Default Which clutch disc is this? (ACT or Honda oem)



I'm trying to get a definitive answer....so I can be sure to order the same disc.
I looked all over and didn't see anything saying "ACT" on it. But I bought it in '99 with an ACT HD pressure plate. Just don't recall if this is oem or act. Thx

that disk looks stock because ACT discs come with 6 springs not 4

On mine there was an orange sticker on one side. It would be in the middle so it can't get rubbed off. Also if it wasn't used it would have ACT stamped on the outer ring (not sure what it's called.) Don't mind the middle finger I was just mad because I bought the wrong clutch, but you can see where the stamp would've been.

Ronin150:
Thanks for the good info. Much appreciated
Haha..I think I have SEVERAL pictures of me flipping stuff off so don't even worry about it

ACRProject:
Are you sure about that statement?
(that disk looks stock because ACT discs come with 6 springs not 4)
Check out this picture from ACT's website (I ran through their eStore for the 90 Honda CRX Si). It has 4 springs

Here is my 90-91 integra act clutch disc, it has 6 springs. It could just be the b-series, but all b-series act clutch discs i have owned all had 6 springs. Can't always go by the pictures of the website, since they might not be for your application.

ACRProject:
Good info/reply.

My fault - I neglected to mention this is for a D series engine (90 CRX Si tranny with DOHC ZC blacktop)

I'm not sure if the D series clutch discs from ACT are mostly or all 4-spring?

Anyways, despite all the helpful posts, I'm still having difficulty making sure which one it is. So I'm going to try asking the mechanic at my shop tomorrow morning. Maybe he will see something on the surface that we're missing due to the med-res photo I took.

Update!

This morning before work, I took my clutch components to my local tuner shop

Their mechanic had actually remembered driving my CRX from last year and said the PP was the Xtreme model and not the Heavy Duty. He said my pedal effort was *way* to stiff to just be from the clutch pedal.

Ah, that explains it!
All along I was thinking...how could my pedal be SO stiff, when I only had the Heavy Duty and not the Xtreme model.
I'm kind of annoyed, that after all these years of killing my left leg in traffic, that my friend who helped me suggest parts for my setup recommended the stiffer pp, groan
I wished I had gone with the Heavy Duty one.

The mechanic looked at the friction disc and said it was almost certainly the ACT street disc. Especially since there was so much material left on the disc (maybe 20% used over 5 years of occasional driving) He said if it was a Honda/OEM disc, it wouldn't have lasted this long (he said stock discs get chewed up pretty badly/quickly when mated with aftermarke/stronger pressure plates)


So, Cliffs Notes:
- My pp was : ACT Xtreme
- My fd was: ACT organic street disc

So now I will be going with either the ACT HDSS or Clutchmasters Stage 1.
Depends on what kind of prices I can get.

Thanks for all the replies with info.

I think your calf muscles must look like the Hulk's!

My goal is to have my clutch pedal be no stiffer than the E36 M3 clutch...that one is *just* about right for me.
