Default Aftermarket clutch suggestions

From the way it feels I'm gonna have to replace the clutch in the next 6 months or so. I was just looking at the price of stock vs. aftermarket and that's pretty much a no-brainer.

1. Question is what's a good clutch (preferably in a kit aka bearing, flex plate, clutch pad, alighnment tool)? Looking around $300 preferably. I also want a street disc unless you guys say otherwise. Its all stock (until its paid off) and stays on the streets. I want a setup that has some grip and'll last me a while but won't completely kill my ankle. Also please don't comment on this question if you haven't personally driven the product.

2. Also after bolting the tranny back on will I have to bleed the clutch line? The manual is kinda vague on this step (its a 96 Accord EX 5spd).

Thanks in advance

1. Exedy OEM replacement Yeah I know, it's not what you're looking for, but I have no complaints about it

2. Unless the 96's are worlds different than my 92, you don't have to bleed the clutch line. You just unbolt the slave cylinder from the clutch fork/transmission area and move aside. If you ever get any fluid leaking out during the procedure, then yes you have to bleed it.

i dont believe you ahve to bleed it unless you remove the clutch fluid line from the slave cylinder, the cylinder unit with line should jsut unbolt from the tranny, no bleeding neede i belive, but do check fluid level, you might have to add some from the side hole if it is low

i second excedy, its a good stock replacement, and you should also get it for under $300

Exedy is the way to go for replacing your stock clutch especially the organic ones they cool buy themselves so you wont have to worry about anything
