I wonder if those axle shafts were cast in China.

so today i noticed when i shut off the car it dies differently like there is something wrong... you do some work on the car you'll notice if something acts a bit different...
right after i shut it off i could hear like there was a little air leak somewhere so i start checking where is it coming from and its coming from the oil dip stick... looks like PCV valve is clogged or broken.
Has anyone ever replace their valve ? not sure where is it located right now... should i get new one or just clean it and put it back ?
ok i think i forgot what it was PCV valve but now i know and it doesnt seem to be clogged...

StreetKA, when you had the intermediate half shaft assembly out of your car recently, did the shaft as it enters the bearing housing have any play/slack to it?
I replaced the half shaft (it was the original OEM w/131K) on my car yesterday and it had a sh*t load of rotational play to it. This occurred when holding the bearing housing against a flat surface and then performing a circular movement of the shaft without actually turning it in the bearing housing.
Compared to the new one, the old one was really bad. It (the play) was not noticeable while on the car because of the fixed shaft mounting in the tranny and to the block. However, when it was removed it was significant.

OK, thanks, I was just wondering.
Hopefully it is not piston rings.
IMHO, If you replace the PCV, go OEM over aftermarket for best results.

And definitely go OEM on the valve, they dont cost a whole lot.

Anyways, purchase the whole assembly P# 44500-S87-A00 rather than messing with replacing the bearing, it's alot simpler. The part # is the same for the 98-02 V6 Accord, so you can save a few bucks getting it from Honda over Acura.

Any luck with the problem you are running into?
You can hear air pressure releasing from the oil dip stick tube at engine shutoff?
Is it enough pressure to actually push the fully inserted oil dip stick up and out of the oil level pipe?

I understand.
BTW, talking about annoying sounds, when you had your tranny rebuilt, did it or the carrier bearings make any noises out of the ordinary that alerted you to them being worn while driving the car?
Thanks.

Yea, mine are vibrating too. I was going to replace them again last weekend but decided to just hold out for the DSS axles.

So finally i found the time to fix the tranny leak.
It was leaking from behind the tranny mount bracket. The cap was leaking
So i ordered new oring for this cap and once i got it i decided to go ahead and replace it.
What i found out is that we do have an oil filter in 6mt tranny which is located behind that cap
So i took the cap a closer look, removed the oring which looked fine to see this.
There was like hair line crack all around the oring which was the reason why i was leaking oil. I have freaking idea how did it broke... I can speculate about it but personaly i never touched that and to my knowledge no one did.
Luckily i still have a spare tranny in my garage so i could use the cap from it and i will order new cap probably today. I just cant imagine how could this thing crack like this.
Anyway no more leaks and everything is fine.

Interesting find StreetKA. That's the first time on this forum that I can say I have seen that part.
In the Helms' exploded view-transmission housing diagram, the manual has that part labeled as 'Oil Pump Strainer'. In this case the 'oil' is the tranny fluid.
Flange bolt
Strainer cover
O-ring
Strainer set spring
