I got a clutchmasters stage 3 clutch! same as the accord ones except for an extra sensor.

includes aluminum flywheel, power plus 2 PP, segmented kevlar disc.

i havent even unpacked it yet. ill have a writeup once its installed! I might have an extra one that i might be able to hook u up with since my buddy might not put it in his car...ill let u know or PM me. i'm excited!!

 

all go and no show ftw... def like to see the write up...

 

just left you a message ussi. better make sure they gave you the right parts mine has to come back out

 

Dayuuummm! See, that's the reason why I don't like doing a lot of mechanical mods. This one has me interested. So I hope it works out!

 

ya its unfortunate

they installed the wrong ring gear, so my starter makes a noise everytime i crank it. ive sent them countless pictures and there is no dispute that the mistake is theres. they are going to get me the right parts and reinburst me for the labor to replace it again.

 

^ This is the reason why I have not purchased one. I'd like to see what the deal is. Please keep us updated, ussi.

 

what wear characteristics does the stage 3 have? what stage is your friends clutch? i might buy it...i was wanting stage 2 for wear and drivability but if theres not much difference i can compromise...btw i will be supercharged with this clutch

 

also where did you get it from? on their website it shows the kit coming with power plus 1 pressure plate...whats the advantage/difference in teh 1 and 2?

 

hey usman. when you get a chance, can you unwrap your flywheel and take some closeups of the teeth on the ring gear? i want to compare it with mine

 

^will do.

 

hurry up!!!

 

how bout those pics?

 

ussi, any updates?

 

bump



ussi, whats up with them pics??

 

wtf happend?

 

and what accord clutch did you buy?

 

lol nothing 'happened' i've been out of town! be back soon

 

still out of town? if not, HOW BOUT THEM PICS!!!

its cool if you dont want to post them, no sweat off my cahona's, im just trying to help you out. so far, jose at clutchmasters is giving me the runaround too i guess just slap it in and see what happens but dont say i didnt tell you so.

FIY, some guy from puerto rico pm'd me 2 days ago that bought the same clutchmasters kit. he has the same loud noise when starting up his car too so looks like im no the only one.... im telling you, the new style ring gears they are using, are not a perfect fit! and what i can tell from the pics of it wrapped up, looks like you may have the same one

 

Any updates on these kit. Unfortunately I need to buy one , since Acura OEM clutch are out of stock.

 

I was very skeptical at first because shifts were difficult - especially gears 1,2,3, R. It almost felt like the clutch wasn't fully disengaging. Not only that but just getting my car into reverse took two hands! I have already put 145 miles and shifting has vastly improved. Its not the seamless knife in butter shifting it used to be but its getting every mile i go. Pedal feel was also very hard in the beginning, but then again i drove the first hundred miles barefoot lol.

But now pedal feel is just like stock. I did adjust the clutch pedal so the engagement isn't so far down so I'm 're-learning' to drive stick haha. I'll do another review after I break about 500 miles but so far I'm really happy with it. I can't comment on how hard the clutch grabs bc I haven't put any real power to it yet - I want to get past the break in period. I am running the stock pulley and CM's lightened flywheel and man the revs want to fly! HUGE difference over stock clutch. I have to be let out the clutch more and go easy on the throttle for proper shifts.

 

Damn sounds like a winner
Must've expensive though, parts, install

Btw what mileage did you have on the clock when you replaced your stock set up? Was it badly worn?

 

im around 86k. I'll take pix of my stock clutch & PP - It definitely had wear marks and hotspots on it.

I did some other things while in there so install wasnt too bad

 

any updates..my clutch is sitting right here ...clutchmaster Stage 3 w/ lw flywheel

 

yup - installed and running strong

 

does it make the noise when you start the car? the metal chinging noise?

 

^no noise at all...if you bought yours around or after i did you shouldn't have a problem. i wrote a short review in the other clutch thread. so far driveability has been pretty close to stock.

 

where is the other clutch thread?
