Default gears/differential

i hear the s2000 has a weak differential. and i see a lot of posts talking about changing gears.

my question is. what would be good to build a solid differential and how much will that cost? as well as what kind of gears should i use?

thanks.

also off topic, my clutch pedal is starting to stick at the very bottom and then spring back up..clutch fluid is fine and no leaks...i feel like i either need to bleed the slave cylinder or grease the metal ball at the head of the slave cylinder. any input?

go into th e FAQ, there is something there about the sticky clutch.

you can upgrade to the Ap2 diff and/or get the diff reinforced.

I personally don't worry about it, don't do bad launches or hard power shifts

it was not that. it was the slave cylinder head being messed up from the fork. i read a diy thread here and it said to sand it down and i did and it works great now. thanks though!
