Clutch Masters 01-09 Honda S2000 2.0L/2.2L FX100 Clutch Kit
The Clutch Masters 08023-HR00 is the FX100, the mildest street kit Clutch Masters makes for the Honda S2000. It fits the 2001-2009 cars with both the 2.0L and the later 2.2L engine. Most S2000 owners shopping for it have a tired original clutch: slipping in the upper gears at VTEC, a high engagement point, or a release bearing that has started to whine. If the car is stock or has only an intake, exhaust or header, the FX100 restores grip without making the S2000 harder to drive in traffic.
The S2000 sends power through a single dry clutch to its 6-speed manual, and because the F20C and F22C engines make their power high in the rev range, a worn disc usually shows up as slip near redline rather than at low speed. The FX100 uses the Clutch Masters Power Plus I heavy duty pressure plate with a steel-backed organic disc and a marcel spring wafer for a soft, progressive take-up. Clutch Masters rates it at 70 percent more holding capacity than stock, with only slightly higher pedal effort, normal engagement feel and longer life than the factory clutch. It is designed for naturally aspirated cars with bolt-ons or up to a 50 hp nitrous shot, not for turbo or supercharged builds.
The kit includes the pressure plate, disc, an alignment tool, an instruction card and decals, plus OEM NACHI pilot and release bearings, so you are not reusing worn bearings behind a fresh clutch.
A high-gear pull from about 4,000 RPM is the classic S2000 slip test: the tach should rise smoothly with speed through the VTEC crossover. If it jumps, the disc is slipping. Our slipping diagnosis guide explains the test, and flare vs. slip helps if the symptom is subtle. Grinding into gears is a different problem; the S2000 6-speed problems page covers synchro wear and other gearbox faults so you can rule them out.
Clutch Masters lists 08023-HR00 for the 2001-2009 Honda S2000 with the 2.0L or the 2.2L engine, and our listing matches that range. The S2000 went on sale in the US as a 2000 model; if you have a 2000 car or a swapped engine, send us your year and VIN so we can confirm the match before we ship. Compare all S2000 stages on our clutch kits page.
Planning more power later? The FX200 Kevlar kit keeps the same holding with longer wear, and the FX300 is the next step up.

Yes. Clutch Masters lists it for the 2001-2009 S2000 with either the 2.0L or the 2.2L engine. For a 2000 model or an engine swap, send us the VIN to confirm.
No. Clutch Masters designs the FX100 for naturally aspirated cars with bolt-ons or up to 50 hp of nitrous. Boosted cars should look at a higher stage.
Yes. The kit includes OEM NACHI pilot and release bearings along with the pressure plate, disc and alignment tool. A flywheel is not included.
Only slightly. Clutch Masters describes the FX100 as having slightly increased pedal pressure with normal, smooth engagement, so it drives much like a new factory clutch.
Resurface or replace the flywheel, use the new bearings from the kit, inspect the release fork and pivot, and bleed the clutch hydraulics with fresh brake fluid.
