I am replacing my clutch for my 03 s2000. I had resurface the flywheels and put the new pressure plate and clutch disc and tigh to spec already. However, the new throwout bearing in my new pressure plate and disc is kind of loose. It can move back and forward, is this normal? I ask this question because my old throwout bearing is not loose and is turing with the clutch disc and the pressure plate. I dont want to put my transmission back and hear the throwout bearing noise. Please help.

 

What type of clutch did you get? My Science of Speed clutch did that when I was installing it and I have put about 6k miles since the install and no problems, noises, and no issues with engaging and disengaging the clutch.

so you can move the throwout bearing inside the pressure plate by hand when you was installing?

 

yes, I was skeptical at first before I threw the trans back on. But my buddy helping me who works on cars for a living said it would be fine. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong.
It is much more intact when the trans is back on, less play.

 

Mine came with everything and did that. I noticed you stayed with your Honda OEM pressure plate.

by the way, did you put grease on the clutch disc spline and the throwout bearing?

 

There should be a "little" wiggle room for the TO bearing, a couple mm. All it does is pull against the arms on the pressure plate to pry the plate away from the clutch disc.

 

it's fine. be sure to grease the spline, the bearing, and the shift fork on the way back in.

 

what kind of grease do you guys use?
