Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer

The CL release fork pocket was completely dry and causing metallic squeaking noise when the CL pedal was operated.

High temp Urea grease applied before installing the CL slave cyl.

Another reason why I always recommend replacing the CL release fork, bearing, saddle spring, release bearing guide, etc at the time of CL service.


By the way, as mentioned many times, I have no idea how someone can install the CL slave cyl from the top by removing the air box without being able to see how the slave cyl plunger sits inside the release fork pocket.
I can’t see it from the top so always have to do it from the bottom side below the eng bay.




Looks like this Gbox is not the original one and it's from the later model. I haven't checked the Gbox Ser. No. but probably being swapped for shorter gear ratio or simply for the snap ring trans case issue???

It has the VSS2 DF sensor that was not available on the early models.
By the way, I just delivered new VSS2 sensor for another owner.
With the age, this sensor started to fail on several later spec NSX and if you have EPS, it will trigger the EPS warning light.
If your speedo is fine but got the EPS #33 error code, you may have this sensor failure.







Everything installed and connected.
Ready for the CL Hyd bleeding.
Since I replaced the damper-less joint, the system is fairly empty and full of air.
Probably easier if I use the pressure bleeding this time so going to bleed it at the same time when bleeding the brake side as well.
