Clutch questions - Honda Prelude Forum

jpprelude · 06-27-2002, 08:18 PM

Hey guys. My car is at 110,000 miles and my clutch is on it's last leg.

Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should get. I can get a deal on ACT clutches, and was wondering what level I should get. they have:

Pressure plates-
HD - ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate
XT - ACT Xtreme Pressure Plate
XX - ACT MaXX Xtreme Pressure Plate

Disc-
00 - Stock Street Disc
MM - ACT Modified Street Disc
SS - ACT Performance Organic Street Disc
R4 - ACT 4-Pad Race Disc
R6 - ACT 6-Pad Race Disc

THis will be mainly for street use, with the occasional drag/autox.

Also, I'm guessing I can swap the clutch into my new motor if needed, correct? I don't want to get a clutch now, and get a new motor 5,000 miles down the road.

THanks everyone.

I'm in the same situation..waiting for the money for the H22 mean while my clutch is going out after 150,000. I would recommend the Exedy Organic Clutch only 275.00 with a 36% increase in hold. http://www.carolinaclutch.com/pr02.htm My buddy got it from them and he loves it plus its the cheapest ive seen...so just a thought.
I dont know about putting the clutch on the new engine, the clutch and fly wheel should match in wear so if you can switch over the flywheel and throwout bearings you should be alright...not sure though.

i would go with HDSS for your needs. And yes you can still use the clutch with new motor.

I completely forgot about Exedy. I plan on swapping the flywheel as well.

i have the exedy organic and its great for daily driving and the occasional track visit.

my friend also has an ACT SS disk with stock pressure plate and he loves that.....either way you should be good!
