Hows it going guys i have a question about my car its a 96 honda accord ex 2.2L Vtec (F22B1stock)im not sure if its q problem or not. im wanting to build a car that has speed an have it as a family driver as well. Now my question is when i shift it at high rpms (5k-5500k) an let off the clutch the rpms seem to stay high an then drops and then keeps going like it drags well in gear it don't grind or slip out.

 

Sounds like the clutch is slipping. Prepare for replacing it.

 

Thanks for replying and when i go about replacing it should i juat replace it to the stock or should i just get a stage 1 so i wont have to do it later

 

The clutch is slipping. Figure out how much power you will have and what type of tires you'll be running then you can decide on which clutch to purchase.

 

Awesome thank you an another question what is the benefits for having a stock to stage 1,2,3 ext) clutch system. Does the gear go in faster, does it have a stronger pull when the gear is engaged, does a stage one have a better and longer life span as the stock???

 

A "Stage 1" clutch will not change the shifting characteristics, it will not have a "stronger pull" and certainly will not have a longer life span.

Changing to anything other than oem will have zero benefits on a stock motor. If you decided to strap a turbo on your motor, then yes a beefier clutch is necessary to handle the higher power.

 

A clutch won't make your car faster by much, and would only do so if you run a 3/4/6 puck due to weighing less than stock. It will not let the gears engage faster. A "stage 1" should last about as long as an OEM clutch in the same situation.

The only real benefits is the ability to hold more power and to handle heat better (which depends on the material used).
