Two questions.

1. Is it a PITA to change the clutch yourself in an S2000 if you have ALL the right tools and a lift. I have yet to change a clutch myself in any car, (let alone my S2000), but I really want a better than stock clutch, and I'm a cheap-a$$.

2. Is there a good service manual available for the 2002 S2000? I had a Bentley Manual for my E36 M3 and that book saved me so much money and tought me so much about my car I thought it would be cool to have one for the S.

Thanks,

Preston

 

1) Depends on whether you think pulling the engine is a PITA.

2) www.helminc.com

 

Well, you only have to drop it 3", but what you gotta do to drop it could be a nightmare!

The official Honda manual, available through Helm for a ridiculous amount of money, is a bit of a disappointment, as it goes into very little detail about the "why's and how's" things are engineered and should work, but it is a good assembly/disassembly manual and has lots of good drawings. For example, there is almost no information about how the VTEC system works or what the parameters of engagement/disengagement are. Still- ya gotta have it if you are going to do more than change the oil.

 

Thanks guys, exactly what I was looking for.

How long would a clutch replacement take for the dealers to do?

 

I think they rate it as a five hour +/- job-
