The rubber seals inside the slave cylinder can also break down over time and contaminate the brake fluid. Low fluid can be caused by leaks in the system, and perhaps at the slave or master cylinders. Low or contaminated fluid in the reservoir is another symptom commonly associated with a problem with the clutch slave cylinder. The pedal may also sink all the way to the floor and stay there when depressed, and may not be able to properly disengage the clutch so the transmission can be safely shifted. If the clutch slave cylinder develops any sort of leak internally or externally it may cause the pedal to feel spongy or mushy. One of the first clues of a potential problem with the clutch master cylinder is abnormal clutch pedal feel.

Usually a clutch slave cylinder will produce a few symptoms that alert the driver that a problem has occurred and needs to be serviced.

When the clutch master cylinder has any problems, it can cause issues with shifting gears, which will take away from the overall drivability of the vehicle and can even damage to the transmission.

The clutch slave cylinder receives pressure from the master cylinder and extends a rod, which will push against a fork or lever to disengage the clutch. It works together with the clutch master cylinder to disengage the clutch when the pedal is pressed so that the transmission can be safely shifted.

The clutch slave cylinder is a component found on vehicles equipped with manual transmissions. I reached out to you guys a few days ago on Instagram. Please tell me what you guys think when it comes to clutches and whether or not an engine build that I am describing interests you guys in the future. However, I am originally from San Diego, California. As funny as it may sound, I daily the car to the University of Arkansas and occasionally track it at Hallett in Oklahoma. Currently my S2000 has a 12-point welded in roll cage with OMP racing bucket seats and 6-point harnesses. From my research both engines are very similar in design. I was very intrigued by your video about the 320 horsepower K20 engine running on California 91 octane. I would prefer to raise the RPMs if necessary to achieve my goal. I would like to achieve my goal of 300 horsepower without stroking out the engine. I don’t think I will need a clutch for massive amounts of power if I only plan of building a naturally aspirated motor. I strive on building a 300 horsepower all motor F20C through you guys in the near future, but I want to replace my clutch and flywheel now as it appears like it is about to go out.

We can honesty recommend this combo any day.Īre the other racing clutches for the Honda S2000 not streetable or not as desirable? I want to buy one of the most effective clutches for fast shifting and a somewhat small amount of power and torque. The HD clutch is easily up to the diametrically opposite tasks of hard track driving and being smooth and comfortable on the ride home.

Overall the ACT HD clutch and XACT Prolite lightweight flywheel are a great upgrade for those who have an S2K with moderate power increases that are daily driven. The clutch pedal is firm, but not overly stiff for daily driving, it's just stiffer than what we expected. Perhaps the clutch that was in the car was fatigued or speced on the light side. Perhaps this is because this clutch has 39% more clamping force when typically the ACT HD clutch has a 20-25% increase in clamping load.

Normally on other cars we have tested with this same clutch combo, the clutch pedal effort was marginally changed. That clutch was a no name aftermarket stock replacement clutch so who knows what its rating was, but the ACT clutch pedal is about 50% stiffer. The only slight negative issue we noted is that the clutch pedal effort is pretty noticeably increased over the clutch that was in the car.
