Clutch replacement on MY00
As you can see from my badge etc I have an MY00 S. Trident Honda in Weybridge are saying that the clutches on 00's were not the best and I should replace mine.
Bit vague on the details and the clutch doesn't seem to be playing up on my car. Does anyone know anything about this? I've got 35K miles on the car.
All help most appreciated.

From memory, I think a lot of the earlier cars had a known clutch "problem", resulting in Honda offering a replacement to the 055 clutch (mostly done under warranty).
I can't remember what the symptoms of the problem were but there are plenty of threads out there documenting it, if you want to have a search before someone more knowledgeable than me reads this and replies.

if they are going to replace under warranty then do it...if not I'd leave it....I only had mine replaced because it was vibrating but even then it didn't bother me that much...I replaced it because it was free

The problem on the 054 clutch was a vibrating noise when decelerating in gear from 4k rpm. On my last car it was very very noisy.
I don't know if my current car has had it's clutch changed, but it makes no noise whatsoever.

Mine wasn't too bad, made a slight ringing sound under deceleration, but I still got it changed under warranty.

my one makes a real buzz between 3-4000 RPM upto 3rd gear. i guess this is the same problem. its a MY99 but only done 15k miles. its doesnt have a honda warrantee any more but does have a warrantee from the dealer who sold it to me.
do you think there is much chance of honda fixing it for free/reduced rate out of warrantee? if not might try and wangle it through the second hand car dealers warrantee (not sure its covered though as its not a clutch failure of any kind). if not again I guess i'll just leave it.
Also seem to have a bit of a clutch grab problem in first gear when dabbing accelarator as sub 10mph speeds. Especially bad when driving around multi story car parks.. can sometimes jerk the car quite badly... foot to the clutch or press on the accelarator always sorts it. getting a service soon and will get them to check it out. anybody else had this?

If you have had no problems with it, then I'd leave it.
I have had my car since Sept'99. The dealer changed the clutch plate (I believe) due to minor vibrations.
I've done 21K miles in just over 4 years of ownership, and I've not had to change the clutch as such.
I think it's the dealer trying to get some extra business out of you !

De-clutching cures it, accelerating would, too, but not the right time or place. Otherwise I have always been amazed at the car's ability to crawl along at 2 mph with my foot off the clutch as if it is an automatic - so much for the early stories of intractability round town being the price you have to pay.

Hi Kelk
I have an MY00 and the clutch and Gearbox have been relaced under warranty. If your car isnt too far out of warranty and the Honda garage recommend that you get it done then I would get it done but only if they are going to pay for it.
Give them some grief usually works.
