Hello All,
Just an update, had my replacement speakers installed a few days ago. There JVC 3 way coaxial type and there from JVC's DRVN series range. All four were replaced (front and back). What a difference it makes compared to stock speakers! Not really big on massive sub's and amp's etc mind you. Fitting wise rear's went straight in without adapters, fronts needed ring adapters (Vauxhall type, cheap from eBay) and once there fitted in place speaker gets screwed in place, it all depends on chosen speakers mounting depth these speakers had 45.5mm so plenty of room for the window to come down and door card to fit properly again. I did not fit these in myself I got a trusted In Car Entertainment technician to fit them in he also sorted out my after market Sony head-unit as this was not saving my settings when car was off (wires need swapping around).
Bad news now! Went into a trusted transmission specialist and got them to listen to the noise I get when in neutral, but goes away when I press clutch in. Car has been diagnosed with the dreaded input shaft bearing noise. Its driving fine at the moment but this in time will get noisier and fail completely. I'm in two minds at the moment either get this gearbox off and replace bearings etc or the cheaper alternative is to buy a complete second hand gearbox but taking this route could mean it could mess up in the future again (or maybe not!) I'm tempted to go with the 2nd hand gearbox along with a brand new genuine Honda clutch kit. My clutch is slipping too so while this is getting done the gearbox can get fitted too. If I do find a good 2nd hand gearbox hopefully get it all done for next week, and keep you guys posted.
