#Honda s2000 clutch delay valve upgrade#
This kit will ensure you get great feedback and pressure, so you get the best possible performance out of a clutch upgrade or factory clutch. The N1 Clutch Master / Slave Cylinder Upgrade Kit is the perfect complement to your upgraded clutch. Also, due to the nature of the delay valve, additional clutch slip is generated and can greatly increase clutch wear and shorten the life of the clutch.

This is great if you don't know how to modulate a clutch properly, but for performance drivers it can be a huge hindrance as it takes control away from the driver. In addition, the hydraulic force is not fully transmitted to the clutch fork and thus pressure plate disengagement is compromised.Ĭlutch Slave Cylinders (on most newer Hondas and Acuras) have a delay valve that lessens the shock induced when dumping the clutch by limiting how fast the clutch can engage. This can leave you stranded as the master cylinder is no longer able to generate hydraulic pressure to actuate the clutch. This diaphragm becomes a problem as it is prone to leaking or even blowing out completely. These vibrations mainly stem from the clutch release bearing when engaging the pressure plate.

It's like the AP2 S2000, the delay valve and a lower redline helps to prevent blowing up the rear diff.Īll in all, the mod is worth it, but understand there is a chance of increases transmission wear if you shift poorly.Clutch Master Cylinders (CMCs) (on most newer Hondas and Acuras) have a dampening diaphragm that helps subdue tiny vibrations in the pedal. There is a reason why Honda put a delay valve, so people don't blow their transmission and axles. As long as you shift properly (let the RPMs drop a bit and don't pop the clutch), the chances of you blowing a transmission like in the Honda B and D series days are slim to none. The only real downside to this mod is that you can destroy your transmission if you shift aggressively and pop the clutch, i.e., bang gears. There is no more vagueness in the clutch pedal and I know 100% when the clutch engaging the flywheel & pressure plate. Even downshifts into 2nd at 40mph are smoother. With the CDV removed, my shifts are smooth into all the gears. People used to make fun of me for having rough shifts into 2nd gear.

Since I'm replacing the Clutch Master Cylinder (CMC), I might as well replace the Clutch Slave Cylinder (CSV) and remove the Clutch Delay Valve (CDV).Īfter having a local shop install my new parts, I noticed the clutch pedal was heavier and engaged consistently. My clutch master cylinder decided to shit itself internally and gave me a clutch pedal with more sudden freeplay.
