how does it not fit?

doesn't fit on inputshaft
doesn't fit on flywheel
pressure plate doesn't align with flywheel studs/threads

you need a hydro b-series clutch. anything that says b-series should fit.

maybe your not doing something right? any b-series clutch, flywheel, and tranny are interchangable.

maybe where you got the 2 clutches, they gave you the wrong one?

and when you say they don't fit, have you seen it yourself or are you going off of what someone has told you. i know for a fact the jdm B16A's found in the SIR & SIR2 (civic's from 89-95) are the same as the 94-95 (USDM) del sol. with minor differences of coarse (the clutch is not one of them).

i lined up the new clutch with the old flywheel and they don't go together. the clutch needs to be a little smaller. the clutch i ordered was from a 99 civic si. i am putting it on a b16a

i understand that. the new clutch and the old clutch are different sizes. they are both supposed to be for a b series engine but they are two different clutches.

why not use the clutch of the 1st gen honda crv.. it will fit your b16 and will give a bigger friction surface.. a better bang for the buck!!

That may be true, but i'm about as close as you can get. And if do ever need help, at least I'll remember not to listen to anything whiteb16 has to say, because he's an idiot.
