Default this is enough.

Ok. i got an s2000 at the saturn dealer, they wrote me a fix it ticket for the transmission( it grinds alil goin into 2nd and 3rd, thats the least of my worries) Ive been taking my mom to work lately and she lives out in plant city, so when i go back to tampa it vibrates around 70-80ish, i thought it was the rear left tire, i replaced it, that wasnt it! still fucking shakes, shifter still shakes like a fucking scared chiuahua. If i let it coast its fine but when i apply the accelerator it pulls immidiately to the right all the time. AND, when i go forward or reverse, it POPs when i start to move, the sound is coming from the rear end..

what the hell is all this shit, and why does these problems keep following me when i change vehicles!!!?!?!?!

that sucks bro. I would take it to Honda and get a writeup of what it needs and how much it will cost, and take it to saturn.

If you have an extended warranty honda should cover it. We(hondaland) had an evo with some issue's and mitsubishi covered it becuase it was under an extended warranty

in order to get a write up does it cost anything? would i have to grab the shop manager and drive around to show him the flaws?

Notchy 2nd and 3rd is a s2k "feature" not anything that will likely get fixed by Honda's warranty. Go to Forums and search

Bought mine with 5k miles as second owner and its already shifting like that. But I'm pretty sure its just the triple syncros on 2 and 3... not grinding. The tranny oil looked perfect when I changed it. (which did help a little BTW)
