Buzzing when letting of the gas.

[TJ213]

Does anyone else get buzzing sometimes when letting off of the gas. I had this happen to me a lot when I started driving, 3rd gear aroung 30 mph

I don't get it as much anymore because I drive faster

anyways, this origionally came from the garage comments for alienhonda

Alienhonda: I get vibrations after letting up on gas in lower gears. Normal?

[00-054] Buzzing From the Engine or Transmission While Decelerating

While decelerating in 3rd or 2nd gear, a buzzing or rattling comes from the engine or transmission between 4,000 and 3,000 rpm. This noise sounds similar to a heat shield rattle, and it goes away if you press lightly on the accelerator pedal or disengage the clutch.

Applies to: 2000–01 S2000 – ALL

btw, I'm not sure if I have that rattle, just a vibration and a strange exhaust note, and the s2k I drive is an '05


also, please post in the forum for questions, it was sheer luck that I came across your member comment, usually most people don't find things that aren't in the forum, I just saw your s2k picture in the top bar and happened to click on it

30 MPh is to low for 3rd gear. You need to rev to around 3500 before shifting.

[TJ213]

okay, I do shift kind of early, maybe I just still can't drive

(and me and my dad must drive slow because we still have the origional tires)

[AP1fun]

S03's are really good. Unless you drive like I do your not gonna wear them out quick.

I get the same thing on the new s2k I just purchased. The rattling/buzzing seems to be due to resonance from the exhaust at lower rpm (I got the same thing on my old vtech accord after I made some modifications - prior to replacing the exhast system with something less restrictive -- dc sports cat back). I suppose the only way to cure this would be to go for an aftermarket system, but, for me, its not a big enough deal to warrant any corrective action. Anyone else fixed this issue?

Its normal.. on my s2000 it does it and my friend as well... It has something to do with the flywheel

[jembr325]

Yeah I looked into this a little more and they are calling it "Clutch Buzz." This seemed to be more of a problem with the Ap1s so there was a recall on it whereby they installed a stronger clutch/ pressure plate I beleive. All ap2s have the fix in place. I do get a lot of resonance from my exhaust in low rpms when slowing down (rattle) but it has to do with the exhast -- sounds great when you are heavy on the throttle though.
