require a piolt bearing.Comment

The pilot bearing is in the crankshaft. It's what the input shaft on the tranny slides into. Thanks for the suggs. I will see whats up tonight. I should ask him when he did the clutch if the input shaft was loose, could be those bearings. We are absolutly positive that it's not the pilot bearing, throwout bearing, axles, wheel bearings. Even the certified mech doesn't know. But I'll keep lookin. I'll try ur advice.

I heard that Lucas oil for MTs is even better. Instructions tell you to use it all and top it oaff with a little 10W-30. Did this on my cb7 and it worked wonders, 10x smoother shifting and near-removal of 3rd gear grinding due to a syncro problem in the tranny.Originally posted by deevergote. View Post

Not a bad idea. He has full synthetic in his. Not sure of the brand but it was what was recommended. Shifts like butter just makes a purring sound.
