Well i have owned a few s2k's in the past and recently picked up a 2000 model.. Everything is great except for but at high RPM's in low gears there is a small vibration/roar underneath the car.. Any suggestions.. car drives perfect tho. just noticeable to me.. thanks for the help

 

is there a sound that goes along with this vibration?

 

there is alot of guys that have had problems with the half shafts causing vibration. i personally just had the same problem but it ended up being a bent wheel got a new wheel fixed the problemo.

i would start by chacking the balance of the wheels and the integrity of the tires before assuming that it may be the half shafts.

just my .02 cents.

 

i am very interested because i JUST bought one yesterday and its having the same problems. let me know. Thanks!

 

torque your axel nuts down to 220ft. lbs. ensure everything is nice and tight and car has a proper alignment and wheels are balanced

 

ITs not the wheels or tires.. they are balanced and good shape.. It only does it when i let off the gas in a low gear and at higher RPM..its vibration and noise yes but not unbarable its just there.. Never does it on acceleration or anything.. whats that half shaft consist of? is that the driveshaft connectors? thanx for input

did u just do the balance??? because just a tiny bit out of spec will get these cars to shake.. tire wear as well....
and ensure that axel nut is torqued down to the 220 specs... they used to be 180 but cause a vibration and a TSB came out to 2220ft lbs

 

Im positive its not from the wheels or tires. the vibration is directly under the shifter..???

 

Clutch disc in 2000 had a tsb with vibration when down shifting.

 

tranny mount?

 

possibly a heat shield rattling?

 

check the shifter bushing and yes 00's had a clutch issue

 

well i just bought the 00 and is there a way to fix the "clutch issue" like put a new one in? and if so wut brand etc etc. im used to B series swaps so im sure i can work on ma s2k ez. Thanks for info let me know i also noticed i smell clutch when i run really hard. im surei ts common, just not used to it on my bseries. Thanks!

replacing the clutch will do away with the issue... if you arent going FI just get a OEM set up cheaper and holds well....

Yes it is. I'm VERY suprised it took so long for someone to tell you it was clutch buzz. There are 50 million threads on this issue. Search is always an option next time.

Shouldn't it be the exhaust drone?
