if you're not slipping it's the TSB - print the TSB out and bring it to the dealer (another one) and ask them for thier opintion (spelled wrong) also hook up with your local club and find out some of the better dealer's in your area.

plan on spending between $1,200.00 to 1,500 on new one so agressively persure the TSB issue

Fadi, if you are still under warranty then it is definitely a TSB replacement.

If your warranty has expired I wouldn't worry about it as your clutch is still working fine. However, if you can't live the noise then you are going to have to get it replaced - still you can buy a lot of sets of earplugs for $1.2 - $1.5k

Think about it... If it makes the noise at 3K-4K RPMs in every gear, then it is related to the TSB.

verify if clutch is slipping...at freeway speeds, floor the throttle...if the revs climb but speed remains constant, then time for new clutch

FadiiS2K, if San Luis Obispo isn't too far for you to go, bring your S to me at Sunset Honda, 805-544-9500. If your car is still under basic warranty, less than 3 years/36,000 miles, warranty repair should be no problem. If your S was first purchased more than three years ago, I may still be able to do a goodwill repair for you. Just did one of these today for another guy who spends time on this board. We installed a replacement OE disc with an aftermarket flywheel & cover assembly which he supplied. You can reach me at extension 632. Let me know if I can help.

Paul B.
