I just had a chat with my buddy at honda (very reputable meachanic also) and was telling me that some trannies had gear popping problems.2nd and 4th. have any of you experienced this before?

 

no

 

anyone actually have an experienced response?
effing noobs

 

not me either... but someone was askin bout this not too long ago sayin his was poppin outta 2nd gear, idk the topic name tho

 

There is one huge problem that s2k transmissions have and that is


THE DRIVER

 

@ 32k (my00), my tranny is phenomenal.

 

Ive heard of a few 00-01's that have had problems with the car popping out of 5th. My g/f had hers replaced at about 50k with the problem. I drove one that had this problem to.

The other problem I heard with the car is the 2nd gear grind, this happens to all years. I dont think anyone has found a problem with the trans for this, but it seems to happen to everyone once in a while.

 

Yes, I am experiencing a couple fo problems with my '01 that actually have TSB's.

4th gear popping out of gear - very intermittently

Buzzing on deceleration

Neither are that big of a deal to me, but can be annoying.

2nd gear grind seems to be on all yrs and honda has yet to figure out why.

they are a couple TSB's out on other things though. check out http://www.s2ki.com for the tsb list

 

^ that is an issue. its not supposed to just pop out of gear

I have been at a battle with honda over this last week. They do not want to cover this under my honda certified warranty which is bumper to bumper.

The girl Is aware and agrees with me but she says I would have to call american honda and get a "goodwill consideration"

The TSB from what I have printed came from mitchell ondemand at work, but they say its the clutch disc which is causeing the problem on deceleration. But since the clutch is considered a wearable part it is not covered.

Well I think It should be covered, the clutch is indeed a wearable part, however , my clutch is not worn out and pulls damn good, But its a design flaw that is the culprit for my problem.


I also have heard of the 2nd gear popout, and they had to replace one at work once for that.

I am not experienceing this myself, I am getting a slight 3rd gear Upshift grind. Which is out of the normal Complaints.

She told me that is covered, once they look at it and deside If i but a good clutch or something with more bite she can have them put it in for me while the trans is out.

 

more bitching and going higher should help

 

damn it my 2nd gear grinds everynow n then i thought it was me at first but its not n i know for sure now i paid close attention today clutch was fully in n grinded makes me sad soo sad i have a 2000 also i was riding 1st out....im gonna change my tranny fuild

 

I heard there was a recall on some of the '00 transmissions. One mechanic told me to check with honda.

 

there were tsb's. no recalls that i know of

 

I am elated I found all of you who have issues with your transmissions. I have a 2001 S2000 and have been complaining before my 36k warranty ran out...unfortunately I am at 45k and Honda has consistently refused to acknowledge any problem. My mechanic also insists there is an issue.

If anyone can help me with obtaining TSB's on transmission issues - I will fight this battle !! My mechanic told me Honda should be liable to repair this as this is an ongoing problem. Any help is appreciated!!!

Also beware of a clutch problem - forgive me because I am not technical - but there is a part of the clutch that is supposed to be either made of non-corrosive material or lubricated when manufactured and it was neither. I believe my mechanic said it was the spline ..or something like that which rusted. Sorry!! It was only discovered when he pulled the clutch to check the transmission (out of warranty of course). I am still trying to tackle with American Honda on reimbursement of replacing my whole clutch!! It should have lasted much longer!!!
(and no it's not The Driver!!!)
