Icon5 2000 Honda Accord clutch help!

So i have a 2000 Honda Accord Lx 2.3L with a burned out clutch currently and I'm not the biggest car guy, so I need some help.

I haven't had much clear help when I've asked people so I figured this would be the place to go. My buddy put me on to a competition clutch it's a stage 1.5 gravity series, but I can't find it from any reliable places for my car.

i don't race just an aggressive daily driver. Just looking for some suggestions/help!

All helps appreciated thanks

-Zach

If I were in your shoes (and I have been) I would buy an Exedy clutch and not look back. They make many of the OEM clutches for multiple manufacturers and I believe Honda is among them. I tried to go with an aftermarket clutch kit on my old Miata and after having to replace it twice under warranty in less than 6 months I broke down and bought a kit from Mazda. Turns out it was Exedy and never had a problem from the car again (and I was NOT nice to that poor car...). The guy I eventually sold it to is still driving it daily on that clutch from 7 years ago.

Lulz at $400 priced clutch for a stock Accord.
Get the Exedy stock replacement(disc/pressure plate/throw-out bearing) kit from RockAuto for ~$80
If you are feeling fancy pickup the Valeo or Sachs brands for ~$90.

There is no secret sauce or magic with a clutch, only torque rating. Stock engine, stock clutch.

And do yourself a favor and either have the flywheel re-surfaced or get a new one while ordering the clutch kit.....ps, you will be looking right at the rear main seal, any signs of a leak around it, well you might as well replace it.

Only $40 for a new flywheel? Would cost you that much(time/downtime/machine shop costs) just to resurface the original. Get the new one, install a new clutch, and while your in there replace the rear main seal.
