Ok guys.. thanks for the pointers.

The list of DIY stuffs I've done are things like spring/suspension jobs, starter/alternator replacement, brakes, nitrous oxide install, transmissin/differental flush, etc.

do you think I can replace the clutch master/slave cylinders and bleed the whole thing without messing up? I know this is kind of a silly question but I don't wanna have to stop in the middle of a job and have to have the car towed...

thanks again. Where do I order the parts?? Hardtop guy?

Oh man I'm sounding like a newbie. I think I might have an adversion to working on s2000s..


thanks again

 

I went online and got the Slave Cylinder for $65 shipped and replaced it and the fluid for under 90 bucks total. Look into that.

 

If you're comfortable working in the engine bay to swap out an alternator and have bled brakes before, a clutch cylinder swap is about the same level of difficulty.

I get my parts from http://www.HondaAutomotiveParts.com , but that's for the convenience as I know they will have (almost) every part I could ever swap (and then some).

 

thehondapartsstore.com is actually the cheapest place to get brand new honda parts. it's herson's honda website. if uyou live close enough you can drop the shipping cost and just pick it up. they usually get parts in the very next day if they're not in stock.

 

Same thing happened to my car altough it was more like 5-10 minutes it went from good to horrible. Didn't have enough time to get anything swapped out before the track so i bled the system and its still working fine. Give it a shot before spending the extra $$ and time

 

It's actually not, the place I mentioned is... by roughly 10%.

 

i guess you're right

i switched to thehondapartsstore because i checked their prices against those at majestic (hondaautomotiveparts) and they were much cheaper...maybe they're cheaper for some parts and not others?

 

Very likely... I simply pulled up one page (Meter) and everything was a good 5-10% cheaper at Majestic, so I stopped looking.

 

Thanks everyone for the links to the parts store !

But how come there isnt anything for clutch cylinder replace and bleed under the DIY section?

"yeahitsahonda", could you point me in the right direction on where to get the 'how to' on the clutch bleed?

I'd be willing to pay someone how much a shop would charge to come to my house and replace and bleed the clutch cylinders if there is someone who knows how to do it and is wiling. Oh man I need my S2000 for the weekend!

 

Couldn't find any DIY stuff but its pretty easy with the help of a friend. Look under the car on the trans and you should see the slave cylinder on the drivers side. I believe its a 8mm bleeder valve but it may be a 10. Suck the fluid out of the clutch master cylinder then fill it with fresh fluid. have a friend pump the clutch pedal a few times then hold it down. crack the bleeder loose until the fluid stops flowing out of it then tighten it again. Repeat this until it seems like the old fluid is all out. Make sure you keep fresh fluid in the master cylinder. And dont let the clutch pedal up if the bleeder is open or air will get in and you will be in a worse position than you started in. Sorry i dont have any pictures but i hope this helps.
