ClutchMasters Acura CL-6S Clutch







Total weight on the scale is 29lbs give or take a little bit. It's not super-light like the S2000 flywheel was. I'll weigh the stock units once removed.

Yeah - Stage 1. I didn't want to go with anything more agressive as it's already a 70% increase in grip, and the way they do their pedals, it's supposed to be stocklike feel without the 'launch your knee into your chin' recoil like alot of the spec plates have.

At the end of the day, it's the daily driver, and the S2000 is the playtoy. This was just opportunity to get the daily up to date on the performance.

Id love to see how it works out for you. If you dont mind me asking, how much did it run you, and where did you get it?

Going rate is 1000-1100...I bought it on EBay, as no vendors I'm familiar with seem to have anything clutchwise for the CL aside from P2R with a disc.

SPEC makes some nice race clutches, but be prepared to blow out master and slave cylinders, break axles, and god forbid, torque the crankshaft. I had a spec on a D16 and B16 motor each, and both were very harsh engaging, rigid, and noisy. Both were sprung, stage 3 units

They only do a stage 1, 3, or 4 for our car. There are two stage fours available, the 4 puck and the 6 puck. Im going with the stage 3 when the time comes. At which point Im going to do my tranny modifications

For future reference we sell Clutchmaster's.

For the CL 6 Spd the only company who does a complete clutch kit with flywheel is Clutchmaster's. SPEC has a clutch kit, CT has a disc and flywheel, and P2R has a disc.

You dont need to pull the motor out. It may be easier to pull the engine as well, since pulling the trans (and most importantly reinstalling it) can be a pain in the ass if you are doing everything from under the car.

Ive swapped trannies and installed clutches on cars in the past. Taking it apart is easy. Installing the clutch and flywheel is easy. Lining up the tranny mainshaft with the clutch and making sure the clutch lines up with the crankshaft can be a really big PITA.

Dropping the subframe is a must with this car...not like a civic where you can pop the axles and slide the trans out. It's a heavy-ass transmission no less. Fortunate enough to have access to a lift / trans-jack and a very experienced professional mechanic friend. It's not something I'd tackle in the garage at home unless you can bench about 250 with each arm...lol.

Yea. The Civic by far was the easiest. The Prelude was alittle more of a PITA.

With this car, Id definately reccomend pulling the engine, but you dont have to.

I had a SPEC stage 3 and a SPEC stage 4 in my old ('03) Cobra and had no problems like that. Great clutch. Clutches are gonna be different in different cars. They work great in Mustangs (and other V8s from what I've seen). Held the power great.
