As a fellow s2000 owner, I had an extreme amount of satisfaction watching this lol.
awesome dude. this was the first thing i noticed when i picked up my S this week. Can't wait to do this
rip to that microfiber towel, poor thing.
Hi Josh, Your post inspired me to do this on my AP2. Couple of points to add to help others. The guy who said your stick boot was missing was correct. Someone had definitely been in there before and not replaced it. There was also a foam surround missing, which I took out (but replaced later) so it would not get grease on it. Following you video I removed the centre consul and disconnected the electrics. There is a corrugated rubber boot beneath the leather cover to keep crap put. The Honda engineers are great because it was dead simple to remove. They put 4 arrowheads on the circular plastic holding ring to show you where to prise it up and doing that carefully made it just pop out! Once removed there was a rubber cover over the three bolts. That pulled off easily with pliers. I then just undid the bolts leaving it in neutral and then into 3rd to get access to the last bolt. I put it back into neutral to get it out. It pulled up easily. Before taking off the plastic bits as per your method, I cleaned it all in white spirit. As pointed out by another commentor, there is a ridge on the front of the plastic bit which needs to be at 'the 12 o'clock' position. There is a groove in the metal gearbox casing for this to fit into. I reassembled it all in 'neutral' and once I'd remembered to put in the new spring it went in easily. Just reverse the procedure when reassembling all the bits. The whole thing took 90 minutes, start to finish.
But, oh! What a difference. It was always the only disappointment with my S2000, but it now drives just like everyone says it should. Without doubt the S2000 is one of the best kept motoring secrets ever! 👍
The best diy I've ever seen, thanks for sharing.
haha dude this video is sick, I like your style, definitely subscribing and taking on this maintenance item
Dope watching you bro. Keep it coming
clutch fluid gets trashed in these cars quick. eliminate all linkage free play in your clutch for better disengagement as well. awesome video, I'll be greasing mine soon!
Awesome. Thanks so much for doing this.
I thought this music sounded familiar lol. Good video man.
Awesome vid! Just subbed. I really wanted a GPW but couldn't find one so I went with a NFR.
Thanks for the video man
Thanks for the video. I think that’s what ima do next.
Great vid!
I like the two tone seats and doors
Great vid., I actually did this recently before watching your video and it made a huge difference. SIDE NOTE - The shifter rod has a black rubber bushing that goes over it (I think yours is missing) held in by a white plastic ring/collar. BUY THAT! It makes shifting much more firm any gives it a click-in feel. Your shifter has way too much play right now compared to mine (although i'm sure it's feels than before). Cheers
Hi, do you have a part number for the ring you are mentioning?
I agree, his has too much play when in neutral. The rubber with the white plastic ring gives it some rigidly cause the rubber holds the shaft
Nice video bro. I think im gonna do this next week.
Thanks man! :)
That glove box is a storage for e juice. Exactly the same 😎
Very nice
great diy should be mentioned tho if you replace he small plastic piece at the bottom make sure if hanging towards the passenger side if its towards the driver side your reverse gear lockout will not work and car can go into reverse without being stopped
but what happen if my car is right hand drive?? still toward passenger seat??
you should be fine just make sure your upper shifter plastic joint is put in the right way if flipped backwards you get no reverse lockout even though the upper plastic looks the same i does have groove on one side for the lockout
Liked the video. Bought all those parts cuz why not its only $50
That MCM music....
#solid job
great vid :) but i see you installed one of the pieces in the wrong orientation (the piece that you thought you needed 3 of AKA the cover pivot). but obviously you fixed it cuz it wouldn't have fit if u didn't flip it around
Does this improve the notchiness when going into second in ap1s or is that just down to the synchros?
good job....
I didn't see you remove or reinstall the boot that's supposed to go around the lever and snap into the trans tunnel, I'm assuming whoever was in there before forgot to put it back. That would explain how all the dirt got in there and ruined the bushings, which made your shifts harder. Better order the boot and install it ASAP or you'll be prematurely wearing out all the parts you just changed out. Nice vid by the way!
Honda high temp grease, might as well be k-y jelly for ur car baby!!
How much for all those parts I want to do mine as well mine is a 2001 nice vid btw
My shifting is getting rougher, needs more force. will this fix it or do I need new trasmission fluid? (Fluid has 40k km's)
you got the item numbers for the 3 things you replaced?
there is supposed to be a big white plastic ring that you take off first.
will lithium high temp grease work well too ?
what site did you guys buy the part from? hondapartsnow doesn't have the spring and no eta on when its coming back in stock.
Doing thos ASAP THANKS
Damn, my shift lever has less than half the wiggle yours has. Definitely looks like you over greased, but I wouldn't really worry about it
what is that green gel u put around your shift arm??
what intake/exhaust are you running?
Great video man. How many miles did the car have?
I bought it at 135k, it now has 149k
When shes not ready but you are.. 5:20
Where did you get the replacement kit?
how much did this set you back in parts cost?
So is this when it starts to feel like there is a gate before 3rd gear or do i need to change the syncro, because i did scheduled a date for it to be fixed
Xtraordinary XTD same things happening to my ap1 and that's exactly what I'm wondering
Xtraordinary XTD I have a K24 trans and I’m having trans issues with gears locking out too. I know it’s the synchros going out because if it does go into gear, half of the time, it feels notchy or wants to grind.
Did you buy all oem parts? I'm thinking about doing this for my s. You have the part number? And what grease is that?
Darkmand8
Grease: OE Genuine Honda Hi-Temp Urea Grease
Lever Push Spring: 54117-S2A-003
Change Lever Ball Seat: 54110-S2A-003
Pivot Cover: 54111-S2A-003
what is this procedure called? i need to get this shit done pronto!
Did it say in the manual to grease the outside of the SEAT, CHANGE LEVER BALL? I feel like you might have over greased some parts.
I may have over greased.
what shift knob is this?
I'm having a problem with this, I just replaced all parts but when replacing shifter my gears go in really bad, and it is not normal at all I followed everything here but still nothing :(
dipchit83 there's a number of things that can be effecting the issue. Do you have any specific issues? I went as far as replacing the master and slave for my clutch along with the pressure plate, friction disc, and throw out bearing. That's where most of my issues were resolved. This was something I wanted to do first as it is quick and easy.
Where did you get the refurb kit from, nice job.
Cover, Pivot - 54111-S2A-003
Spring, Lever Push - 54117-S2A-003
Seat, Change Lever Ball - 54110-S2A-003
is it stiffer? mines quite stiff anyways 117k miles... hmmm.. or is it smoother as in easier to drop in gear... i have to use quite amount of force to change...
I had just changed the master and slave recently, and this was kindof an after thought. But it was a big difference. Changing the master and slave really made the bigger differences, but this surprised me.It feels like the previous owners took it to the track frequently. I'd say just do it, you're not hurting anything and it doesn't take long
That white ball that you snapped off the shifter, what is the honda part number for it?
***** No man not yet :|

Are you from Houston ?
süper.
It can't be a 2003. It has no center console leather or door tweeters :P
center console leather/tweeters is on the ap2. 2004+
+[HOON] STREET I have a 2003 ap1 it has leather center and door tweeters.
my 03' has the leather center console and tweeters... oh and can't forget the glass rear windshield :P
y'all dumb. lots of people put ap2 parts on their ap1. actually don't know about the tweeters but the leather is on later models. glass rear window on the soft top came on the 2003+ or maybe 02+
Leather came out in 02', as well as tweeters and updated soft top. I think I would know since I was in the market for an ap1 for an entire summer; no need get offensive.
Liked because 2SEXY soundtrack.
Yesssss!!!
Where do you find the Spring? I've found all the other components but can't find the spring
Nicholas Fernandez here you go. www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/cart part names are in the description. I'm ordering now
Devil Sephiroth Thank you for the reply. Very much appreciated
how much did you pay for it
I did this today and now when I go to reverse i don't have to press the shifter down anymore to go into reverse. did you have that same problem when putting the shifter back in?
Same for me, did you figure out how to solve the problem ? :D
onboardaddicts Yes i did. i installed the plastic cover on the wrong way. Try switching the white plastic cover around and make sure the shifter is in the right way as well
Thank ! It was exactly that :) The shifter was in the wrong position because I did not put the plastic cover in the right way... I should have looked better at that damn plastic cover ^^'
onboardaddicts Yeah perfect. Enjoy your car!
that commentary lol
Use Amsoil synchromesh, it will shift like butter.
Noted. Just replaced it with Honda mtf. I'm not really a fan of it, will try that out, thanks man
+Josh Poore yeah I put Honda mtf in mike and my friends ap2 and both cars hated it. I've used Amsoil for nearly 7 years now in both of my s2000's I'll never switch.
WTF i want this BOOK!!!! Where are you buy this S2000 book???
AdvanTrack there might still be copies on amazon, search workshop manual
You can purchase those on eBay for $60 or so. There's also a searchable-PDF version you can get for $25.
I thought about getting that book, but just ended up buying Alldatadiy.com for like $15/year for both my S2000 and STI. The online version makes it easy to navigate to exactly what you're looking for.
You can get a free pdf version online.
Your handbrake is way to high on full lock, from 5clicks the wheels should stop spinning, and 7clicks is the normal "max" height, Ps, Ive done this renewall to, i love the S way more now!
Im on an inclined driveway and it'll roll if its anything less than max. lol
i had the same, just wind the nut under the middle console ;)
Your shits hella salv ma nigga
lube
ap1 : 00'-03' ap2 : 04'-07'
master mind what about '08 & '09?
OG Priest Killa Ap2 CR
I always forget AP1 is getting old...
what part of texas!!!
San Antonio!
im from houston not to far away!!!
+kuntrebo1 yeah not too far! I'm in Colorado at the moment for the weekend. Drove the s2k out here. It took me 16 hours lol. Not a bad car to commute in. Wouldn't do it again tho
Lol! any more car vids coming soon?
On pay day ill be getting a new VTEC solenoid and tensioner. Might make a video on those
Man this poor car!
No offence, but you wasted money there. All you needed to do was degrease/clean all the parts and apply new grease. Done this already to mine and worked a charm. Nothing wrong with those plastic parts.
I believe there was something wrong with the ball part. It was way too brittle and soft compared to the newer part. You're most likely right with s2000s that aren't that old. Like I said though, this was just simple preventive maintenance.
+Josh Poore mine is a 2002 S2K, but fair enough. No harm in giving the S2K extra love but just saying you may have spent a bit too much for the same resolve ☺. Let the Honda gods keep our cars alive!
