Front wheels you say passenger side stop good but driver isn't. You have bad capilar and possible brake rubber hose block brake fluid to capilar.
Thanks for reading, but maybe post #15 was not clear enough. In the test, the passenger side wheel stopped without braking, just freewheeling while the front end of the car sat on jack stands, rolling to a stop in neutral with the engine off starting at 30mph. Braking works normally. And the noise while driving does not seem to be the transmission, because it's not rpm-dependent. So it seems like it's in the half-axle assemblies somewhere, and the best suspect being the inboard or outboard "CV" joints on the passenger side. No?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
