Default Clutch Slippin'

Well guys I think It's about that time to replace my clutch. What do you guys recommend? I would like to keep the stock feel but a little stronger grip than stock. Because I might be going supercharger. Also, when I shift gears now, 3,500 RMPs at regular driving sometimes on 3rd, 4th and 6th insted of just the gears going in, It feels like it is hitting catching into something and then going into gear. Is this the synchro going bad? or just the clutch not engaging? What do you guys think? It doesn't grind or anything, it just feels like it is a little hesitant to do into gear.

ACT pressure plate and stock disc seems well-liked. Re: the stiff shifting, maybe time to change your tran fluid. GMSFM is getting very popular.

The ACT street clutch uses a OEM honda disc, with a re-worked stock pressure plate. Mine had no issues holding 300rwhp with a SC. Pedal effort is higher than stock, but very liveable.

I'd use it again without hesitation.

Not only is your clutch slipping, the entire system needs to be flushed and bled. Your clutch is not "dis" engaging.

Changing the transmission oil is also a good idea.
