update!!!!

Lucky for me i know a technician from STL hondas. so the car is currently at his new business, which is in his garage behind his house. Appears as those the throw out bearing seized and started to grind against the pressure plate, and then eventually broke some of the fingers off. At any rate, the s2 will be getting a new clutch set, along with an 8lb flywheel. I wish it would not have happened around mid-term/finals week, otherwise i could have done the work myself, but oh well.

It could have been worse. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Good luck on your tests! That's more important than your clutch/flywheel.

Sounds like my guess was right and I didn't even get my hands dirty. Woohoo.

Glad your problem wasn't anything super major.
