I've got 2 lightly used clutch sets for sale. If you're interested I will measure the plate depths for service level (actually I should do that anyway!!).

If it is on it's way out it could save you a packet.

For how long a clutch lasts: I've done 46000 miles in just under 3 years, and about 15 tracks days. Still on original clutch and no problems with it.

78K here on original clutch and all seems fine with mine
Bite point is a little high but meh - my MG was much much worse, used to have a squeaky pedal but still never ever slipped or anything...
probably just Honda trying to squeeze money out of you - tried to get my N/S HiD bulb fitted today (im supplying the bulb) - They wanted the car for an hour and

My old clutch was very heavy, even after the pivot being greased. The new one is stupidly light: I still can't get used to it.

Maybe it's true the early cars had heavier clutches.

I test drove an '03 from the dealership before I found my '04. The clutch on the '03 was alot heavier.

I guess a few suffer from the lack of grease issue from the tech faq.

Is something going on with Honda dealers atm?

Seems to be endless posts about people being told they need new discs, pads, etc...

Maybe not, but worhty of note to see if this is a trend.

Judging clutch being heavy is down to experience, and not always a problem. I'd be more concerned with where its bite point is.

lower has it right about the lubing.

Unless it's juddering or slipping leave well alone other prhpas trying a lube job if you find it heavy.

The clutch in our Alfa 147 GTA is way heavier than the S2000 but it's still perfectly servicable.

Dealer greased mine FOC - but it was sticking rather than heavy.
