Need a new clutch...recommendations?

Hey guys,

My clutch is slipping and I figured I would get something with more bite to it.

What do you recommend...my motor is stock, and I dont track my car, but do some spirited driving rarely...

Should I just get an aftermarket oem replacement?

Exedy Organic. stage 1.

slightly stiffer pedal feel and it hold 30-35% more power than the OEM clutch. it grabs great and it's probably the cheapest in price out of all the stage 1 aftermarket clutches out there but defiantly not the cheapest in quality.

its a great clutch.....i used it for a couple years and when i took it out it still looked new!

www.clutchcityonline.com is where i got mine from.

i liked the feel of your Exedy Organic 1, Jeff. However, why not get an OEM one if u dont track and rarely drive hard..You may not like the feel of a beefier clutch.

Get a oem clutch. Type R is cheaper than a gsr clutch IIRC.

I have the ACT street/race clutch and it's noticeably different for everyday driving. Much stiffer and a harder grab which I enjoy for about the same $$ as stock. But if you rarely drive hard and you don't track it then I'm with these two guys above, go OEM.

ya it makes sense for me to get an OEM clutch...just wondering what would be the cheaper option...

anyone know the price difference between OEM and a stage 1 clutch? I dont mind the stiffer pedal feel/harder grad, as mine is stiff already....im not sure if the previous owner put in an aftermarket clutch, cuz driving other ppls cars it seems like the pedal is like a sponge!

what are the average prices of putting a clutch disc in??? How about the clutch disc kit??? In the future i plan on swapping out my 1991 civic 4 speed for a B16A, would i be able to use the same clutch if i do a swap??? I dont think so.

Execy Stage 1 is basically an ITR Clutch assembly. ITR's grab 30% more than SI-R/GS-R clutches.

^i don't think thats 100% accurate. if what your saying is true an ACT stage one would only hold grab 25 % more then a ITR clutch.

exedy stage 1 is what i got and i love it. if ur car produces 70 or more horses than the stock hp rating go for exedy stage 2 and 100 after that go for stage 3.
