in case anybody else has this problem and comes across this thread, i spent hours with all manner of pliers trying to make this work and then finally found this...

bottom lever on my door lock snapped just like https://www.edmunds.com/acura/nsx/1991/long-term-road-test/1991-acura-nsx-fixing-the-door.html i CANNOT for the life of me manage the stupid c clip on the hinge pin. got some help getting it off, replaced everything and now i need to get the c clip...

update: grabbed a blueprinted 5spd from SoS and their sport 275 clutch and had it dropped in. car feels much better - apparently i'd never driven an nsx with a fully functional transmission. yay!

thanks folks. i have bounced around the idea of getting rid of the car a few times and so this was a good opportunity to take stock again. like every other time i've thought about it, i still can't think of another car i'd rather daily drive for anything near this price. i'll end up getting it...

i think i had a similar issue - turned out it was the solders on my main relay giving out. when it happened to me, i reached around behind the seat and gave the main relay a few hard punches, and it knocked something back into alignment. car started fine after that. replaced the main relay...
