just curious how it goes on a s2000. ive heard they are a bitch, from a honda technician. how did you fare?

possible to do without a lift?

ive replaced engines and transmissions multiple times on my crx to give you an idea of my mechanical aptitude.

It's a pain for someone that hasn't done it before. It's possible without a lift but MUCH easier with one. To access the bolts at the top of the bell housing, you'll need to lower the sub-frame/engine. There are plenty of shortcuts that eliminate the steps in the manual. A good mechanic shouldn't have any problems.

 

A lift and a transmission jack helps.

 

just to make sure, are you guys speaking from experience?

I tend to make up stuff from time to time just to make life harder for you, only you.

 

Yea I completely BS'd that one too. I do motor swaps and stuff in my dreams.

Experience.

Yes, but its the S2000 forum, not Civic/Integ

you might checkout s2ki.com, I know there are people there who have swapped motors, AP2-AP1

 

yeah i know. im feeling around which site to ask which questions.

 

yeah, s2ki is alright, I don't really care for how the info is arranged, its kinda all over the place. not organized like teamintegra.net

 

I just finished putting a clutch in a '00. This is the fourth S2Kclutch I have done so it is becoming routine. Get a factory manual and follow it step by step and you won't have any problems. It is time consuming, but if you have swapped motors you can pull this trans.

*One good tip the manual doesn't show is to remove the alternator to access the upper starter bolt.

**Buy a new 6mm allen socket for the drive shaft bolts and I would also buy new driveshaft bolts from Honda...you will most likely round off a few.

 

is the clutch the same between ap1 and ap2 transmissions?

(oops, did i give away what im planning on doing?)

 

I looked and it gave me different part numbers for an 01 clutch vs an 04.

It's been done here also.

 

AP1 and AP2 clutches are interchangeable. I ran an AP1 Fidanza flywheel and AP1 SPEC clutch on my AP2. Now I run the AP2 flywheel with the SPEC clutch.

You're talking aftermarket now. They are interchangeable, as with most parts. OEM clutches carry different PN's though.

 

perhaps the PN difference is in a different liner or whatnot. like they might have made a slight design change to make it beefier or less vibration. but still interchangeable.

i guess what im after is if they are interchangeable, at least will i need to get a new clutch or maybe another pressure plate or something.
