So I had a Competition Clutch stage 2 installed along with a ap1 flywheel. The clutch grips like crazy compared to stock, but it buzzes a lot at low rpm's. Both when I accelerate and decelerate. Can anyone with this type setup, or just anyone that has had a brand new clutch chime in? Is this just part of the normal break in on it? Thanks in advance.

 

aftermarket clutches buzz and chatter.

 

Yup. Alot of setups buzz and chatter and doesn't really go away. I kind of forgot mine even buzzes cause my exhaust is way louder haha

 

Usually when getting a new clutch it will buzz at its LOUDEST point of its life for the first 300-500 miles. Once broken in it will get quieter and more quiet over the time of its life.

i had the Stage 1 ACT clutch. at first it was loud as shit then about 500 miles down the road it was much quieter but still had buzzing then probably about 2500 miles down the road it was not noticeable anymore. but thats my experience, everyone has there own stories haha

 

Cool, yeah that's exactly what I wanted to hear. I was just worried that the splines on the output shaft were getting worn down or something. Thanks guys

 

I had the exact same problem on the 00 S2. I had a stage 2 clutch and new flywheel installed. The buzz was driving me nuts, especially after laying out the cash for the work. I broke down and took the car to the Honda dealer. The said that they have a revised (sprngs) AP1 clutch that would eliminate the buzz. They also said that the buzz that I'm hearing wasn't a problem, just a pain to the ears. I decided to purchase the Honda clutch and had the original shop install it for no charge. The buzz is gone!

 

Yep, welcome to the club. Mine buzzes between 2-4K while decellorating.
