xviper: They replaced clutch, flywheel and bearings... that is why they dont believe me when I say something is wrong... they say since they replaced all the parts with new ones, there should be nothing wrong.
I told them that it feels like something isn't lubricated, and they said that they all come prelubricated... DAMNIT such a headache

There have even been reports of brand new cars where that spline was not greased properly, causing the T.O. bearing to get sticky and partially seize.

I remeber greasing to TB, so what do you think might be the problem with mine?
The clutch pedal adjustment is only if you feel the "friction point" is not in the correct place and there is incorrect free play at both ends.
I bought the flywheel new, but i did not have it cut (scratched, machined). I didn't think it needed to be when it is new. Maybe that's the problem, because i know there is a friction loss somewhere (i think).
Since when is there a clutch adjustment on a hydraulic clutch?
My guess is this:
Your TO bearing is the old one
your flywheel isn't turned or if it is then you might have "hardspots" or cracks on the flywheel
your transmission might be shiet

The flywheel was brand new from Toda, so i hope that's not it, but i didn't turn it before i put it on(so maybe that's the reason). I put on a brand new T bearing (greased as well) when i installed it, and i know it's not the transmission. it only started after i changed the clutch and flywheel, and i can feel the clutch trying to engage, but slipping roughly when i go to engage. It's only in first, and when accelerating WOT in 1st.
Thanks for the advice.

u don't need to turn a brand new flywheel. did you happen to wipe off the grease and oil with some carburetor cleaner before installation though?
The only other thing that I can suggest is that you get someone mechanically knowledgeable with the S2000 who is handy to your location and have him test drive it. At this point, I think you need a diagnosis from someone who can get "hands on" with your car. Your description of the symptoms can easily be misinterpretted.

We were referring to the clutch "pedal", not the clutch per se. There is a minute pedal adjustment possible but this is highly NOT recommended until all other possibilities have been exhausted.

I could be wrong but your clutch might be out of alignment. If the mechanic didn't use a clutch alignment tool then you're focked.

Having said this, there could still be some other mounting error committed.
