Just got back from the dealer. They were going to install my alarm which they did and I told them that the car was still popping out of forth, they called me up today, said american honda was aware of the problem and that a tsb had been released. They ordered a new forth gear a new forth fork as well as a new linkage I believe. Just a heads up as a few of us have had this problem and now a solution. It is going to take a least a week to fix though. This sucks they will be giving me a rental but I might just drive the porsche forf he next few days because I dont want to get stuck in a civic.

 

wow! another tranny TSB? how many miles did you have b4 you noticed the problem?

 

Now, the bigger question is, from what VIN onwards was it fixed at the factory...

 

The better question is, how many tranny TSBs before they decide to build a better one and finally fix all the problems.

this is a very specific tsb. It is my belief and was confermed by the service manager that only a few S2000's got a bent fork from the factory. It seemed to be a supplier related problem. I really would not worry about it as it has only happened to three or four people on this board. 2002 S2K's are not covered under the TSB i believe so I think they got it worked out. What sucks is they gave me some brand new prelude for a rental and limited my miles. Plus my 914 was in the shop so I have been stuck at the house lately.

 

Will someone scan the official Honda TSB document and post online please?

 

I will try and get a cfopy from my dealer. I think that wilwood (sp) might have one as well as he is the big honda rep.

 

Thanks, Woodwork!! Wherever the heck you are

 

Just a no0te. Got a call back from the dealer, apparently they are replacing 3rd and 4th gear. 3rd and 4th fork. 5-6 gear's and collet what ever the heck that is. They took it for a test drive and the tranny is now humming so they are going back in to check it agian. I will not have my car back for another 2 days or so and I doubt tommorow like they stated.

 

Thanks StormBringer, please keep us updated.
