Default tranny/press plate/disc/flywheel question(s)

ok i currently have a b18c1 engine with a ys1 LS transmission in my crx. my current clutch flywheel setup is a mystery. i just bought a b16 cable trans to put on the car. with it im getting a clutchmasters HD pressure plate.

my first question is on the clutch disc. the person who sold me the tranny told me that it is a 90-91 tranny. so i will need to get a 90-91 disc correct? he said that 90-91 and 92+ differ in the number of splines on the input shaft. is this correct? also what clutch disc would you recommend. i dont want it to be too aggressive but i want a nice bite to it. how much should i expect to spend on a disc? new? used?

next question is on the pressure plate. the previous owner said that it bolted to the flywheel with 9 bolts. while skimming through the helms and seeing what its gonna take to install all this it says that the pressure plate is held with only 6 bolts. the helms is for a 94 integra. do the 94+ integras only use 6 bolts? secondly, does with matter? if my current setup only uses 6 bolts will i be able to use this pressure plate with only 6 bolts out of the 9? does the flywheel only have 6 bolt holes in the 94+ flywheels?

pics of what im talking about.
from helms....

from a b16....

no there isnt any difference in spline count between the 90-93 integra ys1 ls tranny.. it should have the same count... and its 9 bolts for the flywheel in 90-93 integra and the 94+ its 6 bolts for the flywheel...

I don't know if this is any help but I just replaced my clutch/ flywheel (J1 tranny) in my B16a CRX. I bought a Exedy Stage 2 thick cerematallic clutch, but I found out there is a error in their catalog. They do not have a thick disc to fit the smaller diameter shaft in my transmisson (only a thin disc). I had to return it and go with a stage 1 organic disc which I don't regret because it drives just like a stock clutch. My ACT Street Light flywheel is held on by 6 bolts and pressure plate by 9 bolts. So just be carefull and torque everything down and it doesn't hurt to use locktite.

ok so the general concensus from another board is that the newer b series do indeed use 6 bolts and that i can use the 9 bolt PP on a 6 bolt flywheel with no problems.

anyone know a good place to buy clutch discs? i just need the disc not a whole clutch kit. what can i expect to pay for the clutch disc alone? recommendations on what i should get? i dont want a pucked clutch, a nice organic disc will do me just fine but i want something with a little more bite and a bit more strength then the stock disc.
