Recently I've noticed that my clutch pedal sometimes makes an odd noise when I depress it. The noise began around 17000 miles, and corresponded to a very noticable increase in the amount of buzzing I'm getting from the transmission. Observations:

- My car is a later MY '01.
- It does not always make the noise. I haven't noticed a correlation to temperature, humidity, transmission gear, speed, etc.
- It's not random. It usually goes in spurts - today it did it every time I pushed the clutch pedal in, both on my way to work and on my way home (9 hours apart, 30 degrees difference). Yesterday it did not do it on the to work, but did on the way home and when I went grocery shopping (about 30 minutes apart).
- As noted, it started at about 17k miles (about 3 weeks ago). I installed a new stereo about the same time the noise appeared, but I can not see anything dragging or otherwise affecting the clutch pedal's motion.
- I can feel it through my foot as well as hear it.
- The sound can best be described as a "woo" sound. Possibly like air in a tube (not hissing though), or something dragging along a wet rubber pad.

I'm taking it to my local dealer next week to hopefully have the clutch TSB done to get rid of the buzzing, and have them look at the clutch pedal thing. Any thoughts?

The noise will go away if someone else tries to hear it...

The guys at Honda think I'm some kind of hypochondriac car freak.
"Your clutch is not squeaking."

I've just notice that mine squeaks when I release the clutch, don't tknow if they are related.

Mine does too. It might need some lube, dunno. I need to adjust my clutch so I'll see about lubing it.

Look Here for last year's answer to this problem.

Cthree, don't you know how to do a search?

I had the same problem.....never fixed it because it seems to have gone away.
but if it comes back I will do what everyone said in that thread!

Hey Incubus, same here on that hypochondriac thing.

Yeah being younger than most S2000 owners, they tend to look down on me, but I do know what I'm talking about.
