Ive been helping a friend work on a 2001 s2000 that had a grinding noise. The noise sounds like gears that are not meshing its quite loud. The problem occured while he was doing doughnuts in a parking lot the car had huge 19x12 tires on the rear with all stock parts other wise. after he had finished the car would no longer move and made the noise. Wich sounded like the diff had failed.

We took appart the diff and it was intacked. It was replaced with a comptech diff that was knowing to be working. Started the car and as long as there is no load (ie. on jack stands) on the tires it would go through all the gears. As soon as you put any acceleration to it the grinding came back even on the jack stands.

We then rip the motor out took the tranny off, drained the tranny oil and there was no metal even running a magnet throught it. The clutch was bad. it was bad before he did his doughnuts. When we took it apart the throw out bearing runs out about a 1/8 inch from its highest to lowest points, the whole clutch disc was blue from heat, and the fly wheel was gouged and glazed.

we replaced all the parts and still does the same thing. the noise is less but it is still there. I had notice that the the clutch fluid was black. and the slave cylinder didnt want to bleed and i had to take it off and pump it by hand to get it to work. when i did that it blew a bunch of black gritty fluid back out.

So my qustion is could the tranny had gotten hot enough to cook the oil and cause the slave or master to fail, and would that cause the grinding noise. It is blowing my mind as to what could be wrong with this thing. and help or input would be apprecaited

wow let me get this straight, your idiot friend decided to stun it like a drifter and [freak]ed something on his drivetrain and now you're trying to help him out? first of all you should punch your friend in the face really hard for trying to drift his way to glory on 19"x12" wheels and making you his bitch, having you do the work on the car...

why not try to pinpoint the noise and find the damaged unit as opposed to replace parts you don't even know are damage? you said the car makes the noise while on jacks right? why not put all four corners on jacks and crawl under it with a stethoscope and listen to where the noise is coming from? plus once you get done with the stethoscope you can shove it up your friends *** but being a moron

if you don't got one you can use a piece of hose and make do with that...

 

rofl, 19x12 on stock power? what an idiot. please just let the car alone so he can't drive it anymore and has to sell it.

 

Make sure where the sound coming from, and go from there.

i wish your "friend" would have crashed and lost a ********

 

since your friend is such a baller on his 19 inch rims and can afford to [freak] his **** up, i would say he is baller enough to replace the transmission, slave cylinder, and master cylinder. he already replaced the cutch, flywheel, and differential so he should just go all out. and then he should go do more donuts

 

tell him the accord family is calling his name

 

i agree that this was a epic failure indeeded. the master and the slave im assuming are bad from the oil. the clutch was bad before he started so it needed to be replaced any way. i didnt have a steathscope ill get one and see if can pinpoint the noise. i didnt ask questions the kid kept getting advice from a bunch of rice mechanics and ignored every thing any one with common sense told him.
any other sugestions on the source or the problem

 

my bad for getting you at this post but i was just wondering if you still have the s2k cluster w/ harness etc. to put it in a del sol?sorry again!
