Need to replace clutch

I'm looking to replace the clutch. What clutch kit should i go for? I was thinking of going OEM, but I was told in the past that OEM clutches were made by exedy. Can anyone chime in with that they have used?

My car is bone stock and will never be modded, except for an intake. Any suggestions/experiences are appreciated

If you want a stock-quality clutch, get OEM exedy clutch.

If you want something with just a little more grip, get exedy organic stage 1 kit.

First make sure that your clutch is actually bad and not hydrolic system or something.

Also now would be a good time to consider a light-weight flywheel.

Go for the Exedy HD. That uses the same material as the OEM clutch, but with a stronger pressure plate. The Exedy Organic might bite too hard for your liking.

Where would i go about finding the exedy hd?
With respect to the flywheel...a lot of people were getting them lightened with the b series honda transmissions and they worked fine, is this possible of even advised to do with the tsx stock flywheel?

I want a direct oem replacement. I don't care for performance, i just need it to perform the way the stock clutch has.

Then why not replace with stock clutch? You can get the parts for much less online.

It would be a hassle to get family to ship it out for me. I wanted it asap since the tranny was already off the car. I just bit the bullet and purchased from here.....$400 for the clutch disc, pressure plate and release bearing....and that was with a honda discount. Sucks to live in Canada, we get screwed on parts!
