93SE 5spd-From 0 to about 15mph there is a rolling noise on the left side. Axles were replaced two weeks ago. Although they were bad, that wasn't the source of the noise. It's not a squeal or howl like a wheel bearing. Sounds more like a card in a bicycle wheel. Consistent noise progressing with engine speed until it is inaudible at about 20 mph. Do these trannys have a long life expectancy? 150k on this one

 

Oh, sounds like the tranny input shaft bearing.

 

Put it up in the air, rotated the driver tire back and forth and felt, what I thought, a little too much play in the trans. Is that input bearing a minumental task? Can it be replaced with the trans in the car?

 

I had my right drive shaft replaced a while back and I notice a wierd, faint sound and slight vibration under heavy acceleration afterwards also. I can't really explain it. I took it back to the mechanic and he didn't notice it at all. Nobody else noticed either but, I did. I never figured out what it was and it slowly went away.
