civic high speed vibration
have a 95 civic cx that at speeds above 40mph or so has a vibration. I changed out the axles three times with new ones, even changed the tranny to a dx. The dx tranny has a lot of miles on it. Is it common for civic tranny input bearings to go bad? If I jack the car up I can move the tranny side of the axle up and down a little. If my tranny is fucked how much for a rebuild? 218-4120

Re: civic high speed vibration
First thing that comes to mind is try getting your wheels balanced. If it was your tranny I would think that it would vibrate at any speed.

civics shouldnt go over 40mph.. doncha know!!
j/k
i wouldnt look at the tranny just yet, i would check into a warped rotor, un balanced tires, bent rims, bent spindles, etc.

its not tires or rims, I jacked the car up and pulled the tires off, and it still did it. I've also replace the rotors. I'm going to try wheel bearings next, I just wanted to see if anyone new how much it would cost to have my tranny rebuilt, just in case it went that far.

Re: civic high speed vibration
Why would you rebuild a tranny like that. It is better to just go and get one from a japanese auto sales depot. They go for around $300canadian here.
