Hello Robin,

welcome to MaxRev.
Do you own the 125hp version (EH6, D-Series Engine) or the 160hp (EG2, B-Series Engine)? If you don't know, open your hood and check the label near the lock. You can find your serial number on that label. It starts with JHM..., followed by either EH6 or EG2 and some numbers. Now you know your version and your engine if it hasn't been swaped. If you're not sure about that, you can find the engine codehere! - little blue label on the bottom of that picture is the one with the serial, it's not exactly in the same spot on the Del Sol, but close.

I'd say it's the release bearing, mainly because it occurs when you release the clutch.
Both engines, D and B, are VTEC. If yours is a D (way more common) the Civic trannys work great. I'm no tranny expert but if I remember correctly the S20 is shorter, resulting in a better acceleration.

My advice is to get at least one more opinion about your problem from repair shops in Heidelberg. The more, the better. It's always hard to evaluate these "noise-causing-problems" over the internet. After that, we may know what you need to fix the problem.

Should be no problem. But as I said, I'm no expert for trannies and engine stuff. I can't guarantee you if I will be able to tell you exactly what's wrong.
But as I said, the more opinions you get, the better.

When you go to another shop, tell them that you think it's the clutch release bearing. Always better for you if they think you have some knowledge regarding the problem. If you go there with no idea at all, they will most likely pick the most expensive solution...

The second one is the original VTI (EG2) Spoiler, so no registration is needed.

Getting yours, or the first one from Ebay, registered is almost impossible in Germany. The german TÜV does not like wide metal spoilers with sharp edges because of the risk of injuries in case of an accident. Even if there's no accident, because of the size and the the sharp edges almost on height of the head, they are dangerous for pedestrians in everyday traffic. I'd recommend you switch to the VTI spoiler asap, because if the police stops you with your spoiler and they have a bad day, you have to remove the spoiler immediately or you won't be allowed to drive on. If they have a good day, you will be allowed to remove it and prove that to them within about 10 days. But the "bad day" case is more likely because it is a "Straßenverkehrsgefährdung" (danger for traffic). And you will have to pay a fee in either case.
