Clutch Vibration

[Daniel Muratore]

Hi Guys

I have receently started to notice a strange vibration on my cluth pedal.

If i put the pedal to the floor and hold the RPM between 2500 and 3000, i feel a strange vibration on the pedal, keep in mind the clutch does not slip, but i have noticed a similar vibration on gear down. When the car is in neutral and my foot is not on the cluth there is no noise when holding at the same RPM. The car is not driven hard on a regular basis.

Would appreciate it if anyone can give me some feedback.

dude your so gonna get flamed for starting this thread man!

it's the infamous clutch buzz.. common problem with early model s2ks, nothing to worry about.. if it bothers you that much, then just change the clutch, and the buzz will be gone.

I was actually aware of the cluthch buzz before i bought the car, however the dealership supposidly replaced the whole lot with a 2001 clutch kit before i picked it up. the problem has only just resurfaced, and yet it is a different feeling to that which i felt when i test drove the car originally. Thanks for the heads up, don't worry i am sure i can handle the grilling.

It should have been replaced with an 02 spec clutch.... not 01... 01 still retains the clutch buzz problems, 99-01.

Thanks Mate, lets just say they'll be fixing it under warranty.

all the clutches from honda, are all superceded to the new clutch anyways.

Then why was it replaced with an 01?

And that an't be true because the AP2 clutch has an anti launch mechanism built in which has to be modified for the car to be launched.

Can you elaborate on that?

Anti-launch mechanism?

Could be talking about the clutch delay valve, i'm not sure which year that was introduced in...

[whoosh!]

Thats the thing I meant. I didn't have time to search s2ki for the correct term since I was on my way out the door to work.

It was introduced in 2004 for the AP2 update.

the anti launch mecahnism doesnt allow the AP2 model S2K to laucnch at a higher rpm (i dont remember what the highest lauch was but i think its around 4500rpm)

clutch buzz is totally normal and there are cases where it will still buzz een if you change it to another OEM.

if you change the complete system with clutch and flywheel its a definiete go and will not come back.
