I drive a 2000 s2000 and every once and a while my car will make a grinding noise right when I start it, it last maybe 2-3 seconds then ends. It happens most often when I have driven 150 or more miles at one time, could this be my Timing chain tensioners.

Also in 3rd gear when I let off the gas at around 27-31 mph it makes a ton of noise and some vibration, 2nd gear will do the same thing but at a lower speed. Is this normal?

Thanks
