Does all year 2000 have the gear problem??
Hey guys,
I am looking to buy a S2000, year 2000 at 9k Miles for $26.5k in southern california. I have heard that the year 2000 has a gear problem. Something with the 2nd and 3rd gear not synchronized (not sure of the terminology). Does this happen to all the year 2000 cars? I ask the owner of the car and he said he was not awared of it. The car still have about one year left on the warranty or 26k miles. Should I consider buying it?? Please let me know. The color of the car is red.
Thanks.
Tony

Do a search you'll find a lot of good answer to your queastions. Mine do have the problem but i have an appointment next week to make it repair on the warranty. I heard that honda have put a tripple cone synchroniser on the second gear (instead a double)for the year 2001 but i'm not sure if when they repair it they modify that or they simply replace the synchronisers !!!

Drive it! It takes about 15 - 20 minutes for the transmission to warm up. After warm up you should be able to tell whether it's a good or notchy tranny. There are a few who have had problems but, I think most of us are happy with our transmissions. I changed my transmission fluid to RedLines' synthetic transmission oil at 6,500 miles, MT-90. What a difference it made, faster and smoother shifts. Always let everything warm up before driving hard. I have a 2001 with 7,800 miles on it.
