| Transmission is rough and sometimes pops out of 1st gear. during higher acceleration shifting gears occasionally become hard to do. as if they are not lined up correctly. also the clamps that hold the convertible top up become deteriorated rather quickly. this weaker lock begins to rattle and make all kinds of sounds during driving. *ak | |||

| 2004 honda s2000 manual transmission will pop out of gear from 1st to 2nd and from 3rd to 2nd gear. unable to put the car into gear until the car slows almost to complete stop. this is dangerous. requested dealer to service problem multiple times, but their repeated response is that this is a known problem when the car is cold, and for us to drive easy until the car warms up. this issue occurs also when the car is hot and had been driven at highway speeds for 45 minutes. the problem remains unresolved and is experienced every time the car is driven, whether cold, warm or hot. honda has a technical service bulletin on this problem. dealer refuses to fix the manual transmission problem. *nm | |||

| I have an 04 honda s2000. the transmission will sometimes pop out of 1st or 2nd gear when you let out the clutch. almost like it was not in gear to begin with. this is a known issue on the 04 s2000. the service engineer that works for honda knows about the problem but honda refuses to make the repairs. this is especially dangerous in a high traffic area because you could try to accelerete through a small break in traffic, making a left hand turn and drift right into oncoming traffic with the engine revving and no acceleration and get killed.*ak | |||

| About a year ago i put my soft top down on my 2004 honda s2000 when all of the sudden i heard a loud pop. i could not find anything wrong at the time until i started driving with my top up and heard a lot of whispering sounds. there was a fine cut right above the release latch/hinge on my soft top. i brought it to the attention of the honda dealership of whom i purchased the car from. they said that there was a known issue with my exact problem from the year from 2005 to 2008 for the honda s2000. seeing that i bought my car used (from their lot), out of warranty, and not within the years the service bulletin was for, they were going to charge me over $2500 to replace the top for a defect that was on the car. i am providing the honda service bulletin number for your records: 09-033. honda can pull up that service bulletin and there it will explain the issues and what actions needs to be taken place. i have done my research and there are a lot of car owners with his car that have been having these issues and was force to pay to get it fixed! | |||
