Default S2000 Broke Down Part 2

Ok, so they inspected it, and it appears the whole thing is messed up.. clutch, flywheel, pressureplates.. and some other parts. 800 total for parts, 400 for labor.. grand total 1200. Expensive! And.. they have to order the part from Japan.

Takes 2 week to order the parts, and do the labor. I think thats pretty quick... considering oversea.

Pocket :-(. They said that the clutch disk.. shattered.. not burned... They also said, never ever dump the clutch pedal at 8000 rpm... our S2000's OEM clutch can't handle it. That is why mine shattered.

Is that from your first car? What'd you replace it with?

Yes, my '00 Berlina Black! And Honda replaced it with a new part!

So urpow, any updates on your problems with the clutch? Did Honda cover it under warranty? How is the repair? Do you have your car back? Please let us know.
