So the s2000 has 130k on it, and i just had a 4 wheel alignment, and new tires. Clutch has about a year on it, with about 15k,

the sound starts about 20 seconds into driving, then gets very loud. It sounds like a drill bit meant for wood on metal.

facts.
- happens when clutch is in or out
-- however is louder when in gear accel or decell
-- sounds like its from the drive-shaft or back of tranny, can't tell
-- small leak, very small from tranny case, 1 drip a day if that
-- lots of greese found under car, near rear lca, thick, dry greese,
-- car drives fine minus a slight odd feeling when stop to go, like driving over a few ropes, then nothing

I basically need idea's on whats wrong, but i can at least jack it up and drop the tranny if i have some good thoughts/input.

 

hmm, i guess this is a stumper.
s2ki and a local board also didn't have any suggestions as to whats at fualt.
which doesn't look good for me !
lol

short year for racing. =(

 

Post a sound clip or video!

 

is it your camshaft? is it lumpy or grumpy??

seriously, i have no idea - it couldn't be anything to do with the starter could it? i had an old car years ago that did a 'similar' sounding thing and it was something to do with the starter (even though there was no problem when starting the car)

good luck. let us know how you go..

 

alrighty, just got back from my garage, its the throw out bearing.

gonna be pulling the tranny next week, along with a throwing in some ap2 retainers

 

Dam, you must have destroyed that thing! GL with the rebuild...
