WTF... that sucks because I'm sure a clutch job from Acura isn't cheap :P... Guess it's time to tell your sis to upgrade that clutch and join HMT We could use a boosted RSX here.

the "service advisor" said that the s already has a heavy duty clutch. I would never bring it to the dealer for something like that anyway.... i could probably get it done for like 500 else where at least thats what it was for my e36 with a clutch kit....

You're going to take it to a shop? You took your old car to a shop?

i changed my clutch and flywheel in less than 8 hours, and a lot of beer was involved that day, it shouldnt be hard on that car. it dosent have rusty *** nuts and prob isnt too dirty under the hood. ---- for 1600+oem clutch cost you could get a badass carbon fiber drag clutch.

Pull her on it. I've got the room and the tools. You bring the beer though. We could have it done in a matter of a few hours(assuming you have opposable thumbs).

just leave it alone. Let her drive it for a month. Than drive her to get some food and be like 'what the ----, you clutch sucks, i think it's out. you need to get a new one' there you go she buy new clutch, you save your money. :P
