just wondering what people are running for clutches ? and how they like them
The vast majority of NSX owners are running the OEM clutch. It's the best all-around clutch for stock/near stock power applications. I would not recommend any other clutch unless the power requirements dictated it...period.
okay but this is the third clutch this car has broken,what to do?
I believe burning cluches out has more to do with the driver than the cluch.
thanks but i think after 8 years of racing and and 18 years of driving i think i know how to use a clutch ,it's not burnt it's broken

i have only had the car for two months i don't drive it extremly hard as i have a race car for that ,when i say broken i mean broken the clutch disk where the springs are broke . the clutch broke on the last owner in the same fasion about five years ago (just a guess ) he never drove the car very much. I have only put about 5000 km on it ,so i would guess the clutch has about 15000 total km .the clutch still has lots of meet left so it can't have that many km on it
it depends on how you drive the car.
if you do clutch drops and high rpm slips for racing, you definitly can bust the stock clutch.
if you know how to drive the car and dont race.... the clutch should defintily NOT be braking at the springs.
this usually only happens during high rpm launches. i broke mine with off the line launch.
this is why i use a soild clutch disk, no springs :smile:
but there are still other things to brake besides the friction disk.
if you know your going to abuse the car/clutch with racing i would go aftermarket with a friction material built to handle the extra abuse.
the springs on a solid high quality clutch will not brake under normal/abusive driving conditions.
i would bet that your clutch is probably not an oem but a cheap knock off... unless you drop the clutch or do launches.
thanks for the input . the last clutch was bougt from acura, so i think i will go after market and see how it lasts.
So which clutch are you braking? NA1 dual disc or late model single disc?
na1 dual disk ,broke the outer one in two places
