Has anyone experienced a kind of a clunking sound when you put the car into any gear from neutral? If im in neutral and then push the clutch in and put the car in any gear, it makes like a light clunking sound. It does it in any gear...but..if i do it slower, like push clutch in, wait 2 sec and put into gear, it doest do it. Is that a normal thing?

 

yeah the s2000 does that. Not horrible noise but i actually like the feel of it getting into gear. The rsx feels numb compared to it. also, did you get the owner's manual from your other thread i got for ya?

 

What thread was that brother?

 

oh snap, could have possibly been someone else lol. I just remember you had a bunch of threads so I assumed it was you haha. My fault

 

common sound for an S to make. can get better once she's all warmed up..

 

she? wtf? my car's a chick now..

 

well don't tell me you riding a man.. Yes the S is always a she. :D

 

and if your wondering, the vagina hole is on the front bumper, where that little cover is on the passanger side. they were gonna leave it open, but they decided at the last minute to cover it up so no one got offended

 

Mine does it

 

have the same problem i thought my motor mounts were broken

 

its the rear end. both of my s2000's do it

 

Yeah... the car even slightly moves a little...but if you put it in gear slow it doesnt do it. Why does it do it in the first place?

 

BS, mine has a "stick" so it's male... and it makes the same clunking sound, too.

 

i read somewhere that it's the differential. if you hold your clutch a little longer before putting it into 1st, it doesn't happen.

 

Yeah exactly...Huh..weird.

 

So is that an indication of something bound to happen, or is it completely normal?

 

Nah it's normal. no worries. Just make sure you are up to date on the fluids. I usually change my tranny and diff every 15000

 

My car did this clunking sound like that when I push the clutch in it clicks idk its wired. Uumm mite be that clutch it wrong its not the gear right.
Do u have a short shifter?
Is it stock clutch?

 

All stock

 

i think its the tranny.mine does it too,i actually like the sound of it.

 

wrong.

 

Its not the gear.4 sure sorry.
I called import auto pros when I had my problem.they said its the clutch it don't grab the gear.
My tranny was hydro.so yea.
I think u should put a stage 2 clutch mybe that mite work. But u ant wasting money thought ur car will pull fast!
Try it.
Douse it click if u push it all the way down?

 

Its just a slight clunk when you do it kinda quick..if you press the clutch in and wait 3 sec it doesnt do it

 

Another thing too is you really have to let the fluid warm up to get the best shifts. In the morning when I start the car i usually let it run about 5 min and when i shift into 2nd there is always a slight grind until its completely warm. Im not sure why..none of my other cars did that. Im having all my fluids changed anyway (tranny, diff) just because i dont know what the previous owner did to the car maintenance wise...eventually down the line, im gonna do the gm syncromesh..i heard a lot good about it. Anyone do the syncromesh yet? How do you like it?
