I'm finally getting the trans grind fixed next week,(happy dance), and I sure would like to upgrade the clutch at the same time and minimize the number of times the car gets taken apart. Has anyone had experience with any aftermarket clutches?

I ordered the Spoon Clutch and Pressure plate from MG Racing. I have not had it istalled yet.
You might also consider a lightened flywheel at the same time. I got the TODA from AKH Trading.
My dealer said it would be approx. $30 dollars extra to install the parts when they do the Grind fix.

Aaron,
Yes, I checked out the Spoon clutch as an option, but 660 Bucks, woah! There must be other choices.

I'll be needing a clutch on my 93 Legend LS coupe 6 speed, sooner or later, so I've been looking around. Acura - $1,200. Centerforce -$1,000. $660 for a Spoon doesn't sound bad. Wonder what a new Honda clutch would cost for an S2K?

Not too expensive for a new stock clutch:

I am also considering a change, but I wonder if this really worth it. I even held on the Toda Flywheel install before taking a final decision.

Do you have specs on the spoon clutch? From the pictures it looks just like the stock one.

Mugen does have a metal clutch, but apparently it's race only stuff. Would this be useable on the street?

What is the part on the right upper corner?
Is this required with the Spoon clutch?
