I recently purchased a 1999 S2000 with 67000 miles. Thanks to people on this forum I have already established that I have a noisy clutch. Anyway, I have been driving the car quite a bit and in doing so have noticed a couple of other things. Firstly, there seems to be a slight whine in both first and second gear on acceleration. Secondly, third gear is notchy when engaging, however, I find that I can smoothly change in to third if I pull the gear stick back to forth a little before engaging third. Is this normal or is my transmission on its way out? Thanks in advance for your input.

I haven't changed any fluids as yet. However, I did get the dealer who sold me the car to check/top-up the transmission oil since hearing this, but it hasn't made any difference. I am planning on doing the fluids, I'm just waiting on the outcome of the clutch replacement(diagnosed in another thread). Noise is on acceleration, nothing on deceleration.

Mine is the same way too. Its a 2005 though. 1st gear sounds a little louder then the rest.I havnt determined yet if thats the way they are normally or if some bearings are going out. I recently purchased my vehicle at 22k miles on it. My second is kinda notchy when cold,but smooths out when warm. Weird thing i noticed though,third gets kinda knotchy when warm,but it shifts fine when cold....

It's still in there and I've not experienced any problems.
