Action Clutch Stage 3 1MS Clutch Kit for 2000-2009 Honda S2000 2.0L/2.2L (F20C1/F22C1)

A Clutch Matched to How You Actually Drive

The Stage 3 kit adds a sprung MIBA ceramic puck disc, available in four or six puck form, to a heavy duty single diaphragm pressure plate with reinforced drive straps. Holding capacity rises about 170 percent over the factory kit and engagement is much quicker, so expect some chatter that settles down after a proper break in. This listing is Action Clutch part number ACR-0738 for the 2000-2009 Honda S2000 2.0L/2.2L (F20C1/F22C1).

Fitment

This kit is Action Clutch part number ACR-0738. A different engine, transmission or model year uses a different part number, and clutch parts are not interchangeable across those changes.

Manual transmission applications only.

Purchasing a clutch stage above or below the actual power output of the engine can cause premature clutch failure, transmission damage and loss of warranty eligibility. If you are unsure which stage suits your build, contact us before ordering.

About Action Clutch

Action Clutch builds performance clutch and flywheel packages for street, track and race use. Every kit is hand assembled and signed off after multiple quality checks by the company's senior engineering team, and the sprung kits use a patented fully enclosed spring retainer system that prevents loose springs from damaging the transmission or engine.

FAQ

ACR-0738 is the Action Clutch part number for this clutch kit. Ordering by that number is the only way to be certain you are getting this exact item, because listings that only describe the product can cover several different part numbers.

Action Clutch rates this kit at 170 percent increase in holding capacity over the factory kit. Because torque at the flywheel varies with the tune, fuel and boost on a modified engine, treat that rating as the guide and pick the stage that matches your actual output.

Heavy duty street use and occasional drag, road or drift racing. That is the use Action Clutch specifies for this stage.

The kit does not include a flywheel. Any flywheel it bolts to must be within specification and freshly resurfaced or replaced, because a glazed or warped surface will destroy a new disc.

Yes. Several hundred miles of moderate street driving lets the friction material seat evenly. Hard launches before the disc is bedded are the most common cause of early failure.

Organic sprung kits engage close to factory smoothness. Ceramic puck kits engage much faster and will chatter at first, which reduces after a correct break in.

This is genuine Action Clutch product sold new in the manufacturer packaging under part number ACR-0738. It is not a reproduction or a superseded number.

Installation Instructions

1. Disconnect the battery, then raise the vehicle and support it on rated jack stands with the wheels chocked.
2. Drain the transmission fluid, disconnect the shift linkage or cables, the clutch hydraulics and any electrical connectors and sensors that cross to the transmission.
3. Support the engine, remove the transmission mount and crossmember, then unbolt and lower the transmission clear of the engine.
4. Unbolt the pressure plate in a criss cross pattern, a little at a time, and remove the old pressure plate and disc.
5. Unbolt and remove the flywheel, then clean the crankshaft flange and inspect the rear main seal and pilot bearing.
6. Install the flywheel with the correct hardware and torque sequence, then clean the friction surface with brake cleaner to remove all oil and handling residue.
7. Fit the clutch disc using the supplied alignment tool, noting that the raised hub or marked side faces the correct direction as shown in the instructions.
8. Bolt the pressure plate down in a criss cross pattern in stages to the specified torque, then remove the alignment tool.
9. Replace the release bearing and inspect or replace the release fork, pivot and slave cylinder, lubricating the input shaft splines lightly with high temperature grease.
10. Reinstall the transmission, mounts, linkage, hydraulics and wiring, refill the transmission fluid and bleed the clutch hydraulic system.
11. Complete a full break in of at least several hundred miles of moderate street driving before hard launches or track use so the friction material seats correctly.
