I bought an OEM replacement disk from hardtopguy in 2005; it's performed silently for 5 years.

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.
its not much of a complain...more of.. "how can i fix this"... obviously, sumthin is wrong, cuz not ALL S2k have that problem... and some of us jus wants a piece of mind that the clutch wont give out when ur in the middle of nowher.

Read my earlier post for a discussion of what I replaced and why.

Why would you want to know what I paid 5 years ago? You can easily look at vendor websites for current prices.

Maybe a multi-plate clutch like the one Exedy sells for our car (Huge price tag).

At minimum
ACT Pressure Plate/w street disc or OE clutch disk
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACT-HS1-HDS...sQ5fAccessories
OE Pilot Bearing
OE Throwout Bearing
Resurface flywheel if out of spec (machine shop)
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/j...catcgry5=CLUTCH

Total parts - Roughly $700

Support hardtopguy and get the best performance for NA build.
http://www.hardtopguy.com/store/prod...?productid=234

Includes
ACT pressure plate
ACT flywheel
OE disk
OE throwout bearing

Total parts - $1075


If you want a stock feel with a tighter grip when releasing the clutch go with the first option. If you want a faster response more aggresive shifting go with the second option, also if you are turbo or super I would recommend the second option.

If you plan on replacing the clutch yourself it will take roughly 10 hours of labor (possibly more). The transmission is not to heavy but I recommend two other people one to lower jack, other to help with transmission.

I also recommend that you purchase a manual there are a few in the marketplace for roughly $70.

Hope this helps

any idea how much a shop would charge (in terms of # of hours) to swap out the clutch?
