Default Action clutch review 2ms

Well after asking questions if it would be too much for my car
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1193444
, right now i have a ls motor almost stock, a waiting turbo but i decided to go ahead and install the clutch just to be ready. Their were mix review that it would be too much and some other people loved it.
I got to say its not to hard to drive very drivable. On a almost stock car for now. I got the 2ms I recommended, i am still in break in period but this thing grabs, cant wait to see what it does on high rpm launches. hopefully it will help someone with the review on choosing a clutch.

Are you sure that is not a 2md? that looks like a dual diaphram pressure plate.

Where does the clutch engage ? does it grab just as you are letting it out or does it grab toward the end of the pedal release ?

The 2ms and 2md are very similar. They share the same dual diaphram pressure plate. The only differnence is the 2md is unsprung, and the 2ms is sprung. Both are 6 puck.

I am going to be buying a 2ms soon... Does anyone have any reviews of the clutch after it has been broken in? The 2md tends to get quite a bit harsher once borken in.

I am currently running a 2ms clutch. It has been in for 1-1.5 years. Still grabs as good as when I put it in. I drive my car pretty hard and I never even broke in the clutch. Action Clutches

How much power are you producing? How heavy is your flywheel? Does the clutch make any noise? Can you "slip" the clutch at all (for daily driving pourposes)?

the only thing with first gear when i try to get moving the car shakes a bit, but after that i would say all the gears go in smooth. the pedals seems to be getting a bit harder the more i drive. but i was expecting it to be to hard to engage. This clutch is veryyyyy drivable in daily commute, not hard at all engagement is really good i though i though i was going to be struggling, but nope. so highly recommended it

The engagement properties are really what sets Action above other clutches on the market. Theyre pedal feel and linear engagement is why so many people love them. Alex and the guys at Action are a great group of guys, who put out a great product, and who really care about their customers. Glad to hear youre happy!!!

I love my 2ms, works great.

And those talking about a 6puck clutch breaking in...It takes about 1 good launch and thats it.

Organic style clutches are the only ones that need the break in period.
