annoying noise again

**NVD52K** · 20-10-2011 08:47 PM

hey guys, i have owned my s2000 for few years now and been up and down with common problems that i have fixed, now another noise has come up. whilst driving 1st and 2nd gear has a slight winding like a super charger (not as loud as one) but you can hear it winding up and then 3rd or 4th there is no noise. i never thrash the car always drive it normally i hardly vtec it anywhere these days. could it be needing new bearings or diff,the noise is coming from the rear for sure though. its not as loud but you can hear it.

i would take it to your mechanic/driveline specialist and get them to confirm. ideas people throw up on forums can either help you, or have you chasing your tail forever in a day and by the sound of this one, i would get a professional to confirm

Jack up your car and accelarate to the point where you hear the noise, so that you're sure its your diff and not something else. This would b my first approach.

I'd sell it quick! I hear Alps is in the market.

what do you mean by alps aus?

ALPs is a member here on OzHonda who seems to attract cars with trouble.

anybody here have any similar issue?

I hav a similar noise in first and second below 3k revs. I presume its normal as ive got very low ks on car. And can only hear it then because its clouded by road noise and engine noise once im up to speed in 3rd. I think mines just standard diff noise.
