How often do you guys change your clutch fluid?

I replaced my trans with a low mileage AP2 trans, and it does the same thing. I would change the fluid just to check for shavings and prolong life, but I do not think this help with this problem. If you keep your hand on the shifter you can keep it in gear, presumably with no ill effects.

Hi all,
Just bought my first 2005 Honda S2000 about 2 month ago. Already had my second and third gears grind a few times. Also, about a week ago I had my first gear pop out and I heard a loud bang. I thought someone hit me in the rear.
I did a lot of research in the past week and even called America Honda but no help from them either. They told me they never heard about this problem. I am about to replace my transmission fluid with original Honda manual transmission oil. My mechanic told this morning that it will be a waste of money if I went and replaced my transmission fluid. He told me it will not help. He said I need to rebuild my tranny. Did someone have the same problem? After replacing the transmission fluid, was shifting gears much smoother and no more gear grind? Or maybe I do need to rebuild my tranny? Thank you.

It is cheaper to rebuild it now before something comes apart in it. Smoother just means that the synchros are working better, but the wear and bent forks are permanent. If you have no money drive it carefully and start saving up. It is the perfect time to change the clutch and the clutch fork while you are at it.
