I think i need to get a new clutch, any ideas on which one i should get other than OEM? / where can i get another one?

 

I'm aware of two options for aftermarket clutch kits: Exedy, and Clutchmasters. Here's a page that sells different stages of both:

how many miles do you have on your car??

 

74000ish , but the clutch is doing something funny. The stock clutch is still good but its making weird noises. I had the clutch pressed down and put it in reverse and it grinded, and then i was parking last night and pulling forward and it had this weird engine noise when i let go of the clutch. I took it to acura and they cant reproduce it. I have extended warranty..

 

Sounds like the throw out bearing or maybe bent fingers on the clutch. I had an Exedy clutch in my old Civic that was pretty nice. It was much, much heavier at the pedal but the friction zone was a lot wider and it could take a lot more heat. It worked out well for all the starting and stopping on hills I have to do.

 

Around 70k, I had my clutch done using a ACT 6 Puck from Excelerate (very aggressive clutch, not for the faint of heart) and a Fidanza flywheel. I also replace the throw out bearing and one other bearing in there. Of course I did all the bolts on the flywheel too, but in the end, that noise disappeared until it got really cold. Once warmed up, the sound disappeared. I still have all my old parts and nothing was wrong at all with my old clutch... I just am enjoying the benefits of all the new parts now.

 

I think Exedy build OEM clutches for Honda.

If you want cheapest, get Exedy OEM. If you want slightly more grip, go with Exedy OEM clutch disc with higher pressure plate.

If you want more grip, get Exedy stage 1 (organic clutch disc).

Anything more than that you and you will diminish city drivability (IMO) and the price skyrockets too.

Exedy Stage 2 and Exedy light weight flywheel.. works good for me!

 

You can use any setup for the RSX-S on your TSX but you will have to do the flywheel too. If you are looking for an OE setup you will want the Exedy clutch and flywheel package. You can PM me if you need a price too.
