I purchase one of these clutches months and months ago. Due to certain circumstances, I did not get a chance to install it until recently. Then I had the stripped bolt to deal with.
Well finally, the NSX is running and I’ve been trying to drive it a little here and a little there. Now that it’s fairly broken in, I’d like to share my impressions.
DRIVEABILITY:
The clutch is VERY smooth. Not once has it ever shuddered, chattered, or made the slightest noise. This was very very important to me, and I can honestly say, it is exactly how I wanted it. I have to admit, I did stall it reversing the first time. Yes, you can tell there is a lightened flywheel in there. It revs quicker, and thus, the revs fall faster. I didn’t want to write a review prematurely, as I wanted to get use to this. As I drove it more and more, I got use to the clutch and we’ve become good friends. I can now drive it like stock and can’t imagine how slow and sluggish my car would feel like with the OEM unit back in.
Pedal feel is very similar to stock. No additional pressure that I could feel. I've been driving the NSX to work about 2 days a week and I've been enjoying the drive very much. The bumper to bumper traffic hasn't become anymore intolerable. :smile:
PERFORMANCE:
I did push it a little on the streets(within speed limits/with no cars around). A few times I power shifted into 2nd gear. The first time, my neck snapped back. It certainly grabs, there is no doubting that. Another time, I took the traction control off, and rear end broke loose and went sideways a little. Another time, accelerating in first gear, from a roll, I floored it and again the backed started wiggling.
Day to day driving, the car feels faster. Acceleration while cruising seems easier. No need to down shift, just give a little gas, and the car starts pulling. Of course, we are not talking about massive turbo/sc’er acceleration here, but it is noticeable. I think it’s the combination of mods, but I’ve very happy how the car feels.
QUALITY:
Only time will tell. So far, from what I’ve seen, I’m very pleased. The clutch came with everything needed to install and there were no hiccups during installation. Chris and SOS have been a pleasure to deal with and very helpful. No regrets, a great clutch, I couldn’t imagine a better option for me.
NEXT:
I’m hoping to add a s/c in the future. Even without boost, I'm really liking this clutch.
