Hi all, Just bought a MY04 Friday having sold my ep3, new to this forum so HELLO! Attachment 97024 Attachment 97025 Attachment 97026 Attachment 97027 Drives great, gearbox is awesome and grips very well but have a couple niggles with it though: There is a whining noise when cars warm when the clutch is engaged and accelerating determines how loud the whining is. Sometimes when changing gear there is a small single knock from under the car.

To add even with car still in neutral when I select a gear it sometimes knocks as the gear engages....

I'm not sure with the above. Someone will know. But nice colour !

Welcome to the forum Childsy.

Nice ride and colour mate.

I can't help you on your problem as I'm new too. But there's a lot long serving s2k members here and very wise with their car knowledge - someone can help you :)

Good luck!

Thankyou!

Hello and welcome,

Just a suggestion but couldn't the whinning be the common "clutch buzz"?

This may not work but try regreasing the gear selector, theres a thread on here somewhere, easy job and well worth it however I doubt will fix the selection noise. I have it also and I kind of like it!

Hopefully you will find the answer you are searching for.

:)

Hello there. Thanks alot.

No problem, cheers.

Whine might be differential (or gearbox). Could try changing the gear & diff oil as a first port of call.

There can be a bit of a thunk from neutral to first very occasionally, that's normal. I've not had it with other gears.

If it's more of a kind of click from the rear, you may need new hub nuts, torqued to the revised (higher) setting.

:iagree: Oils first, the S has a quite notchy gearbox at best, fresh oil usually makes a difference.
