ok i got a d16a6 si tranny and i cant find any clutch's for it.

all i can find is 92 and up sohc

are they the same?

 

any d16 clutch kit will work as long as you have a matching flywheel. 92-95 wont work with a 88-91 flywheel. 88's clutch's are different from 89-91 as well, on account of the spline difference, but i dont know about the flywheel.

a year ago i change the clutch out on my d16y7 and i used my 89+ clutch kit from the zc i had set up and i found out the hard way that i had to swap the flywheels as well.

 

wtf?? there different?
**** that sucks.

that makes it a bit harder

 

it actually makes it a little easier cause then you could use which ever clutch you desire. the flywheel only consists of 6 bolts. and im sure they are way more common than a 88-91 flywheel.

 

well i know that.

but ok.

so if i get a clutch kit( clutch pressure plate and flywheel) from a d16z6
it will spline on to my d16a6 si tranny?

 

Its in the FAQ.....

Good Luck

 

oh **** i didnt even see that..

wait that doesnt answer my question..
does it?

idk **** it ima go to a clutch shop

 

as long as ur tranny is not a bastard 88 with the 21 splines then ur fine. 89 and up trannies all have 20 spline shafts. my y7 clutch has 20 splines and worked fine with the si tranny in my 91. the z6 will too.

 

alright koo yeah my bitch is a 90 so im kool..

 

if you are trying to get a complete clutch kit for it, the 92 and up clutch kit will not work with the 88-91 transmission - the clutch disc and pressure plate will work (as long as you have 90 and up flywheel, but the 92 and up clutch release (throwout) bearing will not work

 

so i would need a throw out bearing from a 89 91?

 

I was under the impression that 89-91 flywheels work with 89-91 clutches and 92 and up clutches work with 92 and up flywheels....and the throwout from an 88 or maybe just 89-91; but from what jilicrx is saying...it sounds like there is difference between the 89 and 90 flywheel and that the 90 flywheel works with 92 and up clutches...

but me personally...i would use 92 flywheel with 92 clutch and 90 flywheel with 90 clutch. 89-91 throwout in anycase....and if nothing else, you should be able to find a 90 oem style exedy clutch kit or better on ebay or some performance parts website....if you cant muster up enough for a 92+ flywheel clutch combo...but then u still need the throwout....

heres a link for 90-91 crx exedy clutches....or you can go to ebay and search 90-91 exedy clutch.

 

i think you have to have the si clutch to match. i just tried to put an si tranny in my 90 civic and it bolted up but presses up against something. i couldnt even get my car to turn over cause of some weird friction. it wouldnt push start either it would just lock up. everyone told me to get the si clutch cause its different

 

idk if I'm gonna like the answer BUT
i have a tranny off of my d15b2 (88 crx dx) I have the clutch, flywheel and pressure plate off of that engine. I'm building a mini me with b7 block that came with clutch flywheel and pressure plate. Do i put on the b2 stuff or b7 stuff?

 

bu tim kinda looking for a 6pluck and a light flywheel

 

this is the one i got for my 91 si tranny mated to my 91 zc sohc motor...!!!

the splines in the B7 clutch disc will not fit your 88 transmission - the B2 pressure plate won't bolt onto the B7 flywheel, so you can't mix and match - you need to use everything from the B2, unless you want to buy a new clutch disc

 

that will work for your setup

 

this is a chart that i made several years ago for determining what clutch you need: (note: some 88 and 89 oem clutches were 190mm diameter, but they used the same flywheel as the 200mm diameter)



this is the differences between the 88-89 and 90-91 flywheels (92 and up are similar to 90-91):

 

Well of course...you always need the 1.6l clutch since we're playing with d16s....if you messing with a d15 then you need the matching clutch.....make any sense?

since all the 92 and up are all d16s then those are mostly similar.

when i first got my 88 hf w/ the DOHC ZC that im working on now...i dont know about the clutch it had but i know that the clutch i got to replace it was the 1.6l or Si and everything else is Si...the hubs etc but for some reason, even though it wasnt the matching 88 trans but it was still an HF trans 89. much longer 1st and 2nd gears...

89 hf trans, 89 Si clutch, 2nd gen 1.6l DOHC ZC and all that worked together.

 

Nice Chart jilicrx!

answers any questions i would've had....this means that y7 flywheel i have i can use later when i get a better clutch.
