[beesting]

does anyone know if there is an australian service bulletin for the infamous "clutch buzz" on the early model s2000's? the american service bulletin is number 00-054 dated November 27,2001 and titled "buzzing from the engine or transmission while decelerating".

mate , i tried a few yrs back trying to get it fixed under warranty and they just laughed it off . I even tried Honda Australia head office to no avail . Best to live with it and replace your clutch with the 01+ OEM clutch when its time . After a while you wont even notice it anymore . We have an 03 S2000 now and i actually miss the buzzing :p

i went to a honda service centre today. they charged me $130 for a quote to say that i need a new clutch setup if i want to fix the buzzing ($2500). i was pissed...

since when do you charge people for a quote...

will never go to them again.

Where the hell do you go for that? General price from Honda is about $1700... and $130 for a quote, did they service it the same time???

no service was carried out.

i only asked for a quote to fix:

1. condensation in passenger headlight
2. convertible latch
3. piece of carpet falling away from trim
4. clutch buzz
5. install mat posts
6. stearing wheel shroud

the only piece of work actually carried out was disconnecting the headlight washers. surely that only takes 5 minutes at most???

the items above would have taken 30 minutes max to look at and they refuced to quote on items 3 and 5.

i might write a letter of complaint... the service manager was a complete **** head to me. i just wanted my car back before they wrecked it...

the scary thing is, i seemed to know alot more about s2000's than they did :o

What exactly does the clutch buzz sound like? and what causes it?

i think my euro may have a similar problem

sounds like a mobile phone vibrating on a table

but its also a vibration that can be felt throughout the car
