Competition Clutch Stage 2 Clutch Kit for Honda S2000

Competition Clutch Stage 2 Street Series 2100 Clutch Kit, MFG 8023 2100, for Honda S2000 manual transmission

If you need a real S2000 clutch upgrade kit and you do not want a puck disc that chatters in traffic, this Competition Clutch Stage 2 S2000 kit is the common middle ground. It’s a complete S2000 Stage 2 clutch kit for the Honda S2000 manual transmission, built to clamp harder than stock while keeping engagement progressive enough for street miles.

Here’s what it does in your car. The clutch assembly squeezes the friction disc between the flywheel and pressure plate, sends torque into the input shaft, then lets go cleanly when you push the pedal. The factory clutch works fine at stock torque, but it starts to complain when you add grip, add power, or just heat cycle it with hard street pulls and track days. Competition Clutch lists this Stage 2 clutch Honda S2000 setup as up to an 80 percent torque capacity increase over stock, and they still aim it at aggressive street use plus moderate track use.

Hardware wise, the Competition Clutch Honda S2000 Stage 2 clutch uses a higher clamp load pressure plate and a full face sprung hub disc with steel backed facings. The sprung hub matters if you actually drive your S2000 on the street, it takes some edge off driveline shock compared to a solid hub. One honest note, friction material naming for this part number shows up inconsistently across reputable listings, so we are not going to guess at a compound name here. What we can say is the full face layout keeps engagement smoother than a segmented disc, with the trade off that it will not like repeated clutch kicks or abuse the way a puck style disc can.

Selection and use considerations

Pick this Stage 2 Honda S2000 clutch kit when you want a matched package that holds more than stock without jumping straight to an on off puck disc. Install is the same scope as any Honda S2000 clutch kit upgrade. Check your flywheel surface and specs before you bolt it up, then actually do the 500 mile break in if you want it to live.
