it has crunched 3 times while downshifting into 2nd gear in the past week or so........
sound like the TSB clutch thing???? I have never worn out any clutch on any car so i highly doubt i have worn this one out.
any opinions?
TIMMY!

Not really much to offer, but I would say take it to the dealer especially since you have a low production number. It's not really the clutch it's the synchros/countershaft that gets replaced. If I remember correctly.

I dunno Scot. Didn't you once tell me I needed to learn to shift? 
The clutch does seem to be weak in these cars. Mine stinks every time I run it hard. Before I had the clutch and 2nd gear grind fixed I had started getting grinds on downshifts but they weren't nearly as common as upshift grinds.
I know you drive your car like a little old granny so I doubt that you could have hurt your clutch.
If I were you I'd take advantage of the TSB's.

I think i told S2000chris he needed to learn how to shift... 
The other 3 grinds (in 19.5k miles)i have had previously were all completely my fault.
I did grind Dan's S2000 on a 2nd gear downshift full clutch too. (sorry dan) -
