Hi all, just got my gearbox rebuilt after it was whinning in every gear and neutral, got it back friday night (£943)....just been out for the first ride after being away for the weekend and it catches/grinds the 3rd to 4th gear change 80% of the time.

Can the clutch be adjusted to take care of that or whoudl it be a syncromesh probem ? or a standard 'character' of this type of gearbox ?
I know i can phone the gearbox place back up but wanted your views...

Secondly...

I still get a hollow/booming sound from the rear when i say stay at a same constant speed, could it still be the diff ? the gearbox is silent. I have replaced the diff with a 2nd hand unit, but i'm thinking of getting the diff reconned too....next year when i have the 'spare' cash if there is such a thing.....could the prop shaft be causing this issue ?

Thanks for any help...Jorge if you out there i'll bell you to see if your know !

Thanks all.

 

After paying 1000 for a rebuild i wouldnt be accepting that!

 

Take it back. Don't worry yourself with what it might be...they will have to sort it out for you.

As for the booming...blowing exhaust?

 

TBH i think it's more to do with the diff that the box but i'll bell them Monday and see what they say.

 

If it 'catches/grinds' from 3rd to 4th, it won't be the diff...it'll be the gearbox.

 

What oil did they/you put in it? Ask then to try the Honda MTF fluid.. It's pretty good stuff. There are lots of other very good oils too.. They may have just filled it up with shite stuff,when your shifting from 3rd to 4th your moving relatively quickly so i'd imagine things are spinning quite fast in the box then.

 

"TBH i think it's more to do with the diff that the box but i'll bell them Monday and see what they say. "

The booming/droning noise i meant not the gearbox grind from 3rd to 4th...

 

Could the drone be wheel bearings or worn bushes? Mine drones a bit, and I'm sure that it has slowly been getting worse. A couple to check.

 

Is the droning clutch buzz?

How many other S2000's have you cmpared these noises to?

 

Take it back.
