I know it's been asked be4 and yes i have searched for a while now, but i'm getting confused with all the info flying around. I've heard some ppl say that the Clutch Masters Kit wont fit on the TL S, but some say it does.

I'm in desperate need of a new clutch, mine slips all the way through 3rd gear now. I'm trying to find out for sure if the clutch masters kit will fit and work, because i can't afford to have the car taken apart and then find out it won't work.

If you have helpful info PLEASE POST

 

it will fit how many miles are on ur car

 

a little over 20k. It burned up when i was racing at the track. still managed a 14.2 even though it was toast.

 

it will fit be make sure you get the stage 3...also it will sound funny when you start it because of the ring gear on the new flywheel.. other than that its a great clutch...

 

im on 22k on my original clutch never burned the clutch i would just get the original clutch never had a problem with it and do you relli want that weird noise tl2slow was talking about

 

If you can wait for a little bit there might be a more cost-effective option.

 

the noise isn't that bad i guess i just got used to it...but its worth it..the car pulls like hell now...it also revs up way faster too...

 

Please elaborate.

 

Don't see it on Clutch Masters' site. What's your exact setup?

 

i called ..on the website its under cl..they claim its the same part number.. i was worried about this too...but it works fine.. like i said the only thing is when you start the car it will sound funny because of the new flywheels ring gear.. there are no fitment issues at all.

 

I see. How much did it run you? Is the funny sound present only when you start the car, or is it always there?

 

thats kina weird because i had talked to mr. heeltoe and he pointed me to the CM 7th gen Accord kit. You say your using the one for the CL?

Anyone care to help? even more confused now

 

what is the more cost effective option?

 

TL2SLOW, how's the clutch pedal feel? Is it a lot more stiffer than the oem one? Does it grab the same spot or lower?

 

the one for the accord i think is the same...i called and just told them the car i had...the sound is only when you start the car...its the starter turning on the flywheel...i paid 1375 shipped to my house...the pedal feel is a bit harder than stock ..it took me a couple of days to get used to it... but its a smooth engagement in all gears and when taking off...

 

Is that from Clutch Masters, or a different retailer?

 

i bought it directly from them....

 

Got it.

 

accord/TL/CL are all the same, with the exception of the crank sensors. i actually have the CL flywheel installed. the sensors are useless now.

 

No TL crank sensors?

 

Yea its about time for my 3rd one to be put in..... the throw out bearing and fork spring was no good when installing the 2nd clutch (first being the original) and it ate up the clutch pretty bad. Im almost at the top when it engages.... I spoke to acura about it because its only been 9k and the tech verified the defects. They said itll be covered under warranty.....but i wouldnt mind getting one that feels good like the stock clutch and has the performance capabilities to keep up with the motor and withstand being burned out as fast as the OEM....I just hope they dont put a shit bearing n fork spring in it this time....Id be really pissed about it. =/

Excel wanna tell us what u got brewin??

 

wondering if this is anygood???? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-07...Q5fAccessories

 

only one. the j32a2 had dual crank sensors. it was more of an experiment if anything that honda tried. my flywheel had the sensors in them, but we unscrewed them. heres the pic of my kit, notice the notches around the flywheel where the sensors were mounted. ]



ehhh... nothing more than an OEM replacement and if thats the case, id stick with OEM.

 

Seems too cheap, like a "fell of a truck" deal.

I checked that out on ebay a few weeks ago too. Clutchmaster seems to be the way to go.

The one thing I don't like about my clutch is that it doesn't always engage at the exact same point every time. Other than that it's good, but just a little annoying once in a while.

 

Any one that has done the CM swap had any clutch chatter? Also how's the rpm pick up from the new flywheel?

 

it picks up way faster than before...and there is no clutch chatter..its a single disk design so it will not chatter...

 

I was thinking about getting one of them, how is the light weight flywheel?

 

its about 11 lbs.....

 

I'm seriously thinking about switching my stock for an aftermarket clutch. One question though....because I have a underdriven crank pulley, will that have an adverse effect with a lighten flywheel? I think I read some where a while back about that.

 

nice clutch

 

it does nothing to the idle...like i said the only thing you will notice is the weird noise that it makes when you start the car...everything else is fine ..
