I asked someone this before, but I just want everyone’s opinion. I just ordered a clutch masters stage three joint with flywheel for my fifth gen. My wife drives the car to go to school and bring little man to daycare during the week. Now, is the stage three that much harder over stock on the calves? Let me know my Accord brothas. I want the stage three, but if it's too tough on the wife and I for that matter, for daily driving then I’ll just get the stage 2. Thx fellas!

 

get the Stage 2. if your not running a lot of power, the stage three holding power will mess you motor up. If you wife isn't into the racing scene don't get it. presonally I recommend Exedy Organic racing and ACT.

 

Why those as opposed to CM?

 

Stage 3 is going to be very grabby. Stage 2 would fit you better...the power is not so much an issue with a clutch as is the torque...and you won't need a Stage 3.

 

I just called up the shop and asked to send it back for the stage two and even offered to pay for shipping because he doesn't stock stage three or two and told him why and said it feels chill. Because I don't want it to feel stock and I was worried about it feelin tough on the legs sitting in traffic. My wife does like all the aftermarket stuff too actually. She drives pretty good! Can't get it installed now anyway cuz my synchros are f***ed up going into fifth. Time to pay Honda a visit. Keep the wisdom comin though fellas!:thumbup:

 

I didn't get you before on the power thing. I do now and I'm gonna call and do the stage two.

 

thanks for clarifing acurafanatic.

 

Thx for the help fellas! Gotta pay for it to be shipped back and forth but I'd rather do that than send it to the mechanic after it gets f****ed up. .

 

A couple of time at the track my clutch wouldn't grab at all, I was reving it pretty high. Would a stage 1 or stage 2 clutch fix that? Is a stage 2 close to stock in terms of give?
