okay guys, got another one for ya...


cars back together... i got impatient. act 8 lb flywheel, oem pressure plate, kept the exedy disk. i pull it apart again when it slips (thats so far in the future i dont know)



but, with the exact same setup as before, except now i have the ACT 8lb flywheel, im getting that clutch buzz... 4k and lower, until like 2200 or so...


should i expect this with the lightweight flywheel?!!!? i didnt realize that the flywheel could cause it also! its no big deal, i just want to know WHY.


Thanks,


Matt

The exedy disk is garbage. I guess you like doing clutch jobs since you put it back in your car. Lol

Apparently...

I knowwwww! But, I'm expecting to pull it apart in 2 years and put something decent in it. I read everywhere that the exedy is just the same as the oem as they are made by the same company. The clutch job wasnt difficult, at all. Sooo, I figure, if something breaks, I'll do it again!

afzan

No it absolutely is not the same.

Exedy disk is junk for s2000. Its been proven many many many times to fail prematurely

Well it was basically brand new in there, so I left it. It feels fine, I will replace it once I get the turbo setup together...


Regardless of my ignorance, what do you think this noise is? Typical clutch buzz?

Isn't clutch buzz often due to the way the springs are held in the disc? Once these springs let loose, you get catastrophic failure?

afzan

Yup buzz is because of the junky disk

iDomN8U

Do you own a hoist? Just curious.. If not, maybe consider getting one as you'll be doing another clutch job in 10-15k when the spring jacket cracks.

Do it right the first time but apparently you didn't listen to ANYONE'S advice. You made a thread for opinions yet you still decided your way was better. We told you our real world experience and yet you dont listen. If this is what you plan to keep doing to the s2000, all I going to say is good luck with your turbo build.
