S2000 clutch interlock bypass

In this video I add a relay to my 2004 honda s2000 to bypass the clutch interlock switch when the parking brake is actuated.
Higher clamping force clutches apply more load to the thrust bearings which can lead to engine failure. This mod eliminates this load during start up when the most wear will take place.

Did you know thay 99.9% cars dont have clutch interlocking and everyone is still alive.
Both my UKDM and JDM s2000 didnt have it from factory either

Clutch interlock switch is mostly a US thing. Common sense is apparently not common here.

It’s odd, my JDM one does

Using your ebrake is fine if you're not going to track your car. Or if you don't get into a situation where you have to push start your car. Otherwise it is a clean install.

The car can still be started by pressing the clutch so everything still functions as normal.
The only difference is you can activate the clutch interlock switch either by pressing the clutch or when the ebrake is up.

Would a ACT pressure plate with oem flywheel and clutch disk etc have any problems with this load issue ?

[@dpgarage4501]

There’s a lot of debate on s2ki about whether this is needed for the AEM pressure plate.
I’m not sure how necessary it is but I did the bypass out of an abundance of caution.

[@miguelsalonga7729]

Having this done, is it possible to put a remote starter on the s2000? Just curious

[@dpgarage4501]

It would be possible, but you would want to be extra cautious to leave the car out of gear.
