1800F getting alot of slippage lately. I was looking at them all and they all have mixed reviews. I generally ride pretty normal with some occainsional spirtited driving.

kinda like goldilocks when it comes to clutches:

kewlmetal too much,
barnett's not enough,
mtc seems just right.

i was sold on the barnett's but after more reading it
really seems the mtc is worth the extra effort and
so that's probably what i will go with eventually.

i have the barnett carbon fiber with the barnett springs it seems to be god thus far (1000 miles) neutral can be a lil tought o find though.

Rockgt302, have you done the clutch springs yet? changed mine out with barnetts and shimmed them .090 and it works great, others shim them .140 . No slippage and I beat on mine constantly.......Dallas

Put in the Barnett Carbons and springs also. Fixed the slipping but, does make a harder shift and neutral find. Some folks use the dimpled stock plates. Says it traps oil and reduces heat. Something to consider. Didn't shim the springs (didn't come with any) but, doesn't need any more tension anyway. Hooks up just fine under heavy load. Did use a touch of Blue Loctite on the bolts, just to be sure they don't back out.

I run the stock Honda platew with the HD Barnett Springs and NO Problems here.
Even with a 240 set up she Hooks up fine with No Slippage.

Barnett

2002 1800S 30k miles.

I tried just the springs...they did well for the first couple hundred miles before it started to slip.

I went back in and installed the Barnett clutch kit... almost a thousand miles....still no problems.

Sometimes its hards find neutral but it was worth the work.

I installed the Barnett with the HD springs about 5000 miles ago, works great but it is a little harder to pull. Very happy

MTC for me. And I'm spraying a 40 shot of NOS. No Slipping.

Just installed MTC with MTC springs. I haven't tried the Barnett's yet.

My experience has been about the same as the above mentioned. I started getting slipping really bad about 15,000 miles in. I choose to ignore it for awhile. Eventually this board convinced me that springs would do the trick. Bought them and installed. Less than 1000 miles and it was slipping again. I ignored it for another year before once again listening to the board. I bought and installed the barnett system. NICE. I never really realized just how bad the stock plates were slipping. I've got power back in places that I didn't realize was lacking. The down side is while the clutch was bad, I got the best tire wear ever. I made it one whole year on one set. When the clutch works I usually do two sets per year. At any rate, I love the Barnetts even though shifting is a little different now and neutral is hard to find. Do it again ? Hell yeah. Should have done it the first time instead of wasting money on those stupid springs.
