S2000 Gearbox issues / plug threading rounded.

I personally won't let any mechanic work on my car. Do it all myself. That and the fact I am in Sydney means I can't help with recommendations.

I am familiar with the 'polish the knob' procedure you speak of.

And with regards to metal in your gearbox, that's what the flush is for.

Well if you come to Sydney I'll do it for you. Standard cost is a bottle of scotch.

you know what? i am thinking of going on a holiday. i wonder if it's healthy to drive it all the way there as it is? it'll be annoying constantly with the dodgey clutch and gears not going in rigt though.

[AusS2000]

Probably not advisable to drive with a bad clutch.

have you checked the fluid level yet?
pop the hood and take a look


if it's low on fluid, top it up.. if it goes low again there's prob a leak

[AusS2000]

Also check the colour. New fluid is blue or gold and translucent, old is dark and opaque.
