Took my baby in to the dealer to have TSB54 done (rattle when decelerating at 4000 rpm in third or second gear). Dealer has had car now for two days and says will need it for another. TSB says work should only take 4.5 hours!!!

When I called, service manager said it was more difficult than TSB makes it out to be. Any comments on that?

Also, manager said this was the first one they had done!!! That really makes me nervous.

Any suggestions for me? Thanks.

 

Yep, this is what happens when you take the car to a dealership that hasn't worked on many S2000s. I say find the one that most people are taking theirs too, they'll eventually have a knowledgable S2000 guy(s). The only problem with that is, eventually you have to wait in line while your buddies S2000 gets fixed.
