I will stick with the short version of the story, in the past two weeks i have noticed a whiney/wurring noise from the drive train on my car. It increases in volume as you go faster, doesnt go away when you dip the clutch, brake or load up any of the corners.

Today i took the car to TGM, Tom had it up on the ramps and run the car whilst in the air. It was pretty obvious it was coming from the back of the gearbox (near the prop, turret area).

He suggested simply buying a second hand box and swapping it over, i wanted to cover all the options as obviously a second hand box is an unknown quantity.

Has anyone had any experience with having their S2000 gearbox rebuilt or can recommend anywhere in the Oxfordshire / south east who could help?

Cheers!

Just had a read of squeaks thread, the garage who did her gearbox isn't too far from me, will give them a try. Thanks!

If I had the time and the space I would consider looking at it myself. It's my daily so makes things a bit more tricky.

I'm still searching for a decent price / low mileage / correct MY box but they are hard to come by. Do you know if they are the same throughout the production? I know in the US the AP1/AP2 were different internally.
