I purchased my 2001 s2k on the 11th haven't even put 225 miles on it and i noticed a possible grinding going from 1st-2nd earlier and just confirmed it going around the block a cpl times, car only has 35k on it and bought it from a reputable dealer that specialize in preformance cars....i'm wondering if this would fall under lemon law or something like that.

if you're under warranty, take it back to the dealership.

Ha! Here come the honda fanboys to defend the car. Bet they will blame you or the previous owner as Hondas NEVER have problems. That transmission could never fail unless the driver did something wrong. No faulty parts there....

hmm... ever since my friend got his S2000 last year I noticed the transmission wasn't very smooth. Very CRUNCHY. MD Auto/Jackson Racing said it was normal. I don't suppose your trans problem is just how the trans was designed?

Ultimately all cars have problems. Hondas have been known for slick gearboxes, but that doesn't mean they'll always win.

And the early S2000's are known for blown synchro's in the low gears.

His car isn't under warranty either, Honda's generous 3yr/36,000 mile warranty expired some time ago for an '01.

It seems to me that http://www.s2ki.com/forums/ would be a better resource than www.newcelica.org.

Well, it's kinda the truth. Even the Celica's transmission could last a really long time if it wasn't abused, but people insist on ramming the shifter into gear to stay in lift. And of course, it leads to premature synchro wear and eventuall grinding, which is just what happened to those S2Ks.

BUT IT'S SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only do a 1st - 2nd - 3rd Lift shifts like once a month, so I guess that isn't too bad. Good luck with your s2000.
