Didn't even know this was a thing!
Such solid content for S2000 owners.
Thanks!
I got out of my daily driver 98’ civic and went inside, I needed to take my trash to the curb so I went back out side and my tail lights were on…checked fuses, lights and nothing and then I found this video, I disconnected my battery went to my auto store in my other car and in less than 5 minutes I was fixed! Thank you!
Thanks again for all the help you provide to us s2000 owners.
I replaced the clutch switch (aka starter and not the one this video displays) pedal stop on a work colleague’s S2000 2 days ago. I know some people had success replacing the pad by sliding it in with their fingers (I’m not as flexible lol) or using a nut/bolt substitute or even doing the popular paperclip jump technique, but I found the less frustrating way is just to remove the seat for more space and then removing the pedal assembly and reinstalling the peg. I knocked it out in about an hour’s time.
TL:DR - Remove 4 bolts and harness from seat. Remove seat. 3 nuts in total to remove pedal assembly. Change peg and reinstall assembly. Wam bam thank you ma’am.
Jaylom So it sounds like you need a total of 4 rubber stoppers to change out everything? 1) brake pedal stopper, 2) clutch pedal stopper, 3) clutch safety switch, 4) cruise switch ? Is this all the same part number for the stoppers and am I missing something? Thanks
I’m pretty sure there are only 3 stoppers.
There are 3. To get to the clutch stop you need to take out the clutch pedal assy
Soft top replacement? I know there’s some out there already but you explain things perfectly and keep it simple.
Found plastic in the floor board and looked around but didn’t immediately notice anything. About a month later i come across this vid and sure enough it was a clutch pedal stop. Shout out yall for this one
I was in the road when mine broke, i crimped a beer bottle cap on. Still works 4 years now lol
I used a penny. The most value I ever got from one.
I used a golf tee and works perfectly for 4 years too loo
Thank you!!
Was losing my mind trying to figure out why the brake lights wouldn't go off. Quick fix... I grabbed the one from the clutch and jammed it into the brake pedal. Now I have to find these parts, because both crumbled!!
Didn't realize you threw a link to Amazon. Thanks. Saved me a lot of money and time, I appreciate you posting this, I'm now a subscriber!!
Love your channel bro, best information and tutorials I’ve ever seen for an s2000. Thanks for taking the time to make them
This just happened to my 96 Civic hatch. I was stumped as to why my brake lights were on. I did see pieces of blue rubber on the floor. Dead giveaway. Also happened to my clutch making the car not want to start. But turned out it needed a new switch as well. Good video. 👍
How did you get the clutch stopper in? It’s difficult to put in for my ek hatch too
I found the opposite that the clutch was easy but the break is impossible to get enough clearance to fit in my 98 integra
So helpful, just replaced mine. Makes a big difference
There are 3 of the same clip Part Number:46505-SA5-000
2 on the clutch pedal assembly, one for cruise and the other for clutch position for starting the car.
1 on the brake pedal for brake lights.
There's also 2 seperate clips for the accelator which can also cause 00-05 cars to not have cruise control
Part Number 1: 46505-SA7-000 This is what your pedal hits when you let it fly back.
Part Number 2: 17819-S2A-A01 This is what "pulls" your pedal when you engage cruise
Hope this helps someone.
Also a video on bypassing the clutch interlock bypass would be nice, especially if you can show how to wire it so you must be on the brakes like the UK cars to start JUST in case someone does a dumb. This is useful for reducing the load on the trust bearing when starting. A necessity for those who have upgraded pressure plates or clutches. Only US cars have this
Great explanation! This just broke on my 2004 Honda CRV. I will be fixing tomorrow when part is delivered from amazon! Thanks for video taping! Now if I could just figure out what the black rail on top of the car is called and where to purchase a new one. It came lose and lost screw and now another part has flung off into the wind......I would call it car molding and the beginning of a luggage rack.....as there is an identical one on the other side of the car......so I will keep searching. I would say that is the hardest part of car repair is the diagnosing and then figuring out what they call the part. Thanks again!
Short but packed with useful information
Thanks from AUSTRALIA your videos are the best. ..
Thanks for the kind words.
thank you so much! mine on the clutch pedal was missing on my 99 integra :)
VERY HELPFUL and Straight forward VIDEO! thank you and more power!!!!
nicee, i couldnt be bothered going to the store to find a plug. just got a little rubber door stopper thing and superglued it on. wonder how long itll last😂
Thanks for the info! I was wondering why my s2k’s cruise control would kick off while driving.
Jus my checked my CR, thanks for the super quick tip! Any chance you’ll be making a rear wheel bearing replacement video soon?
No plans at this moment
This video confirms my issue thanks 🙏🏻
Exactly what's going on with mine will be so excited to have cruise control back
Mine went out after a weekend in the mountains. Universal push pins that are hard plastic push into place in a pinch. I used the two spare tire cover pins to get me home with cruise control and not kill my battery.
It would be nice to have some Delrin pieces though.
Yes, happened to me. Took clutch pedal assy out and replaced all 3. Had to remove seat to make room for me under the dash.
Thank you! Liked the video super easy fix!!
Before you said this I never knew great topic 👍
Do accelerators have similar rubber stops?
Thank you. Very helpful ❤
You of course showed the 2 easy ones, the brake and the one that indicates that your clutch is out. But what about the one that activates the lockout switch to keep the starter from engaging unless the clutch is pushed in. I want to see someone replace that one, it is ungetatable not really a word but says it all. I gave up and wired the connection so it allows the starter be be engaged at anytime.
Could you make a video on the clutch pedal one ? I ended up jumping the harness.
Do you mean the clutch pedal interlock switch?
Most auto part stores sell pedal stops, but they are not rubber. They seem to be a composite plastic and they take a ton of pressure to push them in place...they have no give. Make sure you buy a rubber material for a brake pedal stop
Just to mention, there are 2 clutch pedal position switches, one on the bottom is for cruise control and the second one on top is for ecu
I would love to see a wheel hub/ stud replacement video
Noted
Thank you! I have never known about this.
This was the same problem in my car as well. Dealer wanted $500 to diagnose the problem. If your car is over 20 years old, check this first!!!
Thank you again u are a s2000 guru
hopefully you have an s2000.
when your abs kicks in do you get alot of pedal pulsation + da da da da da
i remember i used to be able to hit the breaks so hard it would crack your passengers back. then i switched to ceramic brakes [less dust worst performance]
is it shit tires+pads+shit road OR is something wrong with my car?
@@wolu9456 maybe its your abs system, but I would check the simple stuff first. Did U recently do your brakes? Do your lines have air in them? If not check to see that Your rotors aren’t messed up and uneven caused by running worn out brake pads and them eating into the rotor. Then check and make sure u have brake fluid, is your brake light popping up in your dash board ? If it is could be low on fluid. Do the simple checks U can do yourself then if u can’t figure it out take it to a mechanic U trust. Yeah I have a s2k too
Since there is another pedal stop for the clutch safety switch, can that be installed without taking whole clutch pedal out too?
Honda 46505-SA5-000 or Dorman Accelerator/Brake Pedal Stop Pad 74015. FLAPS had them in stock.
Very helpful. Thanks for this
Could you please make a video about the EPS Torque Sensor regrease and the EPS reset?
Noted. A lot of people have been asking about this. I’ll need to break down the issue for my self once and then do it again to fill it.
Is this a thing for most Honda / Acura
I just realized the gas pedal
has a stopper as well...but it’s a different part number (46505-SA7-000). Should this be swapped out while we’re at it?
Bro are you a gymnast? How did you get all the way in the footwell like that? Trying this fix now and it's CRAMPED up in there.....
Wow this happened to me when I first got my s2k, took me forever to find out the problem
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, my brake one just broke down on me, had the extra one on my cup holder after 5 months
2 part question here. Is the layout the same on the AP2 regarding the same approach as in the video?
2nd question: what camera are you using for this video? It is damn good quality. TIA
1. Yes 2. I’m using my iPhone 11 Pro :)
Another great video
Thanks!
Thank you for this vid!!
Have you ever heard a winding noise or coins chattering noise at certain rpms (2500-3900) when you are not accelerating or decelerating? I hear this in mine and I notice when it makes the noise it goes away when I press the clutch peddle, or even just slight pressure on the peddle. I think it might be the tension spring that pulls the peddle back up or a component that holds the tension spring in place, but when I inspected it nothing looked broken or worn.
had a 4runner feel like it wanted to shake apart at certain rpm with light application of gas.
it was bad u-joint.
freaking weirdest thing bc i thought it was the engine. some weired ecu predetonation shit
edit: did you figure it out? what was it?
@@wolu9456 Yes I figured it out. It's clutch chatter. Turns out to be very common, but not something to worry about.
Good to know
Mine is broken and it drained my battery a little bit but can it cause my car not to start?
kind of a long shot but i recently found out my engine is blown so if you could make an engine swap vid that would be v nice
Will probably never happen. It’s super complicated and hard to remember the right steps to do in which order
DIYGuys it’s ok I got rogue Motorsport to do it for me :)
Thanks
Anytime
this happened on my Civic before and it drained my battery, i used a zip tie as a subsitute
Make a vid about electric steering problems bro..
Anything in particular? I haven't really had much electric steering issues myself.
I have heavy steering when I turn left, only at low speed,I had checked the torque sensor and it is good, maybe it's steering ecu fault..
@@DIYGuysvideo my power steering wigs out sometimes when it's cold. apparently cleaning/regreasing the power steering torque sensor will fix it. we need a DIY dad
@@RayvstheWorld what do you mean wig out? I'm picturing it doing a death wobble. I thought I've felt my steering bind and not want to turn. My s2k has under 40k miles I'm wondering if it's from sitting? My friends s2k's steering is heavy all the time. I agree we need a video.
@@wrenchaholic_ occasional heavy steering and wobble. I mostly see it when it's cold. not as bad as I've read in other people's cars but definitely something to be fixed.
👍👍👍👍👍
What about the rubber bumper that your clutch pedal slams against when you bottom it out?
You referring to the clutch interlock switch?
@@DIYGuysvideo The rubber bumper that goes on the firewall, that stops the clutch pedal from making a metal clang when it bottoms out. Just in case anyone needs it, the part number is 75891-611-000, works like a charm, but it's on back order.
@@DIYGuysvideo I just bypassed mine. Getting up in there is a PITA, easier to remove the pedal, which is itself a ripe ol pain. So I just jumped it. I switched out the other ones because I like my battery to not drain, and cruise control is ok.
@@rolandotillit2867 I'm going to look into how hard it is to remove the pedal. If it isn't too bad I'll film it and revise this video to install all 3 pedal stops :)
I cant get mine to go in the hole!! Help!!!! Not sure if its the right size! Why dont they just make it metal why plastic?!?! Ugh!!!
I just used a zip tie.
That’s works I guess lol
5th Gen Preludes have this issue as well.
Has anyone had driveline vibrations? My 02 S2000 briefly vibrates when the a/c compressor cycles on with transmission in neutral.and when backing or engaging the clutch in 1st gear. The mounts looked ok when I did a clutch kit this year and the vibration was there before and after.
Sounds like a potential idle issue. Try the IACV clean. I have a video on it.
Thanks DIY Guy, I’ll check out your IACV video. I’m reasonably sure it’s a vibration from engine or transmission mounts or possibly the exhaust system. The noise only happens with the engine running and slight torque being applied, by a/c compressor or light clutch engagement. The s2000 idles and run great otherwise.
@@paulwooden That's a weird one I'm not sure.
Good one
Here's 10 cents worth of advice: duck tape a dime in place of the stops. Have mine for years now. 👍
I gotta try this for a temporary fix to keep my battery from dying lol.
That's why my cruise control doesn't work.... thanks!
Lol, mine broke while I was in school, replaced it with some tape and a penny
S2000 suddenly won't start, won't even try. Look for little bits of plastic on the driver's floor mat.
That is your clutch switch bumper stop.
Took me two days of googling getting a new switch and connecting and disconnecting my battery so it would die to figure out this little piece of plastic was missing. It was a pain to get to too. I saved a lot of money by not taking it to the dealership and be charged a stupid amount of money
I think this has happened to my Subaru Impreza.
Mine are still good after 17yrs
Mine were too, until I ended up 200 miles away from home without cruise control 😂
find and replace quick, or you kill the battery at wast money 😂
Hey you missed the starter button stop!!!!!!! There's 3 not 2!!!!!
Ah yes, good point. Thats the clutch interlock switch. If that pedal stop is broken it will your car from cranking. If you need to replace it I think you need to completely unbolt the clutch assembly since it is impossible to reach. For this reason, most people just end up bypassing the clutch interlock switch entirely.
I’ll think about revising this video, thanks for pointing that out.
WTF…. Dealer says this $500 fix
Horrible designed by Honda
Mine went out after a weekend in the mountains. Universal push pins that are hard plastic push into place in a pinch. I used the two spare tire cover pins to get me home with cruise control and not kill my battery.
It would be nice to have some Delrin pieces though.
