Clutch Kit Conundrum
1993 Honda del Sol
Engine Stamp: D16A6
Tranny Stamp: S20
I'm pretty sure this is not the stock motor for my vehicle. I was told buy
the Used Car Salesman (who wouldn't lie to me I'm sure...yeah right)
that this was a performance mod done by the prvious owner. Well,
I found out that thats definitely not the case. Anyway, on to my problem...
My clutch pedal throw to engage clutch has increased to the point where
my foot is almost all the way out before the clutch disc engages. I have
been told that this clutch is auto adjusting and that the disc is worn
beyond allowable limits. The only resolution is to replace the clutch.
For my current motor/tranny what clutch kit do I need? Do I need a clutch
kit or can I just replace the clutch disc? I was doing research and found
this E-Bay Clutch Kit Item number: 8016822664. Will this one work?
Thanks ahead for the help......

first off if your looking on ebay look for someone that has done alot of business and is selling a reputable name brand clutch, 2nd if it is too good to belive then it probly is,
you might want to look into a motor swap if your gonna do the clutch, labor for a clutch is exact same as for the engine swap and a few hundered for a zc engine
then you know what he car has in it
?? imo

Basically I know the specs on the motor/Tranny. HP, Torque...etc.
What I don't know is what car it came out of. Its most likely a
89-91 CRX or Integra. The differenes between the two are slight,
but they are there. The dissimilarity thats got me stumped right
now is the clutch disc size. this particulr Eng/Trans combo came
with two different size discs...200mm and 212mm. I'm hoping
someone here can point me at a tag or ID mark on the tranny
that will tell me which one I have. Save me from taking it apart
and measuring it before i buy the clutch. As far as the swap goes,
its in the cards. I want to drop a JDM B16A boosted into the car.
But right now, scratch says get the clutch....save up for the swap.

A D16A6 isn't really a "performance mod". It's kind of well..yea nevermind. But an Exedy stage 1, or an OEM replacement by ACT or an ACT stage one would suffice easily. I'm sure you could find one for the A6. It's most likely like a B series where most of the clutches are the same.
