Hey all,

I've got a '00 s2000 with 86000 Km's on the dial. Drives well except for a whirring sound that comes from the front (axel/wheel bearings/somehwere). The sound first starts when I go forwards, from about 5hm/h upwards. It isn't RPM related, only occurs when the car is moving. It starts as a bit of a grinding sound, but as I go faster, turns into more of a whirring sound.

The previous owner had this same problem, and had the wheel bearing replaced. I believe this didn't do anything to the sound. Before buying the car, I had an RACQ mechanical done on the car, and it came up fine.

Has anyone come across this before?

TIA,

Casey

 

Quick bump.

I'm heading home now, so I won't be able to reply until tomorrow
(stupid internet's down at home )

 

One more bump before I let it die.

Would really appreciate some advice

 

it's probably the normal clutch whine.

 

Okay, it's gone into my dealership and they're saying it's the tranny. They need to pull it apart to see what's causing it
