Hi Dave welcome back

 

Don't want to take this too off topic, but thanks much for the welcome. Just testing the waters with my little toe.
PS. HondaGal, you have always been a friend. You were NOT one of the old management that I vehemently objected to.

Hey Dave, welcome here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh my goodness, a ghost from the past. Next we will see fire engines, snow, and who knows what S2000 upgrades. Welcome back.

Morris, in case you didn't know, xviper is as good as they come when talking mechanical stuff associated with S2000s and even better he spells it out for non-techies to understand.

 

Oh yes, I know XViper/Dave through his posts. I've been around since HondaGal started her first site. Thanks Dave for the information.

Update, I went to the local Honda dealer and they topped off the fluid level, which was low. It has made a lot of difference, so I feel sure that's where the problem is/was. I am researching a better place to take the S for a rebuild of the CMC since they quoted me 600-700 for the job. Right now it is working well enough to get by. I still need to check on the last tranny fluid replacement, it's probably time for that as well. Also I goofed on the mileage, it just turned 80,000. (this is my +1s daily driver so I don't see that odometer every day)

Thank you all again for your responses. Dave, please stick around. You'll see Vintage as a nice place to be with the nicest people you'll ever want to post with.

 

Thanks, Morris.
A CMC cost about $300.00. And the job takes about an hour, so that dealer is charging you about $400.00 to do the work. If you feel you must replace it, I would suggest you just buy the part and find a small repair shop to do the work. Personally, since you've indicated that topping up the fluid has helped, I'm going to stick my neck out and say that if you replace fluid and flush the system, that you will likely resolve the situation. It's a reasonably cheap option to try.
I even have complete write-ups on how to change the CMC and how to do a clutch fluid flush on the "other" site's "How To" section, with pictures.

 

Just flush and bleed the clutch hydraulics, then adjust the play in the clutch pedal.

 

Hi Dave. Good to see you back here again. I missed the troll!

 

That's insane. I just bought a brand new CMC at an Orlando Honda dealership for $65 back in March. And it took less than two hours to replace. The CMC was so cheap that I bought a new slave cylinder as well for another sixty bucks, a new braided SS hose, and replaced those, too, while I was at it.
