As much as I dislike the thought of replacing a clutch in a brand new car (2500 miles young) I can't deal with this stock one any longer. I'd appreciate any input and knowledge.

 

Can`t go wrong w/ an ACT

 

Honestly, I have yet to hear of a good manufacturer of clutches for the S2000 and little info from owners on this in the past 2 years. this would be good knowledge! Would an aftermarket one be ready for 9K rpm's?

 

I am getting my clutch replaced today as i blew it yesterday , standard clutches arent the best in the s2000"s i have only done 3500km in the car and already it burned out , HONDA is replacing it with a std clutch , i too would like to no of other clutches which are good fot the s2k - i cant believe i have to replace it after 3500km , i do drive it hard but im really suprised

 

do a search on clutch (advanced search, search titles only). I just did this 'cause I think my clutch is getting ready to go funky on me and I may have to replace it. Sorry I can't post any links, but I have lost the threads already.

ACT seems to be a good choice, it seems a lot of people have upgraded to ACT;

gregstevens got the works from SPOON: clutch, disk and flywheel and seems to like it pretty well

Mugen (Kingmotorsports) has a pressure plate and disk, but it's more $$ than the ACT package

 

I would contact the editors of the magazine "sportcompact car"
www.sportcompactcarweb.com" In their latest issue Aug. 2001 they have 2 articles on modified s2000.

The first mod was written by Josh Jacquot where he used a ACT pressure plate, stock Honda clutch disc, and a Comptech lightened flywheel.

The other s2k was done by Larry Saavedra and he used a ABT/Sachs sport clutch.

I'm sure by calling the offices, they would have no problem talking to you.

Hope that helps

Thanks for the input. For curiosity sake, how does the ATC clutch act when dropped at 3-4000 rpms?

 

Bethesda MD?......Try calling Vicki at Rosenthal Honda. I think they have done a couple s2000s now.

 

I believe it adds 40% more clamping force on the flywheel than the stock clutch. OUCH!!! There goes the diff....
