Clutch advise?!?!?!?
Okay so i want to upgrade my clutch because at higher rpms it slips like crazy. Other than that its actually pretty good. Engages smoothly and all. Now the thing is, i dont plan on keeping my 98 civic with my b16a2 swap much longer (maybe a year more). So i really dont want to go all out and spend a ridiculously high amount of money on a clutch, since i know i wont be getting my investment back. So the question now is what clutch can i get thats not to expensive, yet engages nicely but grips much harder than this stock crap. Ive heard people using act clutches with a stock pressure plate, not sure if thats a good idea or not. If money wasnt an issue i would just go and buy a complete competition clutch kit, i really like the stage 4 (just so u can get a taste of what im looking for).
thanks in advance,

Agreed! The stock clutch should hold just fine till you sell. But maybe trying going with a better brand oem replacement clutch like Exedy. It'll last longer.

buy a cheap ebay one, I bought a F1 brand i think it was not even sure, and it is comparable to my ACT one that i have now. Think I spent about 180 on it and the ACT i got a GOOD deal on but retails for around 500

i've had xtd clutches before. they grab pretty good. and they're cheap. i sure wouldn't spend money on an act or exedy if i was gonna sell my car. xtd and xtr clutches on ebay go for about $130 or so.

I'm currently using an XTD Stage 2 clutch and have had no problems out out of it, been in for probably 1 1/2 years now. Grabs/Hooks up very nice. Its got a pretty narrow engagement point so its not quite as easy to DD as a stock clutch but I like it and wouldn't give it up.
