My buddy has a 05 tl 6mt with about 58,000 on it and his clutch is stating to show signs of failure. I looked at CM ad didn't like what they had. And I wanted to go with a more jap part because they know the car better than us americans do. So, Exedy is my choice. I ordered my stage 1 org clutch kit (yeah OE is organic also but doesnt have a nearly as high heat resistance so this should last longer and grab a little stiffer). that was about $250, then I ordered my lightweight flywheel by Exedy, which is almost 13 lbs lighter than the OE flywheel. That was about $200. Then while i was at it why not save me some time in the future and do the slave cylinder anyway. it would have probably gone out breaking in the new clutch anyway but that was only like $50. so im at $500 with out install labor prices but I have a really friendly mech that hooks me up as long as i help him do the work. So while your paying almost 2 grand i will be right around $760 and a better part. btw, Exedy = Daikin, Im pretty sure Daikin makes the OE clutchs for all honda and acuras straight from the factory. So I believe Exedy has they're Sh*T straight. Just my 2 cents on clutch kits for acuras.

On the other note, I live 3 hours from home meaning 3 hours from my mech and the part. I need to get my car there. towing is two expensive and I dont trust tow dolly's from uhaul. Who makes the right tow bar for the tsx, that attaches to the two tow brackets on the under carriage right behind the front bumper?

It also seems strange Acura would design a clutch that would work one minute and not the next, leaving people stranded.
