BUT for me to get the clutch done, I would literally have to ship my car to the US cause TSB054 is not accepted in Australia.

I made a few calls and basically the Helm's manual is considered an 'aftermarket' thing not used by Honda in Aus ?????? I personally have no idea about this - but really, how different could the drivetrains be between Aus and the US?

Azstama,

Don't let them feed you this bill shit. The two drivetrains are identical.

Even the Japanese drivetrain is identical apart from a different engine.

azstama,

Let me know how you go in this one... I read this article because in the last few months, I've noticed a bit of buzzing or grinding when I decelerate... It happened shortly after I got an aftermarket exhaust though, so I didn't think it was to do with the clutch. I thought I could just hear the engine winding down more...

I also missed out on the Spark Plug recall, because I experienced problems about 1 month before the TSB came out. I paid to have mine replaced $132 Australia dollars.

In any case, i'm not real concerned. With 80,000km on my car, I'm happy to put an after market clutch in soon anyway. Right after I break this one when I drop the clutch with a 8psi Lysholme Screw Type Super Charger in place (not for another 3-6 months though)

I like your attitude mate.
Trust me, the buzzing noise has nothing to do with the aftermarket exhaust!!!

A few NSW boys have had luck with getting their clutches fixed @ Scotts Honda at Artarmon

I wonder how the S2000 goes with an aftermarket clutch and what is available out there. Hey I even wonder if the buzzing noise exists (or is louder) with an aftermarket clutch. Could be a very interesting thread?

Your car will haul with 8 psi though, but you'd had to reduce the compression abit I guess.

From what I have heard no after market clutches have buzzing noises like the shitty stock clutch.

After all the buzzing is caused by underengineered springs.
