Tearing open the trans can become a slippery slope for sure. That's a bummer but thanks for letting us know!I heard back from the ATS importer, PPI. They report that none of the ATS clutches will work with the standard 6-speed input shaft. Rather, one must first convert the transmission to the dual-spline shaft from the NSX-R/NSX-S-Zero (part # 23210-PR8-N00). Though that isn't such an expensive part, it is a bigger project for sure. I guess I should be happy that I don't appear to need a new clutch right now.
