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 🤙🏼😎

[@derrickzimny7964]

Another great LHT S2000 video.. my day just got way better!!!

[@LHTPerformance]

Derrick Zimny Thanks buddy. 👍🏻

[@oxeclean8]

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!

[@Romee_rome]

oxeclean8 you didn’t want to upgrade to the ap1 flywheel?

[@LHTPerformance]

oxeclean8 Thanks for the business. I’m sure the car felt much better with the new parts. 👍🏻

[@oxeclean8]

@@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.

[@oxeclean8]

@@LHTPerformance Absolutely. Shifts like butter.

[@LHTPerformance]

oxeclean8 Awesome! So glad to hear it.

[@Bryan-kl5rr]

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.

[@Bryan-kl5rr]

@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

[@gimmethecarkeys]

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". :-)

[@littleredsport5806]

I was just thinking to myself earlier today man im having lht withdrawals its been days. Always look forward to the next video

[@task5147]

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." 😅👌

[@PwrofDreams2000]

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.

[@NGAAutoTV]

Love the S2000s you work on. Would love to own one some day 😀.

[@illestFlavor]

S2000 is life

[@j.lrx7559]

That has to be the cleans fluid you guys have changed on a transmission yet.

[@erict8600]

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.

[@camlobesvtec]

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.

[@mickeyhartsell6096]

WOW! You the man! You guys are awesome! Love all ur videos!

[@robertramos6638]

I'm a simple man, I see an S2000 and I like the video.

I can't wait to get under my S2000 this PM to swap that gearbox :D

[@ronaldvanwooning2531]

Hi! Did you lower the subframe in order to remove the transmission?

[@michaelburket9024]

That was really the only reason I clicked on this video. I wish they would have went more in depth.

[@stevensalcedo4910]

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.

[@katgon8845]

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!

[@frostyflowers4207]

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

[@Perfectionyx]

At 4:26, what's the name of that piece? I'm changing my clutch soon and will like to buy that piece. Thanks

[@LHTPerformance]

We have them in the LHT Store

[@bryancavalcanti750]

what would be the break in method for the s2000. how many miles? what rpms should you stay at?

[@jasonhyde4673]

"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.

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

[@LHTPerformance]

I know what you meant, It goes in around 25mm.

[@Luisr777]

Hey lht quick question what's the best way to take out a motor on s2000 drop the subframe or from up top

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

does S2000 have Asbestos in their OEM clutch or brake pads?

[@Holla28]

Waiting patiently for the next NSX vid

[@LHTPerformance]

Topp Notch Soon. The charge pipes are done. Trying to find time to build the titanium exhaust next.

[@Holla28]

[@VirtualGuth]

Great video. Thanks.

[@leov36]

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!!!).

[@MarioMartinez-yf3iq]

Do you guys always recommend replacing the flywheel or can you resurface the flywheel and reuse it?

[@LHTPerformance]

Mario Martinez If it’s an AP1 flywheel I would recommend re surfacing it. AP2 I would recommend our flywheel

[@MarioMartinez-yf3iq]

LHTPerformance thanks for the info

[@michaelphan6204]

How much do you guys charge to replace my s2k transmission because I blew it up

[@jchi778]

Do you guys replace all the bolts for the clutch and flywheel as well?

[@LHTPerformance]

jchi778 No. there’s nothing wrong with the factory bolts.

[@mushy18100]

I would replace all the Used flywheel and pressure plate bolts to new OEM ones when replacing new clutch kit

[@LHTPerformance]

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

[@olderrol1968]

LTH both you guys.can you'll see yourself's doing this kind of work at your 60's

[@area859]

Hows changing the input shaft seal on the ap2? Got a leak in the bell housing from it I beleive

[@2CrazEy1]

Lol, hey fellow Angeleno. Me too. Me too...

[@LHTPerformance]

Ray97 we’re at SEMA in Vegas every year, that’s pretty close 😉

[@giyoon215]

Would you recommend replacing a main seal (no leak) while changing clutch for high mileage S2000 (230k miles)?

[@LHTPerformance]

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.

[@mushy18100]

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. 👍🏼

[@frostyflowers4207]

While u in there parts never hurt old OEM for New OEM

[@giyoon215]

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.

[@mushy18100]

Gi Yoon congrats with your 04 AP2. It’s a fun car to drive and it’s better to drive on the track.

[@JH-qw2jx]

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!

[@rossbats]

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!

[@jameswiedman8379]

Wish I would of watched this long ago.😂

[@bjornmuskus634]

Ya'll kill me! @ 9:15.

[@deathofakitty]

That explain why my s2000 has thunk when I press the clutch in.

[@LHTPerformance]

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.

[@deathofakitty]

@@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
