. Please let me know who you are so I can ban you and you wont have to see any of our videos. We're not just looking for clicks, I really appreciate good car guys to be apart of our channel.
Many dislikes are accidental. I have never seen a video with more than a few thousand views that doesn't have at least a couple. Don't sweat it! Thanks for the video.
I wouldn't worry about it. Like Ninja said, probably just bots. Or trolls. Either way, the people that matter (enthusiasts) enjoy your videos and the knowledge you share.
People are bored and soaking in their own misery and just want company. Don't mind those idiots, in fact I can probably guess most if not all thumbs downs were by those who don't even own a s2000.
I'm from Canada and we don't have s2000 specialist shops so your video helps alot because I like to learn to do stuff on my own. Thank you so much for this awesome video.
Just watched this video to rebuild my S2 shifter and it’s even MORE like the buttery smooth shifter everyone talks about! That magic Urea grease is wonderful! Thanks for the tip John!
Just bought an s2000 after 20 years of wanting one. Heard so much about the shifter but was disappointed with mine. Did this rebuild and now it definitely lives up to the hype. Thank you for showing us how!
Hi John, just wanted to say thanks again for making this video. I did this to my S2000 today, I changed the spring as well, probably overkill but it was pretty cheap and I don't really intend doing it again so what the hell, let's be extravagant 😁. The tip for prising off the plastic collar was invaluable 👍. I possibly wouldn't have had the confidence to try this without a tutorial such as this, so a massive 👍 to you. PS I miss tech Wednesdays 😞.
I had done this before, but had used the wrong 'generic' grease, and slapped it places it shouldn't have been. Just followed this with the proper Honda grease and transformed the feel. Most appreciated!
Great video. Before I retired, I built, installed and serviced machinery and your attention to detail is spot on. Plus your detail regarding areas of possible wear or that may need maintenance is great. I have been a Honda owner for years, but now I want an S2000, based on your videos.
Thank you! Using these principles on my '08 Civic Si -- it's a little different in the specifics but very similar overall. I did this once before with a BMW 540i to install a short shifter but, ironically, the Honda is a good bit more mechanically complicated.
Hi John I watch your videos over here in the U.K. Followed the steps from your S2000 gear stick video this weekend, and it made a noticeably difference. Thanks.
Thank you so very much for all of your videos, I have placed my orders for parts and accessories. It’s nice to be able to dig into doing some of the repairs and have a very well done video to guide you through the process.
Just followed this to rebuild my shifter in my S2000. Thanks for the guide. Putting the three bolts back in was really hard, but I got them back eventually.
@@LHTPerformance I'm sure if I did as many as you guys, I wouldn't have much trouble. My next step is to follow your guide on changing the fluid in the transmission. Thanks again for your contributions to the S2000 community.
Very informative and well explained. You did a great job on this video. Please do more on the S2000. Don’t worry about the thumbs down. The math gives you 99% thumbs up rating. They are negative people and should be ignored. Thanks a for the video.
Work hard bro. I’m working 13 day weeks trying to get one by the time I’m 19 and only 2 months of saving I’m already over 1/3 of the way there. You can do it!
Thank you I enjoyed the relaxed descriptive video to watch before doing this service. I was able to clean and repack without changing the bushings. Because I watched your video I didn't break anything! It's a good time to do parking brake adjustment, while the center console is apart.
LOVE videos like this so I can continue learning about my car and how to fix/rebuild it. Thank you! I’m in Tampa so I’ll be down to see you soon...my 01 S is in need of some TLC so I’m hoping to restore it back to its former glory with your help (after I’ve saved responsibly). Again...love the vids!
Most informative easy too follow car vids I have come across too date. I wish you guys were in Australia I would bring my car and my life savings too you 😂 keep up the great work.
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. It gives me the confidence to rebuild my shifter. More power to you and your channel. I'll be ordering the parts today.
another great "how to" video John!!!...just ordered my components for this upgrade....can't wait to get to it over the next few weeks!!!!! thanks again!
holy shit! this video was so informative! I have this used f20c transmission I'm using for a swap but it was missing all the shifter components but after watching this video now I know what I need to get and what to replace. Thank you!
Hello LHT, first of all let me say I love you videos. I wish you guys were in montreal. I would totally trust you with my baby. That being said, I just used this video to help me re grease the shifter. I have some suggestion that I believe you really should add in a re edited version. The most difficult parts were omitted and really should be in there. I am no mechanic so what seems simple to you is not to me. I assume other regular people will appreciate a more detailed version . Please take this with my utmost respect for you guys. 1- removing the cage is not in there . I figured out that running hot water on the cage is the absolute best way to remove it. It make the plastic supple and it will require way less effort to remove. Also the hot water and some all purpose cleaner gets all the gunk off really well. Before the plastic cools down you can hold the tabs back down and then cool it quickly under cold water. This makes the cage regain it original tightness if you dont have a replacement. Dry it all off with a towel and let dry or blow dry on low setting before the fresh grease goes on. 2- the accordion rubber boot is out and cruddy, why not clean it all up and SHIN ETSU grease it for protection. Keeping it supple will prevent future possible tearing. 3- Bolting it all back down, this is a nightmare and super hard the way you explained it without showing it. The Secret to an easy reinstallation is to pull back the rubber completely back towards the tip of the shifter. Its will want to stay there thanks to the ribbed shape. Also, The bolts will want to fall out off the socket. Most of us dont have magnetic tools. Here I used a touch of silicone on the top of the 10mm screws. This keeps the screw on the socket while you align the metal triangular plate with the holes. 4- if you have a saggy leather shifter cover its a perfect time to fix it. Adding a few rubber washer O rings at the base of the locking nut will hold the cover closer to the knob. Also a good time to vacuum all the crap and apply a leather balm to the center tunnel before re installing it all. Thats it. Thanks for the content. Keep it up. P.S .I thumbs up all your videos
I found the trick was to shift into 2nd, hand tighten the top-right bolt. Then shift into 6th and do the top-left. Finally shift into 3rd and do the bottom bolt.
Thanks very informative and easy complete instructions. Just picked up an 09 s2k and noticed it has a bit of notch shifting. Will have to do this next weekend.
Finally got around to utilizing this tutorial. You are an awesome teacher as even I was able to complete this without a hitch thanks to the marvelous pointers. Many thanks John! Honda Amateur Don
Thanks for the video. Just did mine. The video didn’t show the tricky parts but to get the old plastic pieces off I used some channel locks to pry the ball off. The old plastic ball cracked but was still in one piece. For the carriage, I had to break it off with channel locks. I’d like to see how LHT gets the carriage off (I’m guessing their way wasn’t much more elegant since it wasn’t on video haha). Then to put the new carriage on I used a shop press and a deep well socket to press it on. It was probably overkill but I couldn’t get it to snap on by hand. I put the plastic ball on the same way John showed in the video.
I may do another video in this. We do so many I forget some have issues with it. With the right technique you push it off with two thumbs like a coke from a wine bottle.
Great tutorial although my shifter lever on my Uk 2009 doesn’t have the orientation as it’s straight, but I did put the plastic bushing with the edge facing forward!
Very good DIY video, one quick question. I've seen a few copper bushings for the S2k shifter, any thoughts on those? Wasn't sure the benefits of that over OEM. If there are any. Thanks!
I followed the instructions in the video paying close attention to the details. The car drives great in the forward 6 speeds, but I can not engage reverse. Any suggestions? Thanks for the informative video.
Just got this done yesterday night, thanks to your video for step by step. I replaced everything that I could since I was already in side. What's your option on the brass collars? I decided to go that way but still got the seat oem, and oem grease with boot and a new clip ring for boot.
@@ciscokid2444 We’re all about reliability and longevity. On a conservative tool, we usually run for 10 to 15 psi. We have done 20 to 22 psi on pump gas, however, however, I don’t think that’s long-term reliability. One of the reasons you don’t see any big horsepower builds from us.
I have 4 plugs on my 2000. One for the roof, one for the hazards, one for the alarm, and another one that wasnt connected but is with the oem harness. Its green and I think was an 8 prong or something. Whats that for?
What is the difference between honda urea grease and say lucas x-tra heavy duty grease which is a polyurea grease? I have managed to find out that polyurea greases do not mix with other kinds of grease (lithium grease for example) as they seem to break down and lose viscosity with the strong potential of running out from where they should be, causing catastrophic failure. By all accounts polyurea grease lasts 4 times longer than normal grease, has very high tolerance to water and remains soft (in other words doesn't dry out) ... So.. What is the difference between the honda and Lucas or any other polyurea grease apart from the astronomical cost of the honda stuff? Please forgive my ignorance, I'm not trying to be smart, I just can't stomache £20 on a tiny pot of grease regardless of how long it will last me.. Thanks and keep up the good work.. P.S. I think people dislike things because it's the only element of power that they have in their lives.. I'm sure it can happen accidentally too.. Just don't let it get to you.. I'm 4000 miles away in the U.K. and you are my go to s2000 channel.. So rest assured you guys are getting it right. Great content and perfect pace.. Thanks
Great demo...My shifter continues to the right when attempting to shift into 5th gear. Does this change out correct the miss shift problem? Once again thank you for posting. Greatly appreciated
Good morning John, how do you feel about replacing stock mount bushings with aftermarket reinforced ones? Does/should that improve shift precision? Thanks so much for another helpful video!!
I wish I'd have found this video before I replaced the middle console two weekends ago...now I have to force myself to tear it out again to do this. John, I have a weird rattling sound coming from my shifter at certain RPM's If I lay my arm on the shifter, it damps it considerably, but obviously I'd rather not do that. Do you know if this procedure will help this rattle, or is it something deeper in the transmission?
Please show us more must do maintainance things for s2000.
Man I appreciate all the tips! I've had my AP2 for almost a year, and had no idea that I was missing out. It was way more of an improvement than I was expecting. It almost feels like what i imagine a gated shifter would. Thanks for what you do!

Hey John, did you use the v-jaw pliers to remove the carriage @ 7:46? Or is there a specific technique you use?
