Agree. If you are a seasoned diy mechanic, the only thing intimidating about a driveway clutch job on this car is the amount of time it takes (the first time).

That and getting the car high enough to pull the trans out from underneath (which isn't required, but makes cleaning and replacing release guide easier.

You definitely need instructions, but the level of difficulty is not especially high.

 

$540 isn't bad! As long as the guy knows wtf he's doing, you should be fine for a long time.

I would charge more than that. But I'm VERY good looking.

Goodass flavour.

 

Lmao man. Just did my clutch a few weeks ago and yea....took me like 7 nights to do (did after working all day). I clearly didn’t think I could do it, given I only knew how to do simple maintenance and brakes.

Then realized I forgot to grease my throwout bearing after a few days being completed. Second time dropping the tranny took me just one full day.

 

It appears that all of the kits referenced in this thread are currently sold out Aside from Honda direct, I'm only able to find individual parts on ebay with quite a markup. Any new leads?

 

There is a kit with FCC disc, Nachi throw-out & pilot bearings, and an ACT pressure plate for under $700, on eBay. Yes, the under $500 OEM kits are no longer available.

I'm on one month with that OEM kit installed. The best feel the clutch has ever had. I bought the car with a little under 40,000 miles. With the original plate, disc, bearings, and flywheel. Car now has a little under 60,000 miles.

I sent you a PM.

 

Thanks for the tip! I last replaced my clutch @ 30k, now at 75k. I think I'll only need the disc and bearings, the flywheel can potentially be resurfaced. Based on the prices shared here, I was thinking that I could grab a complete kit for the same price and keep the extra parts just in case. Oh well

 

OEM discs are available. Not sure about new OEM pressure plates. You prolly don't need a new plate.

 

The ones on the cheap kits are refurbished pressure plates.

Also the ACT pressure plate now costs the same as the OEM pressure plate.

 

Safe to say the cost of the kit I bought (at just under $500), has gone up a little.

FCC OEM Honda Clutch Kit.

 

That's what I'm thinking. I already have the ACT PP and it feels fine though I'll probably need a new one at the next interval. Wouldn't hurt to have an extra on hand.

Not sure what I'll do when the OE parts dry up
