Its funny I just got done doing a '93 3000gt VR4 I greased everything as I should, then i forget on my car? I was goign pretty slow, can't believe I forgot about this! I am sure I don't have a shit ton to worry about, maybe some WD-40 will work if i can get it in there neatly.

Yeah you will likely be fine for a few years but you may run into a problem down the road if it is under-greased. I remember mine looked about as bad as this:




When they get rusted badly it causes the clutch to drag and makes shifting super difficult. I think the input shafts are under-greased from the factory as I have heard of quite a few people having issues with shifting due to rust accumulating on the splines.

Anyways, not to worry you or anything I'm sure a little WD-40 will do ya

i ran the stock clutch til it gave out.
clutch buzz is nothing, might get annoying at times when downshifting and decelerating but live with it til you use up your OEM clutch.

Now i have an ACT which likes to chatter when not engaged..

When all of you bought your S2000, you bought a sports car, not a luxury sedan. Stop complaining and live with it!

Or sell it and get a TSX or something quiet like that.

I have it, I deal with it. Some days it doesn't bother me, some days I hate it. I turn up the radio until I get an exhaust...

i have an act and after about 7k i started getting a horrid, rediculous clutch buzz. called act and they said they redesigned it and the new model won't have that problem.

told them im not paying 600 more for a clutch you guys had to re-design, can i get it for free... your product sucks. they said no.

don't ever buy act.

at this point, i'd go SPEC.. American based, and the domestic guys like it.

aem makes clutches now ? guessing you meant act. but yea
