So posted in that areas local forum, asking if someone would pick it up and fedex. This forum is awesome! I paid with card, and this guy who was local to dealer drove over and got it, then fedexed it to me. I gave him a little extra to cover his costs, but I definitely owe the guy a case of beers if we ever meet.
Maybe you could do the same thing...

YOU ROCK for sending me this link! I see it's called a "release hanger"
If it's really that and or the hanger spring then damn, what a simple small thing that caused a big thing... the car is 100 percent - engine is fantastic and everything works, it's just this little hiccup that could probably have been avoided had the previous owner done the aftermarket clutch install correctly... for all we know, they could have forced the fork which weakened the hanger or something like that.

Aftermarket clutch install?

It should be very easy to spot if the pivot bracket is indeed broken or loose.
If it is indeed bad it should be possible to replace it without pulling the transmission.
From your description it sounds like the mechanic wasn't sure at all what was wrong and I wouldn't start pulling out the transmission just based on that.

This is being claimed thru the warranty which the bank forced me to take. Just hoping that they will definitely pay for the whole job.
I wasn't too happy with the harshness of the four puck and the noises it made. OEM should be great huh?

That's good news
Yes OEM friction disc, pilot bearing and release bearing is highly recommended, if you want a bit of an upgrade you can get a ACT pressure plate.
Not sure on the Honda pricing in SA but if they are like here in Europe you might want the buy from the US instead.
Here is a nice package from one of the vendors here (there are many others) and I think you might get additional discount if you ask.

Oh just realized you might get the parts for free, then no need to order anything I guess.

Yeah, while the act pp (which I have, and love) is a slight upgrade from the oem pp, if it was choice between buyong act pp at overseas prices vs free oem pp, the choice would be real easy. Go all oem, for free, and don't look back. That warranty just paid off...

Thanks for the link. I heard stories of people having bad experiences with ACT - crankwalk??
Yes, hoping I get the new parts totally free, on warranty
