I have a 2001 S and recently it has been grinding and having a hard time getting into gear. It also does this weird thing, only in first gear, when you come to a stop with the clutch in and in first gear the car make a jerking movement and make a grinding noise in the center. Has anyone had to have their synchros replaced? Has Anyone heard this in their S2000? I really don't think it is the clutch, but it could be a related part like the throwout bearing or hydraulic system... Not sure though. Also, can the shift linkage be adjusted, and this has possibly moved? Thank you for any advice. I will be taking it to the dealer soon, but thought i would hear from someone who had similar problems. Thanks again.
