[QUOTE="Andy M, post: 55954, member: 2090"] Mark, As others have mentioned, most of the '00 R's came with some loose bolts on the drive shaft, including mine. Additionally, mine had a loose nut on the driver's side rear wheel, the one which holds the rotor on the car!! :uh oh: Once all of this stuff was done, including replacing the rear knuckle which was recalled... it is pretty solid now. As Kevin mentioned however, this car has no sound deadening material, so you hear everything!! As for the motor ticking, mine also makes some unusual sounds, but I've been told by good mechanics to expect a racing engine to make more noises than a normal street engine. The ticking is not that bad on mine. And it usually becomes muffled by the glorious sounds from the massive air intake and the Bassani hiflow exhaust!! :D The likely culprit for the gear rollover you are hearing is the hydromechanical diff clutch pack engaging and disengaging at low speeds. I get a faint thump when mine engages ...primarily heard only in 1st gear. Again, nothing to worry about - just normal everyday stuff for the R. [/QUOTE]
