Rear Main Seal

Yup she's leaking good now I have been putting this off for too long and now the time has come. Now I am going to do the clutch too might as well since everything is going to be out what I want to get some answers on is should I go with the Luk Clutch and Flywheel? I saw the prices of xlr8 daily and that would put me wayyyy out of budget. I seen some people say that Luk is what Honda uses for OEM replacements is that true? and is it worth it in terms of reliability can someone clear the air for me I would appreciate it thanks guys

That's a lot for just the clutch. It's like $180 on Amazon right now.

Unless that's including the fllywheel, in which case that's a great deal. Either way, these LuK (OEM) clutches last a very long time, so it's a good investment for a stock motor.

Do you happen to remember if your new flywheel came with the pin installed in the cam side?

I do not remember. I only took a quick glance at the flywheel just to check for any damage.
