I'm not trying to be an ass, but why do you think your clutch needs to be replaced? I thought my clutch was "fried" at 10K miles, but It's still kicking after another 38K miles of abuse (autocrossing / tracking). Honda put a weak ass clutch in this car.

I suggest the ACT pressure plate, stock clutch, and comptech flywheel setup, wether it be N/A or FI. Many owners like this combo and hardtopguy a sponsor here had a special on this complete clutch setup, saving you 33%.

one more thing, i NEVER felt my clutch slip before i installed the intake. not even 30 minutes after installing it i began to notice it slipping and by the time i drove home it wouldnt hardly grab at all. now i know that the intake shouldnt effect the tranny/clutch in any way but could this have hurt my computer? im at a loss. the car will be at the dealer tomorrow but not without expense...thanks alot sw btw my s2k '02 only has 20k miles on it all highway

Below your username, it says you have an '00. In any case, my suggestion in your other thread still stands.
