I've been looking at a different clutch. i've been researching this since honda won't do the warranty due to its a part that wears down. so i've been seing this

oem friction disk, oem throwout bearing, and this act heavy duty pressure plate.

is this recommended? what should i do.

thats what I would recommend and thats what I have installed. There may be other people w/ other clutches that can tell you about them but as far as mine goes, it had about i'd say 15K + supercharged hard miles on it and when I took it out everything looked good. I put a new OEM disk only because my tranny went so since the tranny was out, made sense to put a brand new disk but I could've reused it.

go for it.

 

dont forget the comptech light weight fly wheel.

thats going to be what i get. the kit from HTG

 

i should get that huh?

 

i would. if your changing the clutch you might as well just do everything since it will be all apart.

 

yeah but its like 899 plus the 325 install at a local shop

 

And......I thought the title of this thread was "clutch went out"








j/k

 

alright so should i get the hardtopguy deal with a lightened fly wheel

or should i just get the clutch and pp. i really don't know

 

It's your car, what do you want?

Regarding the clutch, the ACT PP and OEM disk is a popular and effective improvement on a street-driven car.

A lightened flywheel makes the engine more responsive to throttle inputs. It spins up faster since there's less roational mass. It also costs more money than re-using the OEM flywheel. However, since a lot of the expense in a clutch replacement is the R&R labor, it makes sense to do this upgrade when the opportunity presents itself. Depending on the condition of the flywheel in your car, you also may need to resurface it, reducing the cost differential of using a new one.

If you're really on a budget, you can often reuse the flywheel and pressure plate (as long as they're in good condition). That way you only need to replace the friction disk. Plus, it's usually wise to replace the other wear items - pilot and throwout bearing - while the assembly is apart.
