Clutch for CTSC?

[nsxsupra]

Anyone else still running OEM clutch with CTSC? How is your 1~2 shift.

After some driving today, it doesn't seem to like my 1~2 shift. I think it might be time for a new clutch:frown:. Should I get it adjusted before ordering a new clutch?

I did a little search and found that:
>A clutch that needs an adjustment will create the same symptoms as a >clutch that needs replacing. Replacing the clutch is typically a 5- to 6-hour >job (pricey!), while a clutch adjustment takes less than 5 minutes.

I love the feel of OEM clutch, another oem or RPS?

Quick 1~2 shift is very important with my driving style, I like ability of being able to go sideways with quick 1~2 shift occassionally. Oem clutch doesn't seem to like that at all.

Interesting post! I have been saying the same thing. I thought my clutch was bad too because on the 1-2 shift...it doesnt seem to grab or hook up like I wanted it too. While Im sure an aftermarket unit will help this issue, I really dont like throwing away a nearly brand new clutch and all the labor time.

My car is with Larry B. right now and he says there is nothing wrong with my clutch. I had him install a Comptech Short Shift, hopefully that will help.

The 1-2 shift in the S2000 is much more suited to my driving style.

If you decide to go new clutch, check out Science of Speed's OEM upgrade clutch. I put it on my '91 CTSC'd NSX and love it - twin-disk oem feel, with capability to handle 350 ft/lbs of torque. Awesome product.

There is no Adjustment of the NSX clutch..it is a hyd system that requires no adjustment.

I'd recommend looking at our clutch if you plan on keeping the supercharger system under 400 hp and prefer the feel of the factory clutch:

I'd recommend the RPS clutch if you don't mind an increase in pedal effort (it's really not that bad - see comments from others online):

The RPS is lightweight and allows flexibility for high horsepower applications.

As John mentions, once the clutch is worn, adjusting the clutch fork will not result in any significant increase life increase since it is self adjusting.

However, it is very important to adjust the master cylinder to set the initial clutch fork position especially when switching between clutch brands where the initial release bearing position may be different.
