Default how to find a 212mm plate for 21 spline clutch

1. I have a SOHC ZC

2. I have a 212mm flywheel from a 90' DX

3. I have a tranny that I assume is an 88' because it has a 21 spline mainshaft.

I'm trying to find a clutch that will fit the 21 spline shaft, yet has the larger 212mm contact area. I heard that a clutch out of an 87 prelude SI would work for me. I went ahead and bought the clutch kit, however it will not work. The bolt pattern on the clutch is different from the flywheel, and I cannot use my old clutch because then the bearing doesn't match.

Is there anything I can do? Has anyone heard of an aftermarket outfit that makes clutch plates that will work?

One other thing I forgot to mention, I have no idea what my transmission came out of. I don't believe it was a USDM 88' si, because it has a different axle spline count. (It accepts only the equal length axles they sent me.)

Any idea what tranny I actually have? Was there such a thing as a matching ZC transmission?

I feel like a mad doctor trying to piece together franken-honda.

id check to see if a 87-89 integra clutch works, its the only usdm D series i can think of with equal length axles.

But I tried an 87 prelude SI clutch and it was way different.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-HD...ht_2023wt_1033

According to that link, the 87 prelude clutch is the same as the accord clutches for those years?

Could it be that with the equal length axles, my transmission is *not* the same as an 88 SI? It's some weird ZC version?

I'm not sure as far as the prelude clutch... It could be but if it's 21 spline and you have the 212mm flywheel idk why the accord clutch wouldn't work

Clutchcityonline will sell you the 88 kit with larger flywheel.

That website is a little pricey, but thanks so much for posting it. If the accord clutch doesn't work out, it's good to have a back-up plan! Thanks guys.
