no.

FCC makes the pressure plate and clutch disc.

You can clearly see it says both Honda and FCC on it:

Replace that exedy crap! My tranny locked up as 2 of the 4 springs came off. 1 was jammed between my PP while the other 2 springs were cracked and ready to fall out!

Old style Honda disc here, the one that buzzes

Ok, noise is the clutch itself. That is the general idea.

So that sound is actually not normal in anyway? Can it be something else?

I am asking this because the shop that I am talking about will take it apart and replace it, if that is the problem %100.
They are 10/10 in customer service. However, I don't want them to waste their and my time to do something unnecessary.




Knock sensor was in a real bad shape, I checked it myself. Plastic around it was about to brake(and it did fall apart/crumble in my hands).
I live next to the ocean(1 block), that might be the reason why it was almost falling apart.
Crankshaft sensor was mechanic's fault and it was replaced. ( I was not charged for this)


For the VSA light, my horn and cruise control work fine while lights are off but I never tried it while lights were on.
I will try to get the lights on again and see if horn and cruise control work.

FlyingTR

Both horn and cruise control work when the lights are on, does that mean anything? Everything works fine when the lights are on except vsa and abs. I tried turning signals and hazard lights, soft top, high beams they are all fine.

FlyingTR

Bump, still couldn't figure out the VSA problem. I don't really like losing my ABS randomly.

Scan the VSA code.

FlyingTR

Ok I will. Also I realized that it doesn't come on if you slide the rear less than couple of seconds. You have to slide the car for 2-3 seconds.

What part in transmission/clutch area can cause the VSA to come on? I did not have this before the clutch replacement at all.

Billman250

Possible steering angle sensor code, have to scan to be sure.

FlyingTR

So clutch is changed with OEM Honda and no more noise/buzz.
Decel/accel buzz is totally gone(which is amazing), and noise while in idle is somewhat less than it used to be.
Clutch fork is also replaced(I asked for this to be changed just to eliminate every possibility).
So I do not know what did the trick but it works fine now.


For the VSA, bad news.
I did not get the code yet.
But today I realized when the car was lifted turning the steering wheel makes a clicking noise.
Especially to the left.
It is coming from the steering rack, and it sounds like a loud clock ticking.
It literally started to make the noise when the car was up on the lift.
It wasn't making the noise when we first lifted it, by the time car was ready to get down we found out the clicking noise by luck.

Could this be the reason for the VSA light?
You can not hear it while car is running, but you can clearly hear it when the car is not running.
There is no roughness on the steering wheel, nothing feels out of ordinary.
