first magor problem

playingmilitary · 07-03-2009, 06:12 AM

i have had my s2000 for a little over a year now with no real problem, general stuff like brakes, and a clutch. well a few nights ago i was driving down a local street when i heard a loud bang, the rear end locks up i punch in the clutch and we skid to a stop. cant get it out of 3rd and i limp it home, the next day the clutch seemed to be working but i have no syncroses the car shudders when i take off and it wont down shift till im almost at a complete stop. there is a bunch of gear whine coming from both the gear box and the rear end and my rear end clunks now. this sucks. so im parking the car till i can drop about 1500-2000 on a used low mile trans and rear diff and mabey a new set of axles. oh my trans had 68,749 miles on it.

Seems unlikely that all those things broke together. Noise gets transmitted along the driveline real well.
Sorry for the troubles though.
