Clutch Pedal Freeplay | Honda S2000

First time uploading in 4k and using a pop filter with my new mic. Enjoy.
Hey everyone! Let’s talk about clutch pedal freeplay. This seems to be a confusing topic for many people so I figured a video explanation would clear things up.
Clutch pedal freeplay is the area of clutch pedal travel where there is no resistance and thus no hydraulic pressure disenging the friction disc. You can see how much freeplay your clutch has by using your pinky finger to press down on the clutch pedal until there is significant resistance. A small amount of freeplay is absolutely normal and even desirable by some as I’ll explain later...
On the Honda S2000 clutch pedal free play is caused by two things: slop in the clutch master cylinder rod adjustment and play that is actually built into the clutch master cylinder. If you want to maximize clutch disengagement for the smoothest possible shifting you can remove clutch pedal freeplay by adjusting the clutch master cylinder rod. Today I’ll show you how to get rid of the clutch pedal freeplay caused by slop in the clutch master cylinder rod. You’ll want to leave the freeplay in the clutch master cylinder alone.
1. The first thing you want to do is take a 12mm wrench and loosen the lock nut holding the clutch master cylinder rod in place. When the clutch master cylinder rod is unadjusted it should be completely effortless to rotate the rod clockwise and counter clockwise. Before proceeding make sure there is no resistance in either direction.
2. Then use your fingers to gently rotate the clutch master cylinder rod clockwise with your fingers until you feel the a very slight resistance. At this point the slop in the clutch master cylinder rod is completely removed. You can double check that you’ve found this sweet spot by rotating the rod counter clockwise and then rotating it clockwise again.
3. Once you’re sure you’ve found the sweet spot that eliminates clutch master cylinder rod freeplay simply using a 12mm wrench to tighten the lock nut holding the clutch master cylinder rod in place.
At this point the only clutch pedal freeplay left should be from the clutch master cylinder itself. You should see about a quarter of an inch of travel when testing with your pinky finger.
As I close out this video I want remind you that removing clutch pedal freeplay will move the clutch engagement point away from the floor. You might be bothered by having such a high clutch engagement point so it could take several adjustments to find a clutch engagement point that works for you.

You’re a doctor man! Literally the only video on KZbin on how to do this and high quality 🤙🏽

[@DIYGuysvideo]

+TheMainManMAC420 That’s part of the reason I did it! Thanks

[@winniethecuc6717]

This video helped me heaps! My accord euro had grinding issues when going into reverse and hard to go into first gear occasionally, turns out the clutch wasnt fully disengaged and following the video solved all my problems and potentially saved me money. Anyone else experiencing this should give this a try. Thanks a lot!

[@5ermad]

Thanks for such a clear and easy to follow video. My clutch had always been grabbing really aggressive and it would jerk the car so much I thought it was because it was a stage 2 clutch but after doing what you did my clutch engages so perfect and its so easy to drive from a stop now.

[@rossott]

After changing my clutch and slave cylinder I had so much free play I could barely get it into gear. Thanks for the video! After adjusting it shifts great now!

[@azburley]

[@Mrbikertomtom]

Epic video. Thankyou very much. I have just bought an AP1 and noticed a very small drip on the back of the clutch pedal. I believe it may well be the master cylinder leaking after seeing this!

[@fhowland]

Fantastic video! I just bought an s2000 and the free play had me a little concerned, as my Civic SI has none (same pedals). Glad it know it’s common and easily adjusted!

[@Pwillig]

I couldn't twist the clutch rod at first by hand, but luckily some light over twist with the wrench on the adjustment nut loosened it up. And thanks to this adjustment I noticed the clutch stop pad had practically disintegrated.

[@gpadepedro]

Thank you for this guide man. I had my master cylinder and slave replaced on my Honda Civic 2006 FD. But I noticed the clutch bite point is way too low. Did this and my bite point is now at my sweet spot.

+jddonegan You're welcome!

[@HasinaHr]

Excelent video. However, it is important to have a minimum freeplay to prevent the release bearing from constantly pressing on diaphragm springs and cause clutch slippage. I guess freeplay varies from models but on mine, Honda recommends freeplay between 8mm and 18mm

[@heatherh2784]

[@kk-yy8oi]

Thanks for the video .. I always curious ... When you press clutch paddle.. you press straight down .. but what if sometimes you are moving your left leg from the resting plate and step on kind of from side and the motion is like instead of pressing it straight down but like 45 degree ... I know the paddle will still go down .. but will that do any damage to the paddle? Thanks

Thank u buddy

[@paulthomas4583]

[@giyoon215]

Thanks!!! I just adjusted mine. Could you do a video for clutch interlock switch bypass (for thrust bearing care)?

[@DIYGuysvideo]

+Gi Yoon You are welcome. I can look into it. I don't have any heavy duty pressure plates on my own cars but if it's easy and reversible enough sure.

[@orionmengistu452]

Thank u Bro

[@paulpressler2866]

I'm having a tough time turning the rod on my Accord clockwise. I noticed that it will turn counterclockwise fairly easy. Any suggestions?

[@gerik3343]

so i just change my new clutch to act/oem combo... after loosing the nut i cant even move the rod by hand.. does that meant its already push all the way out?and my clutch still grabs too low

[@giof6754]

Great explanation. So it's okay for the clutch cylinder rod to move slightly as the free play.

[@DIYGuysvideo]

Yep, there will always be a little bit of free play

[@zongxina1817]

thanks & subbed

[@MrDiego57101]

[@darren9819]

Nice video. Whats the plans for the future of the s2000? How about a K&N intake system install maybe?

[@DIYGuysvideo]

+Darren Walsh I promise I will go into more detail about this soon. General idea is keeping the car as stock as possible. I've had the K&N I take on two S2000s already so in the event that I do something it will be something different. I mostly want to spend my money on consumables and seat time. Would love to do some tire, brake, and mod reviews.

[@jordan4541]

My honda civic freeplay seems to increase and decrease on it's own depending on driving style. For example. I would have the amount of freeplay as you showed in the beginning under normal driving conditions and then when I am needing to hold the clutch pedal down halfway for longer e.g. parking or moving in slow traffic, I find that the freeplay gets extra sloppy and ends up being almost halfway down before feeling pressure and then at some point during the rest of the drive it automatically readjusts itself to what it was before. So would adjusting it like shown in the video be any help?

[@trunks4696]

I would also love to know this if the clutch is adjusting because i can notice the play and me being conscious to it.

[@DriversTherapy]

Question, by turning the rod clockwise, would that move the bite point closer or farther away from the floor? Thank you. Great Video!

[@DIYGuysvideo]

Farther away from the floor actually. When you turn the rod clockwise you are actually extending it further into the clutch master master so you will feel the bite towards sooner, towards the top of the pedal.

[@DriversTherapy]

Thank you for that explanation. So what is the ideal position? I know it varies person to person but would the general area be for the bite to be closer to the floor or as far as the top of the pedal possible?

[@DIYGuysvideo]

I prefer close to the top because it means the clutch is disengaged sooner. I feel like this translates into less gear grinds and smoother shifts.

[@t8rsmile]

Diy guys please clarify this youre saying two different things

[@DIYGuysvideo]

Yeah clutch terminology is confusing. What I mean is the friction disc separates from the flywheel sooner.

[@misterman124]

Should we have to remove all the slack on master cylinder rod or left up with little slack remaining?

[@DarkFalcon6484]

very nice. I feel my freeplay is quite loose so I'll take a look at it now!

[@DIYGuysvideo]

+GPW AP2 Type-S I feel like Joey would have adjusted it but it doesn't hurt.

[@DarkFalcon6484]

I did the fix and I can say my clutch pedal feels less stiff than it used to be. The engagement point is a bit higher but smoother. 110k miles and I think this fix was overdue for my car. thanks agai!

[@DIYGuysvideo]

+GPW AP2 Type-S anytime baron!

[@Ditty27]

My vw touran has this loose freeplay on clutch pedal, i always thought it was broken or smth. i changed the clutch and flywheel and now the bitting point is so high my dad was having trouble on uphill 1st gear. so all i should do is what you did on your video and adjust it to my preference? (our*) xD

[@sleepytimemeditation3618]

Hey man awesome video, I’m having trouble rotating the clutch master cylinder rod counter clock wise. Do you know why or how I could get it to loosen up.

[@DIYGuysvideo]

I’m guessing you’ve loosened the nut right? The adjustment may be maxed out. Otherwise vice grips or pliers can help.

[@mrsemifixit]

With a new clutch adjusting like in the video makes the engagement at the very top of the pedal. Is it ok to adjust so there’s a lot more pedal play so it engages more about 1/2 pedal travel?

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

Yes. But not adjusted too much where at the bottom of the pedal travel, your car is still slipping and causing the car to move. But if you adjusted that much, your bite point wouldn't be at the middle of the total pedal travel. What I find is that the bite point IS AT THE TOP OF THE PEDAL TRAVEL (of the tension part). Meaning if you adjusted the clutch to have more slop at the top...that Slop (freeplay) isn't part of the "tension part". Your bite point is still towards the top of the tension part.

[@GLo1991]

Man, I ended up rounding the nut a bit, are you turning the right way in this video? I see you turning counter clockwise

[@taospencer1403]

Skoda Garage wanted £850 off me when I can, hopefully just do this & top up the fluid to fix the issue..

[@kalmtraveler]

after replacing the master and slave cylinders because the master was leaking - I'm noticing that the engagement/disengagement all happens at the very top of pedal travel - within maybe the first inch. It didn't seem to be so high or such a short amount of pedal travel before. Does this suggest that the clutch is almost gone, even though mileage is barely 45000?

[@PaulMrPKcom]

Hi! Great video but I cant turn around the master cylinder rod... I have no free play at all right now and the problem is that my clutch is sliding. It´s a new clutch and new fly wheel. The engine was out and everything is very clean and nice inside so I suspect the lack of free play.. or could it be something else ? Hope for some advice. Thanks!

[@DIYGuysvideo]

It does sound like there is absolutely no free play. I would back it off until you get some free play.

[@HiFiInsider]

on my 95 Civic, when I followed your instructions the clutch bits rather high (almost at the top). Adjusting it down also lowered the pedal height. I also noticed a bit of slop (looser than the free-play) while adjusting. Should I remove the slop?

[@klemenzfreyr2106]

Hey did you figure it out. I have the same problem and its driving me nuts

[@HiFiInsider]

@@klemenzfreyr2106 unfortunately no. I've watched every video on YT, adjusted it like 10 times and could not get it right. Pls. let me know if you have a solution. thank you!

Loosen the lock nut...... rounded it first go! No more adjustment for me lol. Shoulda cracked it whilst the new master cylinder was off the car.

[@rrplymouth70]

Could you make a video on how to do a clutch replacement on the s2000? There aren't that many helpful vids on KZbin.

[@DIYGuysvideo]

+rrplymouth70 That is a pretty tall order ha. I mainly need a car that needs a clutch replaced. Hopefully my aftermarket clutch blows up soon. I have done the job twice before tho so it wouldn't be a problem.

[@GhxstMode]

Would this concept work on my 8th Gen ? This video actually explains a lot better than all the other videos I found for an Si but I notice that the idea is generally the same.

[@DIYGuysvideo]

Not sure

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

I have done this to my s2k for some time now. No issues. However I did it when the car was cold. Should this be done when the clutch fluid is warm, was told the fluid expands. In fact what I noticed is my clutch work and the car is much smoother shifting after a run on the high way as compared to before

[@DIYGuysvideo]

Doesn’t matter

[@MrRevto9k]

Also if you can do a shifter re-grease? Thanks 👍

[@markrodz2633]

which way allow you to lower the bite point on which the clutch engages? clock wise or counter?

[@DIYGuysvideo]

Counter clockwise will lower the note point.

[@vanquishstorm3806]

I'm having an issue with breaking the 12mm locknut free, when doing so the cmc push rod spins with the locknut. I tried using pliers to secure the push rod from spinning while breaking the locknut free but I haven't had much luck either. I'm hesitant to use vice grips because I don't want to mar up the push rod. How can I hold the cmc push rod in place to break the locknut free?

[@DIYGuysvideo]

I don’t have any advice h fortunately. I would probably use vice grips.

[@thekernel69]

did you figure out a solution to this because i'm having the same issue

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

There was another vid that says to do this procedure when car is warm because of expansion?

[@DIYGuysvideo]

I don't see how that would make much of a difference if at all.

[@CrocDaKIngg37]

question, whenever i go from 1st to 2nd gear quickly it will sometimes produce a grinding sound. So ive been shifting extra slow and really shifting it to 2nd with emphasis in order to avoid the grinding. Do you think this could be a possible solution? Thank you for the video btw! Learning alot

[@DIYGuysvideo]

Could be a lot of things. There is a TSB for this: www.s2ki.com/public/library/TSB/A00-055.pdf Otherwise it’s probably your synchros. You can try different transmission fluid but it probably won’t have dramatic results.

I bought a new car, th e clutch peddle free play is normal but the peddle is very tight at the clutch point. I have tested other cars of same model, their clutch is not tight. What should i do, where is the problem??

[@rhdadrian]

I replaced my cmc and slave, bleed the line but still No pressure on my pedal what could it be? And will this adjust help for a dead pedal?

[@DIYGuysvideo]

I have heard that bench bleeding the master cylinder can help in this case. Also, have you tried doing a two person bleed?

[@huangyishi]

Heya, As you know I've been following your vids for a while. Problem though! I've installed a new master cylinder, went to adjust freeplay - loosened 12mm nut, and for some reason I can't turn the rod? Is it cos it's a new CMC and it might be a bit tight? I've done it with my old CMC a while ago and I remember it was as you described "no effort to turn". Any ideas? :)

[@huangyishi]

Update! With grippier gloves I can adjust the rod, however it is still extremely tight! To the point where if I go all the way one way, it disconnects the rod from the whole assembly. Pretty much, there is resistance across the whole rod adjustment rather than any "no resistance" range.

[@DIYGuysvideo]

Loosen it until there is no resistance and the tighten from there.

[@huangyishi]

DIYGuys there is no point where there is no resistance. Kept going and it screwed out lol.

[@DIYGuysvideo]

In that case you can just screw until you see the piston of the clutch master cylinder move. It will be subtle to see. At that point you want to stop and back it off a little.

[@huangyishi]

DIYGuys lemme give it a try tomorrow. 5am where I am lol. Thanks for the response :) I've done it before on the old clutch master cylinder and that was like you said.. maybe just new oem tightness.

[@driftomagic16]

hey whats up. so i just replaced my master clutch cylinder because the old one was leaking. everything feels mutch better but the clutch feels a bit lower to the floor then i would like and wanted to raise it up some by loosening the lock nut behind the clutch pedal like you show here. like an idiot i ended up tightening the nut instead of loosening and now i cant seem to loosen it. any tips on how to get it out. it feels i stripped it a little. is it maybe because the threats are screwed?

[@DIYGuysvideo]

So the nut is rounded off? Vice grips maybe?

[@DIYGuysvideo]

Also the clutch pedal engaging low is probably air in the lines still.

[@driftomagic16]

yeah ill try vice grips hope i dont ruin the threads. yeah ill also continue to bleed the clutch some more though it seemed to have good pressure just didnt feel as long traveled as the previouse cmc

Mostly when the car is cold but it happens occasionally after it is warmed up as well. After spending some time on s2ki, I found this forum that spoke about a the same issues I had with this adjustment being the fix. Just bled the clutch and regreased the shifter so i can rule those out. My question to you is did you notice an clunky shifting or grinding prior to make the adjustment in this video? by the way, I am also located in the bay and would love to meet up sometime!
