What is the main benefit of a 6-puck clutch disc compared to a traditional organic disc?

A 6-puck clutch disc, like the one in this FX500 kit, is designed to handle higher torque loads and offers a more abrupt, direct engagement. This makes it suitable for modified vehicles or those used in demanding driving conditions where a stock clutch might slip.

Does this clutch kit include all the necessary components for installation?

This Clutch Masters FX500 kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It is recommended to also purchase a new release bearing and an alignment tool, as these are often not included but are essential for a proper installation.

Will this clutch kit make my S2000's pedal feel heavier?

Yes, performance clutch kits like the FX500 typically have a firmer pedal feel than the factory clutch. The sprung 6-puck design helps to mitigate some of the harshness, but expect a more direct and potentially heavier pedal.

About this part

Product Details

The Clutch Masters FX500 clutch kit features a sprung 6-puck disc, a design choice that helps manage the engagement characteristics of a more aggressive clutch setup. This particular kit is built for the 2001-2009 Honda S2000, specifically for models with the 2.0L or 2.2L engine. If you're looking to handle more power or simply want a more direct connection to your drivetrain, this clutch kit is a solid option.

The FX500 series is known for its ability to hold significantly more torque than a stock clutch, making it a popular choice for S2000 owners who have modified their engines or plan to. The 6-puck design, while offering high torque capacity, is still sprung to provide a more manageable pedal feel and smoother engagement compared to unsprung puck designs. This balance is crucial for a car like the S2000, where precise control is part of the driving experience. Clutch Masters uses a well-built pressure plate designed to work seamlessly with the disc, ensuring consistent clamping force and proper disengagement.

When installing a clutch kit of this nature, it's important to consider that pedal feel will be firmer than stock, and engagement will be more abrupt. This is normal for a performance clutch and is part of what allows it to handle higher power levels. You'll want to ensure your flywheel is in good condition or resurfaced, and it's always a good idea to replace the rear main seal and pilot bearing while the transmission is out. This kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate; other components like the release bearing and alignment tool are typically sold separately and should be checked for compatibility.
