Clutch Rebuild?

[Todd McKelvie]

I have an 02 with 35k miles and my clutch was slipping if I got on it hard...especially from a stop when I brought the rev's above 4k.

I just had an RPS clutch installed and it is way too stiff for my daily driver. It is absolutely incredible (it grabs like a mofo and allows the engine to rev much quicker) for a performance NSX or one that someone wanted to just plain drive harder, but not what I want for a daily driver.

My questions is: Are there performance rebuild parts for the OEM clutch that allwos you to keep the OEM pedal pressure?...lightened flywheel, disc's, pressure plates? I found this site http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/shop_brands/centerforce.html

I also found this site: http://www.ultrarev.com/Clutchmasters_Aluminum_Flywheel_Acura_NSX_1997_2002_6cyl_3.2L-p25655.html

So why not just put in the lightened flywheel and replace the stuff that wears out? I'm not a mechanic, but is sounds like it may work?

Has anyone just had their clutch rebuilt...used the Clutchmasters Aluminum Flywheel?

If you want OEM clutch feel you have a couple of choices.

Replace your clutch disk in your original clutch, but this really needs a good look at the flywheel to see of it is OK. As you probably know the flywheel is pretty expensive. ($2000+)

CenterForce does make a very nice performance rebuild for the dual plate clutch(1991-1996). You will need a core dual plate clutch, and you will need to install an NSX-R mainshaft in your 6 speed.

That Ultrarev.com site has some interesting goodies for the NSX besides clutches.
