What diagnostics did they perform to conclude its the diff. None. They just want you to throw money at it, and theor competency is clearly as questionable as their motives.

Do the easy cheap stuff first. Adjust clutch rod, change fluid. I am betting this improves your shifts by 99%...

Thank you for your feedback, but there is a gear meshing sound coming from the rear that the more you accelerate the louder it gets (at low rpm you can hear it) that is the differential from what i can tell and thats what they told me ,for the transmission problem i'm going to change oil and try it with the new oil installed. Now that i found this new mechanic that is a god on s2000's apparently (he has one at mint condition) i can trust this guy more, i've heard a lot of good things about him.
