I haven't found out what bearing it is .... I'm assuming one in te tranny itself since that is what dies ..... I never had any driving problems until the last week that I owned the car ..... Since I've been searching for the actual problem, I've learned that Honda's trannies have taken a huge dive in quality from the 6th gen Accord 4AT to the CL's 5AT to the Accord's 6MT, etc. IMO, and in the opinion of a friend that is a Honda Service Manager, Honda is living on their reputation of old and is no longer producing the quality of product that people buy them for.
