Default New clutch going in

Well my clutch has been buzzing away for the last 12000 miles. it started doing it occasionally at around 19000 miles. it was only in 3rd gear back then. well its doing it in 2nd, 3rd and 4th now. well after leaving it for ages i have been on to the local honda dealership to get it sorted on extended warranty. the car changes gear fine however anything over 3000 revs and you start to notice the noise when decelerating.

I might be wrong here - but wasn't there a Honda Bulletin about this being the clutch plate ???

Does anyone else know about this Honda Bulletin as I'm sure there is one around somewhere.

The car I'm buying on Saturday had the 054 -> 055 clutch upgrade done under warranty just a couple of weeks ago. The bloke I'm buying the car from lives in Aylesbury so the dealer he used shouldn't be too far from you. I'll ask him for the details and forward them on.

Just called the bloke and my clutch was done at Braylake Honda in Hemel Hempstead. It was done week before the end of the 3 year Manufacturer warranty though, not the extended warranty, not sure if this makes a difference.

I had the 055 done in the extended warranty, I think my dealer had to tell Honda that the clutch had completely failed though.
