I have just changed the gearbox bearings and oil seals in my 2008 1.4 i-DSi with just over 40,000 miles on the clock. The kit was £113 and contains all 7 bearings and 3 oils seals all OEM. The knocking and whirring noises came from the the bearings at either end of the main shaft.   

  Can you say what bearings were in the car?   
   What make are the new kit bearings?

   Are these boxes built in country of origin or somewhere else?

Could anyone recommend a good independent mechanic in the Warwickshire or West Midlands area that might be able to look at this issue? I have tried a few local garages, but they are either too pricey or not got the expertise to do the gearbox work..

Hi guys i have the annoying noisy 1st 2nd and 3rd gear problem too.. 2003 se sport manual. I was wondering what tge best solution is as iv only just got the car so its over 7 years old and also on 120k miles. Did anyone try any gearbox additive like molyslip to cure the noise and help with noise reduction?

Once the noise has started it's pretty much going to carry on.  I used molyslip in my GD Jazz gearbox from the day I had it and the noise was just starting (but very low volume and only in 1st) when I sold it with around 110K on the clock - First thing I did when I got my Civic was put fresh gearbox oil in with a tube of molyslip added.   I am a great believer in Molyslip - but as a prevention rather than a cure.
Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot

Thank you.  I just cant afford to pay £700 plus for bearing change unless it was a diy job i would of taken an attempt. Also someone mentioned using gl4 transmission fluid would this help?

Seems I've arrived at this too late, but my 2005 1.4 manual has developed a noisy gearbox in lower gears. Bought last year from a main dealer, full service history, 24,000 miles. My first Honda car after 15 years of Toyotas, first main dealer buy. And then at first service they quote me over £900 to fix what I discover is a known problem! That's 20% of the price I paid for it! :o
I contacted Honda and they've agreed to pay the parts, so kudos to them for that. Dealer has offered 10% discount on labour, so it's still over £600 to pay out.
So can someone tell me if I leave it, will it break anything seriously expensive? And what do you think of the dealer's attitude (their slogan is 'Where peace of mind comes as standard'!)
When the dealer gets a TSB, are they required to contact owners, should they be looking out for this at service time? Or do they wait until it's reported?
Any help and advice appreciated- help restore my faith in Hondas! Had several motorbikes and they were great.

They're taking the piss.

I found an indy specialist who said labour was 350 including transmission fluid,  from Honda.

Either way,  I've been driving mine around for 3 months with this fault and no issues.  Apparently you should only be concerned if it is seriously noisy,  I'm just going to live with it.

As an aside,  how long ago did you buy it from the dealer as you may be able to take them on if it was within the last 6 months.

Hi there!
My Honda Jazz 2004 has started to have this noise from gearbox for about 3 days, in all gears except 5th... At the beginning is was not  that big, but today it got quite obvious.
Tomorrow I need to drive 450km to home. Is it ok to drive that distance with this problem?

Thanks

I have exactly the same problem in second gear as described by DV and JazzyB five years ago. In his post, DV has shared some photos which have since expired. Does anyone still have those? They would be very helpful.

So turn up for the books my 09 (Mk2) Ex has the same issue with 60K on the clock. Still under warranty with the dealer so they are putting a reconditioned gearbox in.

It would seem they didn't rectify this issue for the Mk2 (at least not the early Jap built ones)?

Hi,

I was only posting the picture of the actual part I`ve replaced.
I`ll search for the photo on my computer but cannot guarantee I still have them.

That would be great! Or if you could just verify it's the piece from the attached schematic, that would also be very helpful.
