Clutch Masters 01-09 Honda S2000 2.0L/2.2L FX300 Clutch Kit
Clutch Masters 08023-HRTZ is the FX300 single disc clutch kit for the 2001-2009 Honda S2000, covering both the 2.0L F20C and the later 2.2L F22C1. It is aimed at the S2000 owner whose stock clutch is slipping after a supercharger, a turbo kit or serious naturally aspirated work, and who still wants a clutch that drives like a street car and lasts.
The S2000 makes its power high in the rev range, and the stock clutch is comfortable with factory torque. Add forced induction and the torque arrives earlier and much harder, which is where a worn or stock disc starts to slip. The FX300 combines the Power Plus I heavy duty pressure plate with a steel backed segmented Kevlar disc. Segmenting the Kevlar concentrates clamp load on a smaller area, which raises holding power while keeping the long life Kevlar is known for. Clutch Masters rates it at a 110 percent increase in holding capacity.
Clutch Masters pitches the FX300 at highly tuned naturally aspirated cars, medium boost turbo or supercharged setups and up to 100 hp of nitrous. The disc has a marcel spring wafer for smoother engagement, the pedal is only slightly heavier than stock, and the Kevlar is non-abrasive so it does not score the flywheel. It is a street clutch: Clutch Masters says it is not intended for track use. If the car sees regular track days or very high boost, step up to a ceramic kit such as the FX400 6-puck (08023-HRC6), accepting a harsher engagement.
Road test in fourth from mid rpm at full throttle and look for the tach climbing without matching road speed. On an S2000, check the clutch hydraulics before condemning the disc: old fluid, a soft slave cylinder or air in the line will change pedal feel and engagement. Inspect the bellhousing for oil from the rear main seal. Our slipping diagnosis guide lays out the test, and manual vs automatic repair cost helps you budget the job.
Clutch Masters lists 08023-HRTZ for the 2001-2009 S2000 with either the 2.0L or 2.2L engine, and our listing covers the same range. The 2.2L F22C1 arrived with the North American AP2 update, which also shortened the gearing, but the clutch part number is shared across both engines. The very first 2000 model year cars are not on the Clutch Masters application list for this part, so 2000 owners should send us the VIN before ordering. If the car has a swapped engine or transmission, match what is in it now.
If your flywheel is worn or you want a lighter one, the ACT XACT Streetlite flywheel for the S2000 is one option; confirm it with us against your clutch choice.
