Uh oh..time for new clutch

Ok so I have 06 6MT and just installed the SC.. WOT anything past 5.5k rpms my clutch will slip and its pretty annoying.
I should be getting it replaced soon but my question is will a stock replacement be fine since the SC doesn't significantly add too much power?if so what else should be replaced along with the clutch set?

Any clutch kit will come with new bearings. LUK makes the OEM clutch, and sells all the parts as a kit for a lot less than same parts in Honda baggies.

As for aftermarket, I can't say. Depends on the clutch kit. The OEM one is made for a dual mass flywheel. I don't know what aftermarket clutches work with a dual mass flywheel.

Search a little harder. LUK 08-047...

http://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/...08&fp=pp&gbm=a

No idea if that seller is any good though. Also find it for $177 shipped on ebay.

Acura doesn't sell a "kit". You have to buy all the bearings separately.

2105-PGE-325 $233
91006-PGE-008 $30
22810-PPT-003 $36

The clutch is the same for all models on the LUK website. On the Acura site the disc/pressure-plate are a different part number (same price). You'll be good for for an 06 6MT.

As for parts geek, that site is rather finicky. I've read both good and bad reviews. When you search via google, you can find things by part number. But when your on their website, you get their own custom stock numbers. This is the only reason I don't like their site. I like my order details to have specific info. This is the only reason I would be more inclined to buy from eBay. May be worth a shot though.

If you plan on getting on it a lot with the newly installed SC, you might consider a non-SAC. I've got more power than you do and the clutch isn't slipping after fully engaged but will slip like crazy off the line. If I go into it and allow the clutch to fully engage, it's fine even in full boost. I've also got the check valve removed which also slows the engagement.

Rodney's setup might be overkill but you probably won't find anything for this ride that is better.

i know it will be cheaper to buy an OEM clutch, but the sc should be putting down much more than a lil extra power. it may eventually go again. I would say wait it out and invest into a CM3 or jnr clutch.

Do you have the clutch kit working perfectly? Seemed like no one was able to get the CM kits to run right and I forgot you were comming out with an option.

Holy SHIT man! For that price you can get spec Stage 3 x trim tripple plate clutches. Why is it so expensive for an organic clutch w/ flywheel?

I have a clutch related question, my clutch slips only if my tires are spinning and I shift to second.But if I shift slow (granny shift) it woun't slip. If my tires are not slipping the cltch is usually fine. I know I need to do the checkvalve delete, but any help with be much thanked.

I don't think you'll find one for a 3G TL. CM clutches are about the same cost.

What is this one for?

Acura Integra.

No they don't make tripple plate racing clutches for the TL. Sorry if I implied that. Exedy twin-plates are about the same price ($1200 for Evo). I'm just surprised a single-plate with a solid flywheel would cost so much. An Exedy stage-1 for an Integra cost $250 and a Fidanza 8lb flywheel is $160.

It seems everything out there for the TL is over $1000. It's just hard to believe an OEM self-adjusting PP and dual mass FW cost $500, While a conventional clutch is over twice that. I'm having a hard time wraping my head around it.

Demand and recovering cost to develop.

You probably don't want to know what a custom Tilton twin disc/flywheel is going for .

Yes, we've got it all worked out. There should be no issues.

Unfortunately the cost to produce this stuff is high. The flywheels are $600-$700 each and the clutch kits are another $600-$900 depending on the material that is chosen. And we've provided a higher grade part than the CM stuff.
