So i recently sold my car to someone and he's saying that there is a transmission problem with the car.. I believe that it isn't a transmission issue what so ever.

It sounds like a wheel bearing issue, but the buyer installed the new wheel bearing that i supplied him with and the sound is still there. The noise only happens when moving and even when you put the clutch in or when it is in neutral. While changing the front brakes I noticed that even if i spin the wheels while the car is in the air it makes a metal on metal noise from the front right of the car. So I thought there was no way that it could be the transmission. He took it to a mechanic that knows nothing about s2000s and said that it was a trans issue and that he's had multiple s2000s come in with the similar issue with around 70k miles on it.

anyways this isn't my video, but an s2000 with a similar sound.

it sounds like the S in the video and it's not a constant sound, but pulses like the one in this video.

 

The noise happens when you spin the right front wheel with car in air?

Sounds like the mechanic could be trying to make some $. If he is such an S2K expert, people here should have heard of him. So who is he?

What, specifically, does he say is the issue in all of these trans he has worked on? What did he fix on all these others he has worked on?

 

Wait, so the trans doesn't drive the front wheels...but it's a trans issue?
