To deactivate automatic a/c feature on a 2002+ S2000:
1) Turn the ignition switch "on," but don’t start the car.
2) Turn fan speed off.
3) Turn temperature knob all the way to the left (blue area).
4) Turn vent knob to all the way to the left (panel position).
5) Turn the ignitions switch "off."
6) Hold down both air recirculation button and a/c button while turning the ignition switch "on." Nothing lights up initially, keep waiting. The orange air recirculation indicator on the button will start flashing.
7) Continue holding both buttons until the orange air recirculation indicator stops flashing, then let go.
I've done it on my 03, and it works. AC still kicks on, but you can hit the ac button and turn it off. As for the shifting part, change of fluids?

OMG! why wasnt this in the owner's manual! Been lookin to turn that AC off once my windshield's done defrosting so that I dont put additional load on the engine.
Thanks a lot controller!
