If your staying N/A then an OE clutch is fine. they are rated up an close to 500hp an do the job fine. Take it from me you, if your N/A you dont need a HD clutch, I'm N/A w/ only a intake & exhaust pretty much and have the A.C.T Street clutch an have F'd up 2 Diff's now. An talking w/ S2kPuddydad the main reason is b/c my clutch is way more than what I need. If anything you could get a lighweight Flywheel. I got the Fidanza 8lbs that used steele inserts so you dont have to get the fly resurfaced everytime you change out the clutch.

I'd PM S2KPUDDYDAD, he is smart as hell when it comes to the Drivetrain on the S2000.

 

Oh yeah and my brother would only charge about $400 to put your clutch in.

 

I have a vid on youtube of when I had my spoon clutch and flywheel installed. It took all day. This shop owner has a 400WHP S2K that they work on so they knew what they were doing.

After removing the driveshaft and motor mounts they had to tip the engine/tranny down to hit the top tranny bolt with a really long extension.

I got the spoon clutch and spoon lightened flywheel. It is a very nice combo.


Clutch install

 

If I go with the stock clutch, will I still get the clutch buzz?
Im getting really annoyed by it these days... Ive read about some poeple getting the clutch buzz back after installing new clutch.

Should I still go oem? or aftermarket?

 

I'm pretty sure they fixed the clutch buzz problem with new oem parts.

 

ive noticed the so called clutch buzz in my '00 model and its getting louder.
It happends around 3-4k its starting to really bug me, but the clutch still grabs quite good, don't know if I should just leave it or replace it and if i do replace it with a oem clutch will the buzz return? or should i replace it with a aftermarket clutch? and with a aftermarket clutch will I still get buzzing?

 

What about a Clutchmaster clutch? I've heard from a few honda peeps that these are very good and they've been around for years.

 

You could either go aftermarket with, for example, the ACT, and if you ever decided (in the near future) to upgrade to a SC or a turbo then you would have it, although I agree with Skip that aftermarket may hurt you overtime if you DON'T plan to upgrade, depends on what you want to do.

 

i have a stage 3 clutchmasters clutch, pressure plate combo and a fidanza 8lb flywheel that I am looking to put in sometime this summer, im also n/a with some light moddage but maybe one day a s/c or itb's so i figured i would go ahead and upgrade plus i got a good deal on them. any suggestions for me
also i would love to learn how to do this with someone i put 2 clutches in an e36 325i a few years ago but have no idea other than a shop bible for the s2k; kinda would like help from someone who knows what they are doing...
i live in Md near annapolis but i could drive somwhere and meet up for a day job im always tryin to learn new things.
thanks in advance
