Said it before I’ll say it again, you all are the staple for how other shops should operate. Very transparent, great service and oh yeah, kick ass videos 🤙🏼😎
Another great LHT S2000 video.. my day just got way better!!!
Derrick Zimny Thanks buddy. 👍🏻
This is my car! It's surreal finally getting to see it in one of your videos getting some LHT TLC lol. Was awesome getting to meet you guys!
P.S. I bought that bearing release guide because of your videos so you can take credit for that too!
oxeclean8 you didn’t want to upgrade to the ap1 flywheel?
oxeclean8 Thanks for the business. I’m sure the car felt much better with the new parts. 👍🏻
@@Romee_rome I did consider it but decided to stay ap2 flywheel because the car is a daily driver and I didn't want to have to deal with having to rev the car out more in traffic or any issues with possible stalling from idle drop. That and I figured Honda's engineers knew what they were doing when they made the decision to add a CDV and go with a heavier flywheel. If the car was more of a track car I would probably have gone with an ap1 or other lightweight flywheel.
@@LHTPerformance Absolutely. Shifts like butter.
oxeclean8 Awesome! So glad to hear it.
Its 3am and Im drunk and binge watching all of your videos.
Would be nice to see more vlogs, if you can squeeze them in. I generally hate vlogs but I enjoy yours.
@Sideways G haha yes, i like to have car videos playing in the background whenever im in the garage and find myself becoming more intrigued by the people over time.
I really like channels like Roadkill, Smoking Tire, etc. Would definitely watch non-car related vlogs by those guys too. Even sober haha
I was just thinking to myself earlier today man im having lht withdrawals its been days. Always look forward to the next video
As a mechanic myself.. I can say I disagree on the test drive scenario, you just did a big service to a s2000 I would put more that a driveways worth of a test drive on the clutch. Make sure there are no noises. Obviously if you do the job right you shouldnt have an issue, but nobody is perfect. I love all the content you guys do. But even after I do a brake job on a vehicle I drive it for a couple miles and make sure everything is perfect. Like you guys I am very careful and give every car i work on my own TLC and treat every car like it is my own. Just my opinion! Keep up the good work though. On a side note I just wanna say sometimes after I finish a car, I think to myself "John would be proud of my TLC". :-)
WOW! You the man! You guys are awesome! Love all ur videos!
I'm a simple man, I see an S2000 and I like the video.
When you care so much about the cars you work on... You don't forget about the car. "I'm John, that's George... that's an S2000." 😅👌
Love all of your videos, I know you always put a little bit of useful info in each video. It would be super cool if you had like a list of all those things for the s2k in 1 video so people don't have to dig back thru all the previous video for it.
Love the S2000s you work on. Would love to own one some day 😀.
I have my first gen ap2 supercharged at 360WHP to the wheel with a Science of Speed Sports Clutch, and, By God, it is amazing. 7 years on and it is amazing. I have to disagree with you in the stock clutch vs the science of speed sports clutch. Clutch feel is exactly like stock and it can hold up to about i believe 450 whp.
S2000 is life
Good stuff! Always learn something new
That has to be the cleans fluid you guys have changed on a transmission yet.
Great guys and great work
Great video. Thanks.
"I'm John, that's George, that's an s2000" lmaooooo
+1 the oem clutch is the best for the s2000
the diff is very vulnerable
shibbi972 If you don’t beat in it there’s no issues.
I can't wait to get under my S2000 this PM to swap that gearbox :D
"Another car comes out and gets into an altercation with your car." Like there's gangs of cars or something lol. Wanting to fight haha. I know what you mean about if something were to happen, that was just funny to me.
Wish you guys were in Los Angeles area
Lol, hey fellow Angeleno. Me too. Me too...
Ray97 we’re at SEMA in Vegas every year, that’s pretty close 😉
Who ever drinks the ice coffee. Try this.. order a ‘grande ice coffee w/ 3 sweet n low and extra creme’.... please try it. You’ll like it.. promise
Lo Saelee For sure. Thanks.
My Honda has a Non OEm Clutch fitted before i brought it see how long it last wish they fitted OEM as know in 1 to 2 yeahs i be in there
Hey @LHTPerformance could you please inform us about the specs of the wheels of this silver S2000? Great content! I love your videos,I think I'm addicted! Keep up the good work to impress us with your new ideas and educating us! Best wishes from a Greek LHT fan!
Great explanation. Do you recommend a starter clutch kit for my boosted rsx? Looking to add 150 hp nothing big. I have a feeling my stock setup may not be able to handle the extra power for long. Keep the videos coming.
You guys should show more of the process, like maybe tips on how to remove the top starter bolt without breaking the fucking knock sensor (I even removed the tensioner and alternator!!!).
How do you guys always know when I’m on lunch break? Thanks for posting!
dasspr Lol. You’re welcome 😉
Hey lht quick question what's the best way to take out a motor on s2000 drop the subframe or from up top
what would be the break in method for the s2000. how many miles? what rpms should you stay at?
does S2000 have Asbestos in their OEM clutch or brake pads?
Hi! Did you lower the subframe in order to remove the transmission?
That was really the only reason I clicked on this video. I wish they would have went more in depth.
Same. Have you all found an easier way of doing this job? I've heard dropping the subframe isn't necessary but it could be bs.
You guys need a pneumatic transmission jack.
JAM4382 Then we would skip leg day 🤣🤣
Waiting patiently for the next NSX vid
Topp Notch Soon. The charge pipes are done. Trying to find time to build the titanium exhaust next.
LHTPerformance hell yeah
How far does the steering shaft spline's have to go in the joint that comes off the rack?,hope I said that in a way that you can understand me!lol
I know what you meant, It goes in around 25mm.
@@LHTPerformance Thanks for the quick response, pretty sure I'll be good, you guy's keep up the great work!
drama vs reality, They have seasoned mechanics that work on American muscle struggling with complex Japanese cars.
How much do you guys charge to replace my s2k transmission because I blew it up
LTH both you guys.can you'll see yourself's doing this kind of work at your 60's
At 4:26, what's the name of that piece? I'm changing my clutch soon and will like to buy that piece. Thanks
We have them in the LHT Store
Why because LHT IS THE BEST ! Why wouldn’t you go to them lol. ❤️🔥.
Btw I just called no Answer.
Omar_ap2_rio Esther is here 9:30 to 2:30. The phone rings a thousand times a day. I wouldn’t get anything don’t if I got on the phone. 🤔
LHTPerformance 10-4 brother totally understand. I’ll give a call tomorrow for sure. Thanks John ✊🏽
I emailed about a week ago after you posted tlc video. Still waiting for reply know your a busy shop. How long is the wait right now for tlc and clutch install?
Chris Smith Esther can usually fit you in between jobs. Right now for big jobs we’re a few months out
@@LHTPerformance thanks for fast response yea just small jobs before supercharger. Seen in previous videos you have a body shop close you use? Whoever did body work on mine messed up the trunk. There's more gap on left side leaks under heavy water I just gutted it because of it
Call your Snap-on guy, and ask him to quote you on a TJA100 Trans Jack
I already have high monthly payments on the NSX, i don't need anything Snap On....
Do you guys replace all the bolts for the clutch and flywheel as well?
jchi778 No. there’s nothing wrong with the factory bolts.
I would replace all the
Used flywheel and pressure plate bolts to new OEM ones when replacing new clutch kit
Paolo Inigo Honda doesn’t call for replacing them. We’ve installed 100s of clutch’s and never replaced them either. No sense in giving the customer unnecessary additional expenses
Hows changing the input shaft seal on the ap2? Got a leak in the bell housing from it I beleive
Do you guys always recommend replacing the flywheel or can you resurface the flywheel and reuse it?
Mario Martinez If it’s an AP1 flywheel I would recommend re surfacing it. AP2 I would recommend our flywheel
LHTPerformance thanks for the info
That explain why my s2000 has thunk when I press the clutch in.
Andres Ramos That’s usually the cause, could also be the master cylinder. Grease the slave cylinder where it meets the folk ( behind the rubber boot ) first.
@@LHTPerformance I am going to find out if Eshter can squeeze me in for a new soft top. I got a big plastic hole.
Andres. Did you try the grease on the fork? If so did it fix anything ? Cheers!
Not yet, just time issue to do everything I need. Besides I have a leaky clutch master cylinder too,
@@deathofakitty mine was leaking and I've just changed it. Doesn't feel any different on the pedal since. But I hear It can make a big difference sometimes
is the diff fluid 75w 90 or 75w 140
75W 140. I wrote it down wrong.
Can I get a thumbs up for John and LHT to do a live Q&A session
Please HONDA, bring back the S2K!!!
Would you recommend replacing a main seal (no leak) while changing clutch for high mileage S2000 (230k miles)?
Gi Yoon Well, based on the miles it’s debatable. Honda’s take is , if there’s no sign of leak or damage , leave it. The problem is , the seal actually wears a groove in the crank, often changing the seal could cause a leak unless the seal is positioned in a different spot.
I’d change all the seals under the car when the tranny is exposed just to save the time, money and you know you’re covered esp when you bought the S2000 used then start from there. 👍🏼
While u in there parts never hurt old OEM for New OEM
Paolo Inigo Good idea. Thx. I think LHT can change the seal without any issue (people either scratch block or improperly install) as I trust them. Btw, I got my S2k new in 04.
Gi Yoon congrats with your 04 AP2. It’s a fun car to drive and it’s better to drive on the track.
Wish I would of watched this long ago.😂
Hi John
My S2000 has a notchy feeling going into 3rd, when cold or hot. Its like you have to pause then push again to get lever into the gate.
I've replaced the tranny fluid, replaced clutch fluid, replaced clutch master, regreased shifter and adjusted clutch freeplay.
The car is nearing 100k miles, could this be a clutch issue? Another suggestion i had was a lack of grease on the gearbox splines?
Great content as ever, keep it up!
Mine has this problem. I've also just done the clutch master. And now the clutch has started slipping. So hopefully the new clutch will sort it. About do sort out the shifter while I'm waiting for the clutch to be done. Let us know if you find out what it was else!
U said everyone was having hard time to take the gearbox out, and it is easier if u do it your way, but yet u don't show us how to take the bolts your way
And u dont even show us how to install the clutch and flywheel, u completely skipped that part
@@hks071 If your competent enough to drop the transmission ( gear box) the clutch and flywheel is a no brainer ( doodle).
My S2K driver fender looks worse than his. Thanks for the show.
Ya'll kill me! @ 9:15.
ya'll drink a lot of $7 dollar coffee.
$4 coffee. lol.
Another S2000 clutch. 😴........
ainzy23 OK , I’ll delete the video and film something that’s not here. Lol.
LHTPerformance love you guys! Just busting your chops. I figured I’d speak for you guys too. How many clutches have you done John?
ainzy23 On S2000s alone we’ve done about 150.
LHTPerformance that is impressive! Love the videos and will continue to watch. Pretty cool you reach out to your audience like this. Have a great day.
ainzy23 Thanks buddy. As you have figured, out audience are considered friends. I truly believe that 98% are cool people and we’d get along.
