A 25 minute video from LHT, and it’s about a S2000?!
Christmas came early!
You guys have no idea how long i have been dying for you guys to make kits like this!! As a New Yorker, florida is quite a bit ways away, so a kit like this is absolutely perfect!
Sincerely, your biggest fan!
Wonderful concept. Your commitment to customer satisfaction shows your sincerity to all customers.
NSx and s2k heaven ! Can’t wait to bring my car there for TLC 👍👍.
The amount of knowledge and experience in these videos is just awesome. Wish I lived closer to FL. Saving up for an s2000 now and studying in the meantime.
It’s your ear John. Your ear grease. Love your work guys. 👍🏾
GTP_ VEXD Lol. I’ll remember that. 👍🏻
Nice choice of background music for the bearing fitting 😁👍
OEM goodness Great clutch Video
Under pressure pushing down on me pushing down on me as you push down the new transmission seal.. good timing!
I was like wth is this guy talking about and then I heard the song lol
Awesome video LHT, you guys are the Greatest !
You guys always do a great job! I'm up in Reading PA, and ive done quite a few s2k clutch jobs. I'm not a professional by any means just love these cars. One thing I would say should definitely be replaced if you're taking the flywheel out is definitely the flywheel bolts which are one time use. I always recommend to anyone with an s2k just to replace all the hardware when doing a clutch job. On my own personal s2000 I had a Honda tech replace the clutch and flywheel once and he didn't replace the flywheel bolts. A few months later I pulled the trans out and three of the flywheel bolts backed out! Always replace hardware!!!!! Lol....you guys are awesome and always go the extra mile
I always recommend a stock clutch for a stock setup. Nice factory pedal feel/engagement and the pressure plate diagram spring is perfectly matched for the hydraulics and the actual pedal assembly itself. I've seen broken welds on the clutch pedal assembly on 8th gen civic with either an upgraded clutch or a factory one that is so work hardened it's very heavy and the slightest bit of flex over a long period of time causes the spot welds to let go.
Seem getting the nsx was a great business move. Now you have additional super car owner getting work done.
Ah I love me a good LHT s2000 video
Awesome tip with the space grease on the sub frame bolt. Just struggled getting the front out and used a ton of penetrant and slowly worked the bolt in and out to not strip anything now I won’t have to worry thanks to that tip.
20:00 lol "Under Pressure" playing in the background while pressing in a seal
Wow! Impressive kit. Easily the best I’ve ever seen. 👏👍✨
I will def buy this kit when the time comes.
Ok... I'm coming from VA to get my car serviced by you John/George. It has 22k miles and want to do a full maintenance plus LHT exhaust, etc. Now to find the time to make a week trip...
I'm so shipping my car to you guys for a major tune up!!!!!!!
No words needed.👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Didn't know we should pack the release bearing with grease as well, thanks guys!
You don’t pack the bearing. You fill the recess in the bearing to help maintain the grease on the friction surface
@@LHTPerformance Gotcha! Thanks for all that you guys do
@@SchanRak happy to help. Thanks
For the feedback.
Since you bought nsx more people will trust you for doing there exatic cars
You guys do great work and keep it up 👍🏼
The OEM rear main seal has a metal lip on the engine facing side, the non OEM ones lack this metal ring which keep the seal from expanding at very high rpm.
Rolando Tillit We buy our deals direct from Honda. It’s the same we removed.
You guys are awesome
Nice great job🏆🚦
Excellent video like always! Have you tried the ACT HD pressure plate and OEM everything else on your table combo? Seems like that's the go-to set up for OEM feel and up to around 500 wheel hp
This is the best setup, also adding the lighter Prolite flywheel makes it even better. This is what I run on my S.
The FX friction discs are inferior to the OEM FCC one and they are going buzz and fail sooner.
@@andersw1152 I just installed this set up in my supercharged ap2 and swapped to an OEM ap1 flywheel. It's almost back on the road. Wish LHT was closer to me would've just had them do it!
I love watching channel
I recommended the 2 brothers from goon squad who rebuild many wrecked cars to you guys if there having problems with there S2000 there rebuilding.
Great job nice car
Maybe add that input shaft seal to your kit as well. My input shaft seal was leaking on my eighth gen si but unfortunately you have to open the case and replace it from the inside.
Exedy is who makes the stock clutch so it’s hardly aftermarket. In fact Honda UK were supplying the exedy clutch for a few months when the Honda boxed one was on back order.
altypeRR They could make it to Honda specs.
No, Exedy do not, and have never manufactured s2000 clutches. Exedy cleverly market their s2000 as “oem replacement” to be deceptive.
Compare the disc spring housings of the genuine Honda FCC clutch vs the Exedy equivalent.
I was under the impression that Exedy as well as Deikan were OE manufacturers for Honda
Brought exdey OEM clutch for B18 came with OEM bearing was cheaper than aftermarket
Cant go wrong unlike the aftermarket clutch its replacing
For the s2000 all clutches are manufactured by FCC and the Exedy ‘oem’ or ‘hd’ products are vastly inferior.
Ounce of precaution, as they say
Hey John, is there anyway I could get the Transmission Main seal part number I will really appreciated. Love your guys work helps alot . Keep up the great work 👍.
Pm me on IG on Monday, I don’t remember the numbers
so is that k20a I saw in the background going to go into the integra? ;)
is mi favorite car s2000 Honda Honda is mi life.
Hi John, hope you are well! For the stainless rotor retainer bolts, do you have a source you can provide? I've drilled out my fair share of rotor retainers and I've never bothered to find a better version.
Aaron Benson We order them in bulk from Mc Master.
How far do you push the seal in the back of the transmission. I replaced mine and ruined my new clutch because it started leaking so I was hoping for a little clarification before I redo the job again.
I would look as the placement of the original seating position. You will see a mark on the shaft the old seal left behind. Make sure everything it lined up to prevent the seal folding over.
John, can you go into more explanation on why you and George aren't a fan of an aluminum flywheel? Does that only apply to the S2000 application? Been running the Clutchmasters FX300 and FX250 on the GD3 with their aluminum flywheel without an issue for a long time, would like to hear your feelings and experience on the subject. Did the owner of the car in the video go back to a stock one?
lcq4blackstar The main reason I think they are a little too light for street cars.
Agreed, mine came out to 8lbs, probably just over half the OEM weight. I think 10lbs would be the perfect balance in that application. Once you adapt to driving a light weight flywheel it's a non issue. They really change a stock engine's characteristics, glad to hear there isn't some issue I'd have to worry about.
Guys, what about the bolts that are used to attach the flywheel and the pressure plate? Do those need to be replaced every time? What's the confusion with loctite on the 12 point flywheel bolts?
You guys are my go to s2000 techs , I just bled my clutch fluid and my pedal isn’t a dead pedal but feels lighter then before ... normal ? No air is in the system when I bled , only fluid coming out . Thank you in advance .
Very informative video. I’ve read that on the RSX the exedy OE replacement clutch is the same thing as the Honda oem clutch. Apparently that is not the case for the s2000?
All s2000 clutches are manufactured by FCC - for the s2000 don’t go near Exedy.
What is the part number for the transmission Main seal?
can the honda grease be use on other non honda car?
Dear LHT I try to order this parts on your site. I'm having a hard time to find the parts and the price 😭😭😭😭😭 I need a new clutch for my s2k seen it just reach 100k miles
kim ealer We don’t have an e-commerce website that allows to buy and order from our site. If you’d like to call us we can take care of you.
Would the FX last as long as the OEM clutch?
20:18 Dang, left the bell housing covered with old clutch material? C’mon John/George!
I’m just poking fun, but kind of surprised at the same time.
Dustin I saw that too, but I think they changed the bell housing with the old one because of the transmission seal? You can see at 18:00 the new transmission bellhousing doesn’t have clutch dust.
Matthew Yang yeah maybe it was just the way the video was edited.
I need this! How much is this kit without the throw out bearing? I just ordered that from Honda before i seen this video smh.
thanks for providing this video information. i will buy your oem s2000 kit from you. i noticed that you did not include the an oem fly wheel with the kit. does it mean that i don't have to replace my oem fly wheel? my s2000 is about 105,000 miles. if i need to replace my fly wheel, can i replace it with a lighter fly wheel? can you recommend any lighter after market fly wheel to pair with an oem clutch?
The drive shaft bolts where can I get 12.9 grade bolts?
Hey Dudes,
I have a 92 Civic CX. I’m keeping it all OEM original. The D15B8 still has the original clutch and flywheel. Release arm is getting noisy so I’d like to change this out. I be surprised if the OEM is available but do you have a aftermarket compatible kit? I’m not running any hp. It only has 71hp. Just want to keep it running and reliable.
You can put an Exedy, just run an OEM / Nachi bearing. The bearing usually is the culprit to most failed clutches I’ve seen.
Can you give any advice to the goonzquad boys with the blown engine of their S2000?
amcluesent I don’t know them. What happened to their motor ?
ACT HD pressure plate or the OEM pressure plate for the 2005 s2000? I heard there was crank walk with ACT HD pressure plate ....which i was also told is now resolved. I see your site has both set up.
There is added wear on the thrust bearings which can cause crank walk. There’s no perfect clutch apart from the OEM Honda clutch. Every clutch with added torque holding capacity has a trade off unfortunately, you just have to find the one that suits your needs.
excuse me John, Where do i apply the YOUREAR Grase? besides the slider and shifter rebuild. thank you, my fx300 kit just arrived. very well packaged
Awesome. Apply the grease on the inside of the release bearing and slide. Then a small amount on the splines of the transmission. Not too much on the splines. Just enough to make them wet.
Driving manual transmission is harder then it looks.
What brand do s2000s use for OEM clutches? My eighth gen si uses an exety for the oe clutch. Maybe Sachs?
IWORKYOUWATCH FCC -Fuji Chemical Co
is that really wd-40 in the bottle ?! just wondering
I got Honda Civic si what clutch will be good for my fbo
How good does diff fluid smell 😅
Jaimes Gousteris Lol. One of the worst smells you’ll ever experience.....
Hello, where can i get those 12.9 grade bolts?
Is the throwout bearing a Nachi bearing?
Victor Fong Yes.
Hey how much is the full kit for the s2k??
how can i get like this kit
lol, rip transmission... with random bits falling out/about...
What’s the price for this kit?
not an impact screwdriver? do tell! also... i thought Exedy is the OEM manufacturer of Honda clutches. Is this not true? Do they use different throw-out and pilot bearings? Are they not the OEM manufacturers?
I believe they are the OEM clutch manufacturer.
phunkdoctaspock This not true. Exedy Do Not Make the clutch for Honda.
Can the ap1 flywheel generally be reused or resurfaced? Or should I plan to replace the fly wheel as well when doing the clutch?
Robert Gerety most cases the flywheel can be re surfaced
is that clutch you recommended, also recommended as a stage 1 clutch?
k_aus I would recommend this complete OEM clutch until 300whp. Then it needs an upgrade.
Do you know who is the manufacturer for Honda clutches?
Stan I’m not sure, I used to hear it was Exedy. But the OEM Honda clutch doesn’t look the same and it sure lasts and performs better.
All s2000 clutches are made, and branded, by FCC (Fuji Chemical Co).
You website is diabolically bad. Terribad. Horrible even. Makes it very difficult to find parts to buy.
We don’t sell parts on the site. Thanks for watching
LHTPerformance where can one figure out what parts you do and don’t sell?
What type of grease do you use on the throwout bearing?
Honda urea Grease. We sell it in the LHT Store. .
@@LHTPerformance Thanks, I usually use Super Space Grease and red grease. This time its Urea.
@@LHTPerformance Do you apply Urea to the input shaft spline too?
@@simpsonsdotcom yes. A small amount
