Stick with the OEM unless you have a reason to use a stronger one.

Howard at Race Brakes would be someone to talk to about alternatives.

I notice that there's a couple of clutch manufacturers who advertise on this board (USA based). Perhaps you could order one in and get somebody to fit it for you.

A number of people have mentioned the Exedy clutch so I assume they're available in Australia.

I guess the subject of clutches has been one of the most frequently discussed issues since this board began. Perhaps try "Under the hood" or some of those similar forums.

If you need help in learning how to use the "search" function don't be too embarrassed to ask.

The Exedy is very expensive....it is also tough to drive, it's like an on/off switch. Go with an ACT kit. It's a stock Honda disc, and a slightly heavier Honda pressure plate.

well, i asked around about clutch i even called exedy distributor for some info.....well no one seem have stock for honda s2000 kit atm, and if i want to order the 1 equal to oem, i have to wait for 1 month and it cost 1200 ...not cheap..... so i went to honda dealer and they quote me 1060 for oem clutch....thats what im getting this monday, but im still affraid that i will burn this one again,...this is so much stress to think about...
ppl told me that 2002-up s2k' clutch is better than 1999-2001 s2k's clutch...is this true ??better in longer use and stronger??? is the one in honda dealer = 2002-up clutch ??
please help

The early model S2000s (1999 - mid 2002?) had weak springs in the clutch plate. The new revised clutch now has stronger springs.

Any clutch you buy from a Honda dealer today should be the revised clutch with stronger springs.

However, the standard Honda clutches are not suitable for drag racing. If you want to go drag racing you should get a stronger clutch that has been designed for that purpose.

It's a lot cheaper to buy a heavy duty clutch than it is to replace the standard clutch three times a year.
