i have an 01 s2000 and everytime i step on the gas the whole car shakes. it shakes even more when i hit vtec. ive read the service bulletin about this and it states that the problem may be the cv joint being blown. i was wondering if anyone has had this problem and how much did it cost to fix it. also, is it safe to drive because honestly, it feels like im gonna lose traction and fly off the road

heres the link to the service bulletin

LOL! thats what my homies said. im hella pissed right now, i didnt even have the car for a month yet and this is happening. i got it checked out at a nissan dealership, where i got it from and they have no idea whats wrong! so theyre gonna take it to honda next week. i hope i dont have to pay for any of this.

its not too bad when i accelerate, but when vtec hits it shakes even more. but when i let go the gas, its all good

 

i doubt you have to pay for it... since you just picked it up from the nissan dealer, i'm sure they gave you some type of warranty

 

If it isnt the cv joint, get the tires checked to see if they are properly balanced.

 

i have a 30 day warranty so i hope everything will be okay. ill check out the tires too and see if they are balanced correctly.

 

tire problems will be ALL times not just on acceleration.

i assure you it is not a tire.

becks

 

prop shaft maybe?

how many miles are on the car?

looks like you should go check out what that sound is huh ?? hehehehe

 

wow that doesn't sound so good therebuddy... so anyways i go to this tech school...and i was pretty bored... so all i did was just chill right next to a comp act like i was researching about a couple of cars.... and came across my friends car and i remember him saying he had a problem and he was hella trippen off of it!... anyways story short. honda 2001 s2000.

rear vibration under acceleration.

symtoms
when accelerating at any sped above 30 mph, a vibration can be felt through the seats from the rear of the car. if you lift ur foot off the throttle or decelerate. there is no vibration.

probable cause
the cv joint housing is damaged

corrective action
replace both inboard cv joints.

and it said that it is covered underwarranty. so hopefully u should be coo!

 

cv joints hard to replace yourself?
