[B]well first off blake you can just stay off this topic cause you are adding nothing but moronic posts so thanks but no thanks, just go on thinking you know everything about driving and stay off here,

 

Sorry to hear you abused your car.............

Some here admit it and pay the price. If you can't afford a clutch drop don't do it.........

 

I got my car at the age of 17. I've been treated with nothing but respect from Weseloh Honda. They have fixed all my problems with the car, and have even repaired some stuff that was TOTALLY obvioulsy my fault at no cost. Although your age does play a part, I suggest you find another dealer that will respect you and listen to you.

 

Doesn't a car have to have the SAME problem over and over before it is technically a "Lemon"?

If I am remembering my "F=MA" stuff correctly, if the clutch has twice the gripping power, then it WILL put twice as much instantanious force (shock) on the rest of the drivetrain. It seems like it would be like the difference between a steel hammer and a rubber mallot. It doesn't take much force behind a steel hammer to break a window, but it is REALLY hard to break a window with a rubber mallot.

How much more gripping force does this clutch have?

 

Gernby, the thing is, I have a buddy who has the same clutch, and drives it much harder than most people drive theirs with the stock clutch, and hasn't broken anything. He's been to the drag strip a bunch too. So it takes a lot.

That's good to know. I'm going to have to upgrade my clutch soon, and I don't know what to get. I have an '02 with 8800 miles on it, and my clutch slips allot. I couldn't peal out to save my life, and when I shift from 3rd to 4th while autocrossing, I sometimes wonder if the engine is ever going to slow down to match the transmission.

 

LOL, damn bud your clutch is about to go, dont go with a unsprung clutch, i do believe my clutch is alittle harsh for more street use, but you race the car long enough things will break, and its a luck by luck feature, OH and its not the dealer dicking me around its my DSM. The dealer does what they can the DSM is the one who holds the money and he denies the fixes.

[B]Oh and by the this is the fourth main drivetrain issue in just over 12000 miles. (synchros, clutch, rear-end, now second gear)

 

couldnt tell ya, i guess they wouldnt synchronize with the trans to go into gear correctly.

 

loving my s2k..im in the same problem..honda replaced my clutch and said my 2nd gear wasnt doing the grind to replace it per the tsb..but 3 week later..it did it
