Clutch Masters FX200 Clutch Kit - 2000-2009 Honda S2000
Nothing exposes a tired clutch like an S2000. You've got a motor that screams to 9,000 rpm and a gearbox you're rowing constantly, so the second that clutch starts slipping, you feel it everywhere, the revs flare between gears, the car goes soft on corner exit, and that beautiful pull to redline just turns into noise. This Clutch Masters FX200 kit fixes it and then some. It runs a Kevlar disc that holds about 70% more torque than your factory clutch and is built to last roughly three times longer, all while keeping a pedal that feels close to stock.
Kevlar Is Why This Thing Lives So Long
Here's what makes the FX200 different from a standard clutch. The disc uses Clutch Masters' Kevlar Steel Back System, which pairs Kevlar friction material with a steel backing. Kevlar's the material of choice here for one big reason: it handles heat and abuse without giving up, which is exactly what kills clutches in a car like this. Think about how an S2000 gets driven, high revs, quick shifts, a lot of clutch work through canyons or on track. That's a brutal life for a friction disc. Kevlar takes it, and Clutch Masters says these last up to three times longer than the competition. So you're not just buying holding power, you're buying a clutch you're not pulling the trans out to replace next season.
Holds 70% More, Still Streetable
The Power Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate is where the extra clamp comes from, giving you about 70% more torque capacity than the OEM clutch. That's the difference between a clutch that slips when you've freed up power and one that just puts it down. But here's the part that makes it usable: Clutch Masters runs a hi-leverage pressure ring design, which lets them get that clamping force without a brutal pedal. So the pedal stays close to stock feel, which matters a lot in a car you actually drive in traffic and then flog on the weekend.
Smooth Enough To Not Hate
The disc runs a sprung hub with a cushioned design, and that's what keeps this thing civil. The springs absorb driveline shock and the cushioning smooths out how the clutch takes up, so instead of grabbing like an on-off switch and chattering at every light, it engages progressively and predictably. You get the holding power without turning your S2000 into a car that's miserable to launch or creep in. That's the whole point of the FX200: race-capable, but you'd never dread the drive home.
Who It's For
This is the clutch for the street enthusiast and the weekend racer. If your S2000 sees canyon runs, autocross, track days, and a commute in between, the FX200 hits the balance you want: more torque capacity than stock, Kevlar durability that shrugs off hard use, and a pedal you can live with every day. If you're chasing serious power, forced induction or a big build, you'll want to step further up the FX range. But for an S2000 you drive hard and often, this is the sweet spot.
What's In The Kit
- Power Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate with a hi-leverage pressure ring design
- Kevlar Steel Back System disc with a sprung hub and cushioned design
- Throw-out bearing
- Pilot bearing or bushing (where applicable)
- Alignment tool
While you're in there with the transmission out, check your flywheel. If it's glazed, scored, or heat-checked, get it resurfaced or replaced, because a fresh clutch won't bed in properly against a beat-up surface.
