Just got a new gearbox (well 2k worth of geabox bits) in me Accord R, all under lovely warrenty.
Mate at work with same car had same probs.
Anyone else had bother?

Increasingly common problem over in the S2000 forum. Thankfully, (touching loads of lovely wood) my S2K doesn't appear affected yet!

One of the fixes is a 1.5K clutch

no problems on the integra, but a friend has had the clutch problem on his s2k - all done under warrenty, but it was a bit of a fight to start with.

Unhappy

The S2K is a bit of a pain to get off the line. Get it anywhere near the VTEC (5.5K) and it'll smoke the clutch (~170bhp).

Needs a grannie start or a new clutch... You take your pick.
