They're two bearings on the diff, one for the left and right... I'm not saying that this HAS to be your problem, just making sure all ideas on the floor for future reference.

My tranny still shifted fine also, if you wore ear plugs and drove the car by feel you would not know something was terribly wrong w/ the tranny.

 

Damnn if it is the tranny I'm junk this car and never buy a nissan again . Looks like my moms accord never had a single prob

 

Accords are slow, timing belted (until as of recently), unresponsive cars. You will be disappointed, I know I was that's why I own a Maxima.

*peers into your future* Ah I see you in an accord... It's even a 6spd! Very nice! But wait? Oh noes your car can't idle and you have a terrible 3rd gear crunch???

Grass is always greener my friend, dont let something like this steer you away from Maximas.

 

Well yea but at least she don't put all the money in the car that I do . I really hope its not the tranny. , once I get a chance ill check the hug for movement

 

Just went in my car drove it to the parking lot .. turn my steering all the way to left and starting going in circles .. The noise goes away when I press the clutch ..

 

glad u have the problem pinpointed

 

Under heavy acceleration, it's really audible @ 15 seconds



Listen closely and ignore some of the interior rattles, you can kind of hear it, especially in the gymkhana video on right turns.

Luke can you post your Input shaft bearing video in here also? It's a really good clip of another bearing failing/failure that can lead to the diff bearing failing, if my assumption is correct (this is where nealoc comes in and corrects us)

 

this is not my car but a very clear sound of a failed input shaft bearing i also dont know how to embed youtube videos so if anyone can embed this that would be great
