Hi all!!!
I really need the help of this forum this forums is the reason i bought my insight (2001 manual 106k) but unfortunately the insight i bought has this weird "whirling" noise while accelerating, it seems to charge fine, and accelerate fine but under any manner of acceleration in any gear it has this weird noise...and it is very concerning as it seems to be getting louder. This insight was a single owner clean car fax all maintenance was done at the local Honda dealer up until i bought it. the sound is coming from the driver side behind the firewall, there is no whining noises there is no weird noises at idle, there is no strange noises while revving in in gear with clutch in or in neutral, the sound does no occur when in reverse the noise only happens while starting and going through the rpm range in any gears it is super loudunder 3k rpms.
here is a link to somone else that had a sound very similar.
i cant post a link but if you youtube "insight gearbox noise" its the first video that shows up that is 1:03 long.
Thank you for any help! I really need it this is my first insight and i LOVE the car but the sound is very concerning as it sounds like a RC car when its taking off and im hoping the electric motor isnt failing...it did have a P1568 and P1576 when i got it but i cleared the codes and have driven over 300mi and they have not come back.:???:
