New Clutch?
#21
Get the clutch piecemeal if you have to, as long as you ONLY buy genuine Honda parts. The most expensive thing is the pressure plate, resurfacing the flywheel should be possible with your mileage.
You can use hondapartsnow.com hondaautomotiveparts.com hondapartsnetwork.com those have the best prices for everything. All in, you're looking at around $580-750 in parts(the flywheel is pretty expensive brand new) plus around $450-600 for labor, or if you're a bit of a masochist, you can spend $350 in decent tools and do it all yourself. Assuming you have no jack, jack stands, wrenches and sockets, extensions, universal joints, a tq wrench that can read up to 150ft lbs, a pry bar, a hammer, Honda ultra high temp urea grease, allen sockets, and a vice grip. If you have most of these things then obviously your tools cost will be lower.
If you take it to Honda or a regular shop there's no guarantee they won't eff up the knock sensor, as it's so easy to bust up.
Plus the good thing about having tools is, that you can use them again to fix other stuff on the car, or use them to do maintenance on it.

Also, I now have a vibration/buzz noise right around 4k RPM. Its very brief. Initial thoughts after researching was it could be the heat shield? Any other thoughts?
Thanks, guys.

So, got the clutch replaced, and as you guessed, the check engine light is on, and its showing the P0325 knock sensor code. I'm assuming its going to need replaced? Or is it something I can fix on it?
