Re: '89 Accord, No warning signs... now, suddenly, no Fwd or Rev. only loud grinding noise HELP!?
dont mind that last post, it must be hard hating oneself all the time - so
he's taking out his aggression in the forum I'd have to say it is probably the differential gears, since it finally broke on a sharp turn as you've mentionned, that would explain the grinding too. The reasons you dont have any CEL codes lit is because the drive shafts and differential do not have sensors that can trigger the odb/odb2 warning codes, at least not to my knowledge. From what it seems, you're faced with a costly repair.. maybe even too costly for an 89 car. Sorry bud. By the way I have some questions on this topic as well, to Curly/Andew/similarly knowledgeable ppl. Before retard_hater blasts me away with his replies, I'd like to know how hard is a front differential replacement? Is it doable by a beginner mechanic? Is it fairly safe to try to do it, or can I easily screw up to a point of no return? We would be 2 ppl to try to do it, both with very limited knowledge of car mechanics. I'm asking because a friend of mine is having similar problems to the ones mentionned in this post.

Just put the front end on a pair of jackstands and take the wheels off (for visibility). Start the engine and put it into gear. You should be able to differentiate driveshaft and/or hub problems from internal trans problems. Don't bother trying to replace the diff: get a guaranteed used transaxle from a boneyard. Just had a thought (imagine that??!!) It could also be that the clutch disintegrated. I replaced one about 9 months ago in an old Acura where the damper springs all fell out of the clutch disc and made some pretty horrible noises...also, the car barely moved. |
