Thumbs up Clutch Questions...

I recently got the word from Honda I need to replace my clutch. It is having trouble engaging and disengaging. I was wondering what would be a good clutch for daily driving if I'm eventually going to be turboed. Also, I was looking at a Spoon clutch set and was wondering if what this site is selling is all I need?

I bought a Toda Flywheel with the ACT HD-SS clutch and I love it! I also got a SS Clutchline and replaced the pilot and throwout bearings.

i wouldn't get a act clutch. ask inlinepro why they don't sell act clutches. and they do make one of if not the best kit for the s2000.

I would go with a clutch masters stage 3. OEM pedal feel and engagement. Carbon/kevlar clutch. it can take alot of abuse.

I dont agree. I would go with a act clutch. I have one and have no problems with it and the pedal Is nice and smooth.

depends on how you want your car to handle more power. i would rather have the clutch be able to hold more power than just an oem disc with a better pressure plate.

Also with the act kit if you track the car or drive aggresively, its not to hard to glaze the oem disc. Try doing that to the clutch masters clutch disk

Hmm, I'm in the same boat, my clutch lost its bite and will likely need to be replaced soon.
Sorry to hijack, but what do you guys recommend if you're not planning to mod the car and just drive it normally... well with some spirited driving of couse? Cost is also a deciding factor as well.

I've been in this boat guys. Here is another angle which usually isn't thought of with the clutch. The 8 pound Findanza flywheel will solve your problem. The stock clutch bites much better and will last longer with this flywheel do to the less rotating mass and I would assume a better removable friction serface on the flywheel itself. My clutch lost that good solid feeling a few years ago, I thought for sure my days were numbered. I decided to go for the flywheel mod instead of the clutch, glad it worked as I was hoping. It's been 3 years now on the same clutch and I have been FI the last few months with no slippage. This was on the same clutch that 3 years ago would slip around corners if I gave to much gas to merge into traffic.

I have found the stock clutch will last you forever even with moderate power upgrades if you have a lightweight flywheel and no CDV for you Ap2 guys.
