My '01 makes this exact same sound. How involved is replacing the tail bearing (trying to decide if I should attempt) and if I take to a shop, what is a reasonable repair cost?

Thanks!

Can you help me find this DIY, the one without removing the tranny from the car? I think this is exactly the issue I'm having. I'll be throwing it on jacks tonight or tomorrow to isolate the sound.

A couple other threads mentioning this noise/issue have said the cost was around $750-$950 for a shop to do it, I believe. I think the $950 guy replaced 3 different bearings though for that guy so it's probably around $750? Anyways... I'd like to avoid this cost if I can do it myself

Another question: what happens if this bearing "goes bad?" Is it catastrophic to other parts in the vehicle once it breaks? Is the car still drivable but makes a bad noise? Or when it breaks I have to have it towed and just get that 1 part replaced?

Thanks!

Agree. I can't find a DIY doing this while on the car.

41384-PCY-000 SHIM D (68MM) (0.99)
90203-PCY-000 NUT, HEX. (27MM)
90402-PL9-000 WASHER, SPRING (27MM)
91005-PCY-003 BEARING, BALL (31X55X13)
91123-PCY-004 BEARING, TAPER (41X68X20)
91124-PCY-004 BEARING, TAPER (35X68X19)
91201-PCY-003 OIL SEAL (40X60X9)
91301-PCY-003 O-RING (28X2.6)
91302-PCY-003 RING, BACK-UP (28MM)
Honda MTF2 (at least 3 quarts)
Solvent to wash & dry the parts

I will be attempting this repair within the next couple of weekends. Hopefully I'll have the patience for some pics. Depends if the wife gives me the whole afternoon or not.

I've been told that I should order a few shim sizes to adjust the preload correctly. If you don't already own the following tools: mechanical fingers, 10" socket extension or a punch set, standard socket set PLUS a large (up to 36 mm) impact socket set or a bearing race & seal driver set, flange holder wrench, 0-60 in/lbs (NOT ft/lbs) or 0-75 or something close torque wrench for determining preload, liquid gasket, impact gun, pry bar, & a shop press... then you'll either need something close for a workaround, or buy them (and possibly use someone shop press if available since they're pretty much a minimum $130... I figured I'd buy one for future work since I like to learn how to DIY on most car repairs as a hobby).

I'll probably be spending a total of about $550 total on tools and parts to complete this job for the first time. Honda charges $700-$750 to replace the tail shaft bearing alone (not the 2 other bearings on the secondary shaft, included in my parts list).

I'll keep you posted. And just so you know, I listened to your vid - it's exactly the noise I'm having so my results should confirm Billman's diagnosis, which obviously stands on its own anyways.
