So everytime i put it in first gear and start going forward i let off the clutch and it makes the worst noise, like a buzzing and then grinding.

Wtf do i do?

 

common problem on the early models, aftermarket clutch will fix that.

 

^^^^It might be the infamous "Buzzing Clutch" in AP1's.

You feel it a lot more when you down shift break. I got a Stage II after my clutch went out in the canyons, and the buzzing went away. I love it. hahaha

 

you'll get used to it after a while, it's my second OEM/EXEDY clutch and it's buzzing too...just matter of time

 

Clutch buzz is a common issue, no worries.

 

The buzzing is normal, the grinding might indicate a worn clutch or TO bearing.

 

i only hear the buzz when i down shift not when i engage in 1st gear. feels like a slight rumble or like its comming from the exhaust. i actually like that soud

 

how much is it gonna cost me to get a new clutch at the dealer?

 

Around $360-$380 for a new pressure plate, TO bearing, and friction disk.

 

just went with an ACT HDSS in my S. Buzzing/rattling gone and the **** grabs like a bear. Feels just like the XTR6 I had in the Civic.

 

its not the LSD?

sounds like it's coming from the front.


what could be screwed with the LSD?

 

If your S2k is MY00 or MY01 then there is a TSB out on this. I used to drive a MY01 and when I noticed this problem (most 00-01 s2k's have this problem), I took it into the dealer and they fixed it under warranty. You probably don't have a warranty anymore, but I just wanted to let you know that you do NOT have to get an aftermarket clutch. Honda has a redesigned clutch. They put my new clutch in when I had 4k miles. Never had anymore problems through 23k, when I sold the car. BTW advice for the future: don't ever sell your s2k!!!! I sold my 01 and it was a HUGE mistake!!! I am now the proud owner of a MY07 and couldn't be happier! I could however have a lot less debt if I would have kept the first one!
