Sounds like the input shaft bearing in your transmission.

Holding in the clutch stops the noise because you are taking "torque" off the input shaft. It is more noticeable in first gear, but over time will become evident in the other gears too.

The sound could also be the release bearing.
You'll have to take out the tranmission to replace the release bearing. Once the tranny is out it takes 2 mins to replace. Then you put the transmission back in and you're done.

So you may want to consider replacing the clutch while the tranny is out, depending on how old yours is, since most of the labor is removing the tranny.

Also dont forget to inspect the flywheel and pilot bearing.

If it is the input shaft bearing, you'll have to take the tranny casing apart to replace it I believe.

A p2p ecu is OBD2 so it won't be of any use for our 92-95 civics.

sometimes people try to save $20 by not replacing the release bearing when doing the clutch.
Release bearing & pilot bearing should always be done while replacing the clutch/flywheel

A P28 will work :thumb:
