replacing the clutch disc with an OEM disc usually remedies the problem.. no guarantee that it won't come back though from what I've heard.

i have it and just live with it.

I have replaced every piece within the clutch assembly and the noise is still there.

I am convinced that it is the tranny and not the clutch.

The techs at Honda told me that the 02+ clutch parts are supposed to remove that buzzing. I didn't have the buzzing until I went with the ACT clutch.

It's not weird. I just said that it doesn't happen with 02+ OEM parts.

They said it works well. Not always sounds right, but almost always works right!!! My s2000 makes alot of vibrating and buzzing noises. All of which i hear are normal, so as long as they dont change tone or pitch or general volume I dont bother with fixing normal noises...

I feel your pain on the loud and obnoxious buzzing sounds. Don't know if this is applicable to your situation, but here's a TSB on clutch buzz for 00'-01': https://www.s2ki.com/stor/library/TSB/A00-054/index.htm . Good luck getting the dealership to do this for free because of an extended warranty, the clutch disc is one of the things not covered by it. Go figure.
