Default v6 clutch, can I use a 3.2 clutch or need 3.0?

My throw out bearing is noisy and the OEM clutch can't handle stock power, and it's only been 18 months....

Anyway, I had a Centerforce in my supra and prelude, loved it, but they only list for the 3.2....will it fit my 3.0?

So the "first" OEM clutch lasted for how long - years and miles? Then it was replaced with another OEM set and lasted 18 months and how many miles?

I call the company and see if the 3.2 will fit your car.

I had to replace broken clutch and flywheel day 3 of ownership at 155k, now at 178k and the bearing is toast. I FINALLY got an answer from a different dealership today that the warranty is expired. So since I'm now a tech in a nice shop I'll just do it at work and make sure it's done right. I think they installed the old bearing.

What does the invoice show, what all was replaced. Online dealer prices for the flywheel and clutch set - which does not include the throw out bearing - are over $800 (in the US), then add OE dealer labor rates....I'm guessing that was an easy 2K. So if I paid that much and 18 months later and less than 24K miles and it went out again, someone would be hearing from me.

Yes, you can go aftermarket for the clutch set up - pressure plate, disc, throw out bearing. pilot bearing and flywheel.

My question really was around the comment that the OE set up could not handle the OE power of the car.

The dealer tried to say my clutch fork was bad and causing it....no, it shifts buttery smooth. And quoted it for $1100 after I just had the work done. Why would they install a bad part?

Anyway, **** the dealer....DOES THE 3.2 CLUTCH FIT THE 3.0?

Did you call the company selling the 3.2 clutch?

Of course. Nobody will give an answer to avoid potential liability if it doesn't fit or causes damage, hence why I came here to ask other enthusiasts who have frankensteined Hondas.
