Well i got my car back from the shop yesterday and yes, i do need a clutch... Im assuming the throwout bearing was making that horrable high pitch, intense TV sound and its shot, cause the clutch wont disengage anymore, lol...its so fun 2 drive 2 school...im getting a new clutch, probly a ACT HDSS, any other sugestions? Also where can I get a good deal on one? Whats all of your recomendations?

 

ACT HDSS is a perfect choice! Just go to http://www.google.com and do a search, I am sure mnany companies sell them at a competetive price...

 

Clutchmasters allllll the way! I just put a stage three in my car and i love it. If you want one or even if you decide ACT look on ebay. I bought my stage three off of a seller with the name city-speed. Always check ebay first....cheap good ****!! Buy with caution though......too many ******** trying to rip people off sometimes.

 

ACT

 

do the clutcmasters come with pilot bearings??

 

act or excedy

 

just got my act hdss, pressure plate, and prolite flywheel today. all i can say is bling bling. looks like some high quality chit mang.

cant wait till my **** gets fixed tommorow. i wish i had a garage and more tools (and experience ) so i wouldnt have to pay someone.

ill let you know how i like it tommorow night.

 

act HD/SS is a great street set up. nothing too crazy but it still is capable of holding a good bit of power. i love mine. just make sure you give it a proper break in before you go beating on it.

 

How much is the HD/SS setup capable of holding (hp wise)?

 

Good question, I would like to know as well. I'll be clutch shopping when the swap is ready.

 

Over the weekend my buddy and i installed a exedy race clutch with a ACT 11lb flywheel on the civic.. its a Y7.
still in break in period, got prolly 200miles on it now.. its still runnin

Yeah, I'm looking for a good setup for my SOHC turbo. I'm planning to go 8 psi daily on my 15g and 12 psi at the track...so I would like a clutch that would hold up to like 250hp or so (and yes I know I'm probobally not that powerful, but I don't want to buy something and have it slip still).

 

I have bought an Exedy clutch kit. I am installing it now (with a few other things) I hope it will turn out good. not sure yet.

I went with the ACT street disk, and the extreme pressure plate for my car, B series, and I love it, of course if you don't like to have a stiffer pedal i'd stay away from the extreme pp, it's not bad at all tho and it can hold 313ft/lbs at the crank is what i was told by dean at ACT. and for $40 morethen the hd plate, why not.

for the ACT line and the excellent tech people that actually know what they are selling.

 

clutches dont hold hp, they hold torque.

Yeah yeah The story above makes me lean more twoards that.

 

 

I just bought the hc5-xtss for my car. which is a SOHC. It has a capacity of 270 ft/lbs of torque. It is going in this weekend. I got my at http://www.clutchcityonline.com it was 620 with the 8.8lbs flywheel for $620. It was the cheapest that i found. Plus they give free shipping on most items

if you want to get technical, engines really dont make horse power either.

 

right. power = torque/time
goin to bed. talk to you sometime this weekend.

damn, 10 hours to change a clutch in a honda. i swaped my tranny out not long ago and had it done in less than 3 hours. add another half if i would have been replacing the clutch. at least you did it yourself though

 

I'll be in the market for a new clutch soon, too. I've got a Y8 with I/H/E. Is there any need to get a higher-performance clutch, or should I just get an OEM one? I would like to get a lightweight flywheel, though. Any suggestions on that, too?

 

clutchmasters stage 1 or 2 on the streets should be good for a daily driven bucket
