As the title suggests, I want to replace my clutch because it started making some noise.

Does anyone know of a good shop or person (with previous S2000 clutch replacement experience) that can do the install?

I ordered a S.O.S sport clutch, clutch release & pilot bearing, and a light weight flywheel.

I just need someone to put it in. Parts come in this week. I'd like it to be installed next week after Tues. 8/24.

Thanks,

John

In for the info as I suspect I will be needing a new clutch at some point.

Well, I called around and it seems $600 - $700 is the going rate for the labor of the install. The hardest part was finding a shop that would install the aftermarket parts. All of the "Mom & Pop" places (which I like to use instead of dealerships) wouldn't do it unless it was their parts.

So, it looks like I'll be going to Ken Garff. They quoted $660 for the install and didn't mind that it was aftermarket parts.

I'll let everyone know how it goes and my impressions of the SOS clutch/flywheel combo. It's scheduled for next week.

Have you considered trying the installation yourself? I hate installing clutches from underneath cars but it's an educational process and good to know.

I did this in my RX-7 and hated it. Then, I did it once with the motor out of the car and it was cake! Whee!

Yeah, I considered it but I don't have as much space as I used to.

I usually do all of my own work. I used to have a '88 CRX HF that I bought simply to learn about repairing cars. I did an LS/VTEC swap (which I built myself). That was years ago.

On the S2000 I've done everything myself and I guess I feel like taking a break from constantly working on it.

Hopefully, these guys know what they're doing.

I'll help you out. Been wrenching for years and we did Ofire's not too long ago. Took about 8 hours, 6 of it work, 2 of it BS'ing.

Thanks.

PM me and let me know when you're doing it. I can bring beer and/or soda and crack jokes while you guys do all the work.

I've got air tools...

It was a good learning experience for me. I'll bet my_slow_s2k could have finished in 3 if I wasn't there haha. I'm always willing to give a hand at it though. So let me know when you will be doing it. I'm curious to see the sos clutch package as well.
