Got a '96 HX D16Y5. Wondering if anybody as suggestions on which company to go with or whatever.

 

I've heard nothing but good things about Exedy and Cluthmasters


this is your DD right?

 

Correct, it's my DD. I figured I'd rock the D for a while, and leisurely save up for my K. I'll focus on putting together a nice TC'd D for now and see what I can make of the SSAUTO kit. And I too was looking at Exedi and Clutchmasters...Is there much of a difference between Stage 1-2-3-4? I was thinking a stage 1 or 2 since mine's not going to be a demon at the strip and also thinkin an Exedy flywheel. Or maybe just get a newer D tranny and put this stuff in the new tranny. So many ideas!!!

 

i had an exedy stg 1 along with a fidanza flywheel on my old ls swapped crx. very nice combo imo. although the engagment was a little touchy with the stg1.

 

Im running an ACT stage one clutch and racelite flywheel in my single cam civic and have no complaints. I had a Centerforce dual friction clutch in my crx previously. No probs either way.

 

My buddy Bart has an ACT stage 1 clutch, and loves it.

 

For daily driving purposes, I would say go with a stage one, two at the VERY VERY MOST.

 

How bout this ACT clutch and this Fidanza Flywheel? And Forty, what about a TC'd DD? And I don't know how to tell Stage 1 from 2 ect. What Stage is this ACT?

 

personally, i dont like the aluminum flywheels, because you have to bolt the friction surface to it, and that leaves you with two metals with different thermal expansion rates bolted together, and a bunch of screws that could loosen and cause you all sorts of grief. thats why i chose the Exedy 1 piece chrome-moly flywheel. that, along with an Exedy stage1 has worked out perfectly for me.

 

I'm assuming that since your turbo's turned your D into such a "powerhouse" that the stage 1 etc. was more than good enough to keep up?
