Type-R Clutch upgrade kit
Lightweight twin plate clutch kit
For the 5-speed NSX owner (and 6 Speed with a R inputshaft) seeking the ultimate driving experience without sacrificing OEM reliability, A.S. Motorsport has assembled the definitive solution. We have taken the guesswork out of refreshing your drivetrain by creating a perfectly synergistic package that delivers the legendary feel and performance of the original NA1 NSX-R.
This kit combines the best of both worlds: the sharp, instantaneous response of the 5.2kg RFY chromoly flywheel and the proven, smoothness and torque capacity of the friction discs and specified by Honda for the Type-R. The result is a complete, bolt-on system that transforms your car's character, providing an aggressive performance gain while maintaining the integrity of a factory-engineered system.
The Resulting Driving Experience
Expect a revolutionary change in your NSX's dynamics. The engine will rev with an immediacy and eagerness that mirrors the fabled Type-R. Clutch engagement is positive and direct, yet perfectly manageable for street driving thanks to the OEM components. This is the way the NSX was always meant to feel: connected, sharp, and exhilarating.
A Complete, Curated Solution
This is not just a collection of parts; it's a comprehensive overhaul kit where every component is selected to work in perfect harmony.
Exactly what's needed for a well maintained car
This kit is intended to refresh a OE twin plate clutch with a good pressure plate and mid plate, as we'd generally do in the shop if those two are within factory tolerance (they often are).
If your full set is burnt or warped we can supply those components too.
The kit includes:
- RFY Lightweight Chromoly Flywheel (5.2kg): For a 26% reduction in rotational mass and lightning-fast engine response.
- Genuine Honda OEM NSX Friction Discs: The exact factory spec used on the Type-R for superior torque handling and progressive feel.
- Genuine Honda OEM Throw-out Bearing: Ensures smooth, quiet, and reliable clutch actuation for years to come.
- Genuine Honda OEM Pilot Bearing: The essential support bearing for the transmission input shaft.
- Complete Hardware Set: Includes all new high-tensile flywheel and pressure plate bolts for a secure, professional installation.
