I did a search for the TSB for the clutch buzz. I can't seem to find it the search came up with this link but its dead. Anyone have that TSB? Does it apply to my2003? and if you have the extended warrenty 100k will they perform it at 45k?

 

I don't think it applied to the MY03, but if you have the symptom they should fix it. MY03s should still be under the original warranty.

BTW, hondacare is not a warranty. it is a service agreement.

 

This has been argueed many times. However the pamphlet that Honda puts out says warrenty on the front page. This means they have to abide by the gov regs with regard to warranties. Honda lawyers screwed up.

 

it doesnt apply to my03 and you can only get it performed once and it doest fix it permantly only temporarily all they do is give you a new clutch aseembly they cahlk it up to the angle of the tranny

 

I chalk it up to piss poor build quality...

 

Build quality has nothing to do with it.

All clutches will transmit some backlash noise. It just so happens the clutch isn't far from the driver's ear in a S2000. How about they make it a FWD car so you don't hear it?

Sorry, poor choice of words on my part. All I know is that my '00 rattles and buzzes like a Yugo when I let off the gas between 4000 and 3000 in the lower gears. It didn't do it when I first bought the car (used with 3,000 miles) but now with 31,000 it does and it seems to be getting worse. I hate to replace a clutch over a noise, but it is damned irritating.

 

Thanks!
