Thumbs up grinding near rear of transmission when going...

Grinding near rear of transmission when going... over 50 mph.

Ok, so my rear-end blew out about a month ago and a bought a used one off an s2000 forum with about 50k miles on it and replaced it and everything was fine.

Now when I was driving home yesterday I was getting on the highway and drove for a bit going about 60 then I start getting a weird grinding noise which sounds like it is coming from the rear of the transmission, possibly the drive shaft, maybe the rear-end, but it almost doesn't seem like it is that far back.

for now the grinding noise stops, or at least becomes inaudible when you go under 45-50, but after accelerating over 50 the noise sounds really bad.

Any idea what this is? I keep having issues with this car, it kinda sucks.

You might want to check that the bolts on the driveshaft haven't worked loose.
