S2K Problem
I am having a problem with my 2000 S2000 with ~35,000. When ever you push the gas decently hard, the rpms go up before the engine catches up. So pretty much when you give it gas the rpms soar up then fall when the engine catches. I know this is kinda similar to a bad clutcc, but it does it even when you haven't touched the clutch lately. For example I can be in first for a while then floor it and the RPMs fly upwards then like 2 seconds later the engine catches up. Is this a catylac(sp?) converter?

I would also say your clutch was slipping, it can happen to a brand new car if you burn the clutch.
I did find this interesting on 03-04's, don't know if you have one of these or not, but its a clutch delay slave cyclinder and it seems to act like a slipping clutch to save wear.

The Honda stealership looked at it for a while and is still not sure, said possibly clutch. How much is a new clutch? I looked at S2KI and I saw about 2 grand
I thought they were like a grand max
If it is the clutch should I have the dealer do it? I kinda hate the new dealer and they did some bad work on a friends care, but I don't know if I trust any other place anymore with my S2k?

Shop around, you can get a much better price, even at a Honda stealership.

I don't know much about s2k aftermarket, but if there is a reliable, stronger clutch out there why not try to get that installed.
