Default Clutch alternatives (suggestions?)

Alright. I've gotten a bit tired of the slipping '02 clutch. It may be because of the master and/or slave cylinder(s). They will be checked by the dealer on Wednesday.

However, the clutch plate, stinking like a cat box, has slipped too many times for my taste. I figure the plate has been scorched.

Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative plate? I'd like a stronger, non-slipping, more durable clutch plate.

So, what do you suggest? Advantages? Disadvantages? Cost? Warrantee?

Also, if you have had to replace your clutch (out of pocket), how much did it cost?

I don't dump the clutch, but I don't drive like a grandma.

Thanx

P.S. A similar post is also in the Under The Hood forum. I posted here since this forum gets more traffic.

I'd stick w/ stock for now. They don't warranty the tranny if you go aftermarket. I thought the same thing to when I was getting TSB054 done. I just got stock.

My local Honda service department told me that if they agree to install any aftermarket parts, they will honor any future warranty claims. And I was also told that most Mugen after-market parts are pre-approved by AHM.

YMMV.

I bought a ACT clutch and Honda did all the work under warrenty for me. It was either have them put another stock clutch back in or get a aftermarket one... I think I have made the right choice
