ACT 2000 Honda S2000 HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit
ACT HS2-HDG6 is a Heavy Duty race clutch for the Honda S2000, listed here for the 2000 model year and built to the same F20C/F22C bellhousing used through 2009. It is aimed at owners whose AP1 or AP2 has outgrown the factory clutch: supercharged or turbocharged cars that flare the tach in third at high rpm, track cars that cook organic discs after a few sessions, and drag or autocross builds that want a disc that will not fade after repeated launches.
The kit combines ACT's H021 Heavy Duty pressure plate with a 6212210 six-pad ceramic race disc. The disc keeps a sprung center, so the hub springs still soak up driveline shock instead of passing it straight into the six-speed gearbox, which matters on a car that sees hard shifts near the 8,000-plus rpm redline. ACT rates the assembly at 475 ft-lb at the crank, 78 percent over the factory clutch, on an 8.3 in (212 mm) disc with a 1.03125 in input shaft.
ACT describes the feel as light to moderate pedal effort with aggressive engagement and OE to mild gear rattle. The six-pad ceramic face takes heat that would glaze an organic disc, but it grabs harder and leaves less room to slip the clutch in a parking lot. If the car is mostly a street driver with bolt-ons, the HS2-HDSS organic kit is the friendlier choice; this race disc is for cars that have already proven an organic clutch is the weak link.
The box includes the H021 pressure plate, 6212210 disc, RB105 release bearing, PB6904 pilot bearing and AT61 alignment tool. A flywheel is not included.
On an S2000, check the hydraulics first: a soft pedal or a clutch that releases near the floor is usually air or a leaking master or slave, not the disc. To test for slip, roll in fourth at about 3,000 rpm and go to full throttle; if the tach jumps faster than road speed, the clutch is slipping. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the steps, and shift flare vs. slip helps separate a clutch problem from other driveline issues. Noise that only appears with the pedal down is the release bearing, which this kit replaces.
Our listing is titled for the 2000 Honda S2000. ACT's application chart for HS2-HDG6 covers every US S2000: 2000-2003 with the 2.0L F20C and 2004-2009 with the 2.2L F22C, including the 2008-2009 CR. Before ordering, confirm the car still has its original six-speed and has not been swapped, and if you are unsure send us the year and VIN and we will check it against the chart. Other S2000 clutches, flywheels and parts are in our rebuild kits and clutch section.

No. It includes the pressure plate, disc, release bearing, pilot bearing and alignment tool. ACT offers the 600355 Streetlite and 600350 Prolite flywheels for this kit.
It can be driven on the street, but engagement is aggressive. ACT recommends it for high horsepower street or race use. For a mostly stock street car, the HS2-HDSS organic kit is smoother.
ACT says its Heavy Duty pressure plates usually raise pedal effort 15 to 40 percent depending on the car, and lists this kit as light to moderate effort.
