Default Clutch CHoicE?

hey guys, i dont know hwo to say this but i am looking for a good clutch stronger than stock, not too strong like a CM stage 3 or something but pretty good and strong. the reason im saying this is because i am planning on selling my car in the coming 3-4 months but my clutch is GONEEE nothing left and you can feel it slip a **** load so i want somethign for the mean time that is strong and good but not tooo strong due to the fact that i am not giong to be modding the car for selling purposes. i was thinkgin abotu a centerforce clutch, any comments on that brand or any other ones? btw bone stock just a CAI but strong motor. running 15-15.2 in the 1/4 so its a pretty good motor.

PS. when you can feel the rpm lagging a bit when you gun iit in lets say first gear but you can feel the car isn't moving as fast as it use to, is that how you know the clutch is slipping? cuz if it is, i can feel that a lot. especially this past 2 to 3 days. i can feel the acceleration slow down a bit. like its as if i have like 4 heads in the car when i have none. get it? lol hope so.

I would use a Clutch Masters stage 1. You are selling the car. It is not too expensive. It is stronger than stock and easy to drive.

centerforce is a good choice for street. and it will hold up well
i would go with the dual friction clutch

is the dual friction clutch by centerforce? like thats one of the centerforce ones? or is it a diff like brand and all? i dont have much knowledge of a centerforce, just heard of it being a good clutch and recommendations. is it stronger than a stock clutch?

might as well just get an OEM or OEM-like replacement. this is what i plan on doing and im keeping my car. if i were selling theres no way i would spend a lot.

exedy is a top clutch manufacturer but they also make honda OEM replacement quality clutches as well. http://www.clutchcityonline.com and look under 'standard clutches' should be around $100

you can tell your clutch is slipping if you rev out 1st and attempt to bang 2nd.. instead of banging you see the rpm gauge 'lag' before it catches up. another way would be to be rolling at like 2k in 2nd and floor it and see what happens.

there is an easier way, just get on the highway and put it in 5th at 30-35
and see if it revs w/o gaining speed.
