Transmission / Clutch noise [1996 honda civic]

My 1996 Honda Civic CX [USDM] is making a loud rattling/grindy noise when the clutch pedal is not pressed down. When I pressed the clutch pedal all the way down, the noise goes away. I don't know if it's the throwout bearing, input shaft, or whatever. Can you guys help me identify what is making the noise and how I can fix it? Thanks. The engine is a D16Y7 [100% stock]

hey umm i got the same fucken problem with my 1996 hx do i have to change the clutch or just that bearing???

@1996ej7 . U don't change the clutch. If u have the EXACT same thing my car HAD, then the clutch has nothing to do with it. You have to change the INPUT SHAFT BEARING in the transmission requiring u to take the transmission apart. I know, it's sad but I spent 35 hours doing it. I put back the transmission 3 times because the first 2 times the car didn't start and I lost 5th and Reverse Gear. 3rd time was the charm though.

how much would this cost if you took it to a mechanic? mine makes noise when in neutral and when i press the clutch the noise goes away, and i hear terrible noise when accelerating. 99 civic hatch

@kpbrian79 I'm just guessing but it might cost about roughly $500? The bearing itself was around $100 I think. But yeah, u have the exact same problem I had.

i have the same problem with my honda civic 1996 LX 4DR... Manual Transmission.

some of my friends say its the ball bearing? i wanna make sure. cause im not sure how to replace?

help any info helps, thanks! also power windows dont work (ive checked all fuses)

@TheNzzr Okay, if u have the EXACT problem I have in this video, then u have a INPUT SHAFT BEARING problem and that bearing needs to be replaced if you want to get rid of that hideous noise. For your window problem, it might be the window REGULATOR. I'm not sure though but it might be. I don't have power windows thats why.

@robertlee8181 It's the Input Shaft Bearing that's the problem in the video. I googled D16Y7 input shaft bearing and there was this one top website that was so so so detailed in explaining to how replace it

[robertlee8181]

I have the same problem glad I found this video any advice on how to go about for repair?

@kristingrueter I did EVERYTHING by myself. It took me 35 hours to do it. I took the transmission in and out 3 times! The first two times the transmission didn't work properly cuz like it didn't let me go into 5th and Reverse gears. 2nd time the fly wheel was jammed by a transmission fat bolt so I had to make a custom bolt for it and 3rd time was the chard.
