Hey guys, ever since I bought my s2k I have had a loud rattle coming from the back of the car when I accelerate at low revs eg. start from stop in second gear or shift very early, it sounds like it's struggling which it would be at such low revs but I have never gotten a similar sound from any of the other cars I've driven.

Here is the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBuTkGGLeIw&feature=plcp
I start of in second gear, at 5 seconds I shift to third and at 7 seconds I shift to fourth. Obviously I don't shift this early I am just doing so to produce the sound. It gets louder the further I press the throttle down.

Any potential problems or is this normal?
Thanks guys

 

No, that is NOT normal. I would go get it checked out ASAP.

 

Is it clearly from the back? Did you buy it from the dealer? Have you checked the diff fluid?

 

My s2k makes that sound if I accerlate in a higher gear when I'm going like 20-25mph. But it's not that loud as it is in the video.

Do you have the OEM diff mounts?

 

nofearofdanger: I'll take it to the mechanic tomorrow to get it looked at.
ikeyballz: It is definitely from the rear, and I haven't checked the diff fluid, is there anyway of checking it without replacing it because I've seen DIYs on how to change it but not check it.
s2000maniac: As far as I know they are the OEM mounts but I'll have to double check and I don't know why but the sound came out quite exaggerated and louder on the video then in real life
