Hey guys, how much is it roughly to get a new gear box and clutch for a S2000?
Is there a way to replace just the plastic window? to a Glass?
Checked out a S2000 today and that's some of things it needed work on.
Thanks

look at a different s2000,
clutch is at least a $2k job including labour
What's wrong with the gear box exactly? is it the syncros or input shaft bearings?? either way its alot...
u can replace the whole roof to include the class window, about US$450 + shipping + installation (10 hour job by professional), your looking at $1-1.5k
doesnt matter how much it costs when you got daddy's money anyway rolled.
Finding it hard to click into 1st gear and can't find the 6th gear at all.
where can u get the glass window roof from? I didn't think it was possible with AP1 coz it folds where the window is, I'd love to change mine to glass
ebay.
You can get cluthes + flywheel from the US for $150US + postage costs.
check if its synchros. it sounds like synchros
if ur whole box is going then i could be time to park the car in cabra with the keys in the ignition and wait 10mins and call the police to report ur car stolen
cmon ... seriously... cops read this stuff... and that kinda shit makes peoples premiums go up. wtf.Quote:

what, you're saying that having a stolen car and making a claim does not make insurance premiums go up.
U dont need a new gear box!!!!!! Please make sure this is clear.U dont even need to drop it. All gears can be "hard" to get into, its just the gear box, its very clunky, this is normal. Change the oil it might improve. With the S2k,5th and 6th share a syncro. When u make a bad upshift, say, 3rd to 5th at a high RPM or if there is extensive mis- shifting,the sycro sleeves tend to be put out of alignment/caught, and u end up with teeth touching teeth, instead of falling into place, like gear cogs should. Now what u need to do is to jump on the freeway, bite ure lip and force the gear back in. I was drving around for months without sixth, until someone suggested this ,took 3mins to fix. Just keep going from 5th to 6th and soon enough u'll round the edges, and they'll fall back into place. Rounding the edges wont cause any long term damage.in fact once its fixed it will feel as if the problem was never there. Its happend to a few ppl, search on s2ki.com u'll see.Quote:

Labour should cost $450 max for a clutch install/replacement.(honda will charge 10 times more)
In regards to the window. Search might be a good start,its been coverd a few times. U cant just replace the plastic, the whole roof needs replacing. If u want original, honda will ask about 5k for parts, labour will be about $700 (thats what i was quoted) There are quality aftermarket replacments on the net for about 1k (cant remeber if thats US or AU) Still a shit load cheaper.
