When I take off with the car, but I release the clutch too much kind of like when it almost stalls, the gearbox shakes really hard and its like burrrrr sound. is this the same problem?
also the gearbox gets really hot when driving, and you can feel it under the center console is that normal too? :P

that burr sound is on any manual car when you do that lol.
Its like going up a hill in too high of a gear, same deal.

It's a common issue and there is a service bulletin about it.

You need you axle nuts retorqued. 280ftlbs should do it.

Doing mine tomorrow.

yea I know it's normal on manual car, and coming from a front wheel it wasnt this bad lol gearknob shakes like crazy!
but is it normal to feel the heat of the gearbox?

mate if its lick a click click when u take of or when u reverse i had the same prob in my s2k, just got the cv's swapped around its all stopped now. dose your car shake a bit aswell? also could be the rear axell nut.

if not just go to a mechanic who knows s2k's and he will get straight to it no point in guessing.

yeh no shaking, i never got the chance to work on any S2K's when i worked for honda, still got plenty of mates from there though, i just hate asking for them to take a look.
off to garry and warren smiths she goes

service is nearly due any way ill get that done aswell.

Sounds like Rear Axle Pop, it's common in S2000's 2003 and earlier. The axle needs to be lubed up and nut tighten to 220 tq/nm from memory search and you should find.

F### me , it scares me when i read some of the responses on here . People who dont even drive S2000's chiming in with such problems as busted diffs / CV's / Gear box / rear axles /replace diff fluids ???? / bleed the clutch fluids ???? are you serious ???? etc .

mate your better off going onto s2ki and posting in "under the hood" forum . You will get detailed and more importantly correct answers to your questions in detail .

ive had this EXACT same problem on my 99 S2k , and its a simple fix , no need to fck around , just do what Weezer recommeded

tighten your rear axel nut. the 36mm one. i had the exact same noise and that got rid of it

and the clicking will be gone.

^^ Vuey......you know your shit dude, are you a mechanic??? maybe i could get you to just look over my s2k and let me know what any issues are

**ILUS1V** · 21-01-2008 10:55 AM

lolz Vuey does know what he's talking bout.
problem has been solved, a lil bit of time with some old mates from honda, a 36 mm socket my old rattle gun and it was all fixed in 5 mins.
i think i would know a gearbox noise, but you can never rule out worst case scenario.
thanks guys it made diag alot easier, in my time working for honda i was never fortunate enough to work on an S2k so im not really fully aware of "issues" they get.
