Ok, here it is...i was thinking of getting a mugen clutch with an exedy flywheel, yet it turns out to be about $800 un-installed... ... but my mechanic says that CM clutchs and ACT clutchs are really ruff materials and can hurt the tranny. What clutch should i get that would be go0d and not as expensive as the mugen one?

 

Try the Action Clutch. Give Kyle a call or email at KS Motorsports. Info is in my signature. Let him know your concerns and the performance expected and he'll point you in the right direction...

 

thanx...

 

n-e-one else...?

 

yea, I am doing an all motor setup, I am puting in a jdm prelude type s clutch and flywheel, the flywheel is lighter and stronger, and the clutch is a lot stonger too, and its factory honda, so there are not going to be any problems, not to mention its CHEAP

 

is it a harder pedal feel ya think? and where u getting it from and how much?

 

I imagine it must be a pretty stock pedal feel, I am getting the clutch, lighten flywheel and rebuilt tranny from a friend out in cali for half of what your mugen setup was costing, try jdmparts.com they usually have stuff, give me a day or two and I might be able to find some other places. My friend says a lot of tuners build some sick motors but stick with the type s clutch, i guess it is pretty tough, it's not stage 5 clutch, but will make a soild daily driver setup

 

yea but i dont feel like spending money on something similar to stock i want more of a crisp shift and quicker acceleration...what you think?

 

yeah, the clutch is a totaly different design then the regular h22/h23 clutch, so it will be better, but I cannot tell you how much, hopefully I will be able to tell you in a few weeks if all goes well with my lude

 

ght co0 let me kn0w? ANyone else want to add...?

 

Yea, the type S clutch sounds good, especially for a daily driver, im sold.

 

jdmparts.com does not have anything about a type s clutch

 

i've never heard of anyone upgrading to a type s clutch, sounds interesting. i can't imagine it being that much different though, if at all.

 

I tried calling my friend out in cali last night to get some more info for you guys, but he was at work, stay tuned for an update

 

do you guys argee with his mechanic about the ACT and CM clutches? i hadnt really heard that before. I was thinking about getting a ACT XTSS and i wasnt aware that this would screw anything up?

 

My theory is that anything much stonger over a stock clutch is going to put more strain on the tranny and axels ect for the simple reason that the new clutch is goning to grab harder and quicker then the old

 

yep thats what he said ... so thats why im worried about which one to get. Also an e-mail from kingmotorsports, just told me to keep my stock one unless i do some serious up grades, that their scca car has a stock clutch still. so i dunn0 what to think or do?

 

Thats why I was thinking of the type s clutch, in a previous post i think someone
said that it was slightly better than stock, I dont plan on turbo/sc/lots o nos, so I dont need a high performance clutch. I was just thinkin maybe an exedy oem, if what 93ludesi said about it putting strain on the tranny, im not about to replace that.

 

Im running an Exedy-Daiken OEM replacement w/Fidanza 8.5lb.

I autox nearly every weekend and drive ALOT back and forth to school and work. I have had 0 problems.

you can get this clutch from coximport.com w/free shipping.

I highly reccomend this setup.

 

where do i go on the site?

 

Unless you are pushing big horsepower even a stock clutch is going to hold up well, no need for a 5 puck clutch that is gonna last 5000 miles and make highway driving impossible

You can get it cheaper on ebay ($105) or at http://www.clutchcityonline.com ($111)

 

Im definitely going with the exedy oem now, I dont think I need anything else without forced induction.

 

I think your friend is pulling your leg and just wants to get his extra parts out of his garage. A seriously doubt a Type-S clutch is much different than a regular H22 clutch. And the flywheel....I've never heard anything about the Type-S having a lighter flywheel but I guess its possible. Regular H22 is 18.5lbs, what ist he Type-S?

 

I didnt see n-e-thin for the prelude on that site...???? or did i miss it? all i kn0w is that im interested in a clutch and flywheel if it will help me with my street racing...like if i will accel faster or if i will have quicker and crisper shifts between gears...i mean my stock clutch is still great but if its a huge difference then im going for it...give me your opinions!!!
