Loud Engine Noise

TheCryofMankind · 07-27-2003, 01:29 PM

When letting off the gas in my 2001 S2000, there is a loud sound that is coming from the car. I can not tell if it is the transmision, engine or exhaust - but it is almost unbearable with the top up. It is at its worst in 3rd or 4th gear. Any idea if this is normal? I just purchased it, so I am not sure if it is a defect in my car or just part of the car in general. If it is normal, any way to reduce it the noise? And if its not normal, any idea what could be wrong? Thank you for any help in this matter.

In the 2000 models and early 2001's, there have been issues with a clutch buzz on decel, and it is addressed by Honda in either TSB 54 or TSB 55, I can't remember which one (TSB=Technical Service Bulletin). If your car is still under warranty, take it to your dealer, demonstrate the noise, and they should cover the parts swap and labor under warranty.
