S2000 OEM or Exedy Clutch - Pedal PADS

- We see some pretty bad clutch, this one limped here.
The best clutch hands down for your S2000 is the OEM Honda !
If you don't require extra holding power, it's the no compromise clutch.
The best option we like for 300-430whp is the FX300 with the AP2 flywheel or if you don't mind a little extra clutch buzz, the AP1 flywheel.
The AP2 flywheel being heavier, helps dull the sounds more.
Also the Pedal Pad is here !
The annoying sound when you put the clutch pedal to the floor is metal on metal...
The Pedal pad dulls that sound and gives a more NEW CAR feel.
Check out in the LHT Store.

I bought my S2000 at 12,300 miles in 2004. I sold it last year with 213,000 miles. I loved every single mile but have 2 kids now so needed something bigger.
Wow. 200,000 miles of driving is awesome
I have owned an S2000 for 6 years. I try to bring my copy to perfect condition. I do most of the work myself, I only outsource bodywork repairs to a company. Today I became your subscriber because you are a mine of knowledge for me. Greetings from Poland.
If there is anyone I would absolutely trust with my car it would be you guys. I learn something new Honda related basically every episode. If I'm ever in the area with my Acura I'm scheduling an exhaust install.
Ive had mine since..2010, 06 cable throttle and I've been through all of these aftermarket clutches.. I killed the exedy clutch in about 3 months, Act didnt fair much better. Since my experimentation I've stuck with OEM when it comes to the clutch. Excellent comparison.
Watched "Wheeler Dealers" this past week for a BRZ. They showed a steering wheel re-wrap with red strip just like yours. However, before applying the leather, the craftsperson cut a corresponding groove in the plastic under the stitching so there wasn't a bump where the material overlaps. Came out really slick.
Whatever you want to call it....nothing wrong with caring about what you do and wanting things correct. You've built a brand of excellence.
Yea I don’t own a S2000 but I watch and subscribe to the channel just because of the work yall do. Y’all do it right. Would love if yall did a giveaway car, I would want one
love the attention to detail... subscribed
I love the way you guys break down the work you do. I look forward to your videos.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Keep up the good work !! I own 2005 - S2000 , and I’ve learned a lot watching your videos..I may be sending my car to ur shop all the way from Texas ..👍
Thanks for the compliment, we actually do a lot of cars from Texas. I think I told the story on the channel, but one guy drove from Texas straight through for a soft Top, drops his car went to go see a movie and ate, then came back and drove it home. We both still can’t believe how he did that.
When it comes to building or repairing cars, picky is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
OEM clutch is definitely of better quality and sturdier construction. Only aftermarket clutch, that I know of, that has encased springs on the clutch discs are Clutch Masters and Action Clutch.
I don't think my 06 S.O.S. supercharged S2K needs anything at the moment but every time I watch your vids, I'm constantly trying to figure out some "need" I have to get it to you!! lol. I seriously hope to meet you and have you work on it someday.
I already like every video, every things your share and show, so I don't know how can I support more your channel. It's a master piece ;)
Thanks much my friend. 🙏
I think I'm starting to watch all of your videos just see where a "Nachi" pops up! JK, I love everything Honda and your attention to detail is motivating. Have you ever thought about doing work on a Fit?
Thumbs up for the Hoover reference 👍👍😁.
Another great episode, can't wait to see what you device to fix that clutch pedal noise.
Ur ocd to the perfect amount haha. I love watching ur channel. I’m watching an artist, master craftsman doing his work 👍
Thanks so much for the kinds words. OCD can get out of hand sometimes
I bet the leak on the side of the block is coming from the top TCT gasket. When that top gasket leaks the leak will run down the little lip on the head, then down the side of the block by the transmission.
that top gasket (that looks like 8 )yeah. so much mess for such a tiny little gasket.😢
I meant to say vtec gasket
I’m 6’3”. My S2k is my only vehicle. I fit in it. 6’4” might be a different story. Just in case anyone was on the fence about getting one because of their height.
I think you’re about the limit. The person that bought the silver dancer ( a build video) was 6’ 4” and couldn’t make it work. Even with a lowered seat, he couldn’t get it to work.
I’m 6’3 and used an s2000 as my daily for over a decade. Assuming you’re using stock seats a BYS seat rail is a must - it makes it much more comfortable
Love the s2000 love !!
2:50: John, why did I expect you to say "Push it home" when installing the knobs? ☺
Im very picky whennit comes to my s2000 interior and it looks brand spanking new. Its my dream car and i own one at 22 years old. Also can you do a video about clutch buzz and how to fix?
i am restoring my 95 Civic coupe. i recently had the clutch replaced with Exedy because OEM is not available. the clutch grabs rather high. i tried adjusting the pedal but when it grabs at mid point the pedal height is lower than the specs. I just can’t seem to get it right. hope you can make a video on how to properly adjust the clutch height. thank you.
I can't believe you used the microwave and didn't boast on the durable vintage construction.
So you fixed the drone at higher RPM but not low RPM drone. So now you need an exhaust cutout that will send the exhaust flow into a second resonator that eliminates low RPM drone. Then, you can switch between low RPM and high RPM resonator.
What about the sachs clutch which looks like a rebranded oem or vise versa.
Is clutch engament a wear indicator on the S2000? Mine is near the top also but no slipping. My other truck also manual I put a new clutch and it engages near the top like the old one.
I will probably go witht the sachs when the time comes to save money. 125k so it might be the original clutch still.
It can be adjusted to change the engagement spot. But 125k may be towards the end of its service life.
It’s a lot of labor to replace the clutch, I would install the best you can at that time. After installing around 700 clutch’s in S2000s, we would strongly recommend the full OEM clutch kit.
So, Matt is crazy?
Any idea when the oem clutch setup is going to be back on the store? Looking to get one
We took it out the store. Unfortunately we had someone but a clutch in backwards and the credit card company sided with him. We almost have to make products ‘Idi0t proof’ to sell them.
Exedy = no bueno
Haven’t had any issues with mine it’s over 2 years old since the install put about 18k on it so far
I’m also stock so there’s that
Yup .. no good .. lots of chatter. OEM is super quiet.
Lock tight on the flywheel bolts and the pressure plate ones as well. Red and blue respectively, torqued to spec. I guess I got a good one or I installed it correctly or maybe I’m not as hard on it as others idk. Also it’s all exedy. Pilot bearing, flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disk, throw out bearing even the slave cylinder. I’ve never had a brand new Honda with a factory clutch pack to compare it to but it’s been working fine for me. The one that came out was a diken (excuse spelling)
Hey john im looking to buy your slash cut exhaust tips is there any way to make it fit with a 3 inch diameter exit of a muffler ? Would i have to use a reducer?
The 4” Exhaust tips are 3” inlet that taper down to 2.5”. Cut off the taper and it’s ready.
Question for you, if we delete the cdv on the ap2 and still running the oem ap2 clutch system, is it going to slip if shift faster than usual?
It will help the clutch engage faster. I would recommend slower shifts allowing the clutch to fully engage before applying power.
Is it possible to redirect the drone at a high rpm like past 5000rpm. At that point you're not cruising you're doing a spirited drive.
Tuning it into different spots is very tough. We managed to drop it from 1900 rpm’s to 1600. Wait while you see the latest modification.
Oem
EXEDY
I've been called OCD. I've been called anal. And yes, I've been called picky. I personally prefer persnickety. However you term it I always take it as a compliment.
I guess it’s not a bad thing, you know what you want and you want it right. 👍🏻
