how do you know when it going out? Everytime i accellerate and let off the gas while still in gear it gives like a weird noise. I cant duplicate the noise with typing but it comes on everytime i let off the gas more in 1st and 2nd gear while im in gear and letting off the gas. Is my throwout bearing gone? Ive only had the car for 6 months. its an 07.

 

okay so the sound when decelerating is more of a buzzing sound.

 

Possibly clutch buzz. I get it once in a while in my 06 and had it in my 03. Honda has still not fixed this 100%.

 

really? I read in the library reference that its covered under warranty and honda will replace the disc is this true? I have 12k miles on my car and i plan on bringing into honda tomorrow morning to check it out.

 

I remembered on my civic when i got the buzzing it was the throwout bearing...hope its not. Is this a common thing for the s2k?

 

It's very common for the S to have clutch buzz. From what I've read, it appears that the tension springs in the clutch disc cause the gears in the transmission to whine during decel. It's more noticeable in the S than in some other cars because of the driver's location in relation to the transmission. It actually occurs in all gears at lower RPMs, most noticeable in 2nd and 3rd because in the higher gears there's more road noise to cover up the buzz...

 

really? so i shouldnt be so worried about it?

 

nope there's nothing to worry about. it's just how the car's gonna sound. I had a revised disc replaced under the TSB and although the buzz is nowhere nearly as bad I still get it sometimes.

 

For some reason I like the buzz. Adds a little more rawness to the car.

 

Its not a big deal, you will just get used to it, but it can weird out passengers if they don't know what it is.
