I did my 96Integra clutch reading this.......runs great now!!!! I could not have done it w/out this!!!!:bowrofl:

 

I have a b16a2 civic with aem intake, msd ignition 10mm and dc sports headers.. does it worth the cost and the time to change my flywheel, pressure plate and clutch to a stage 2 kit??...

 

Is their any alternative to the Honda required mtf fluid? I don't know if this is true or not but i was told u can use motor oil, like 5w30 or something like that, true or false?

 

You really aren't making enough power over the stock to warrant a new clutch unless the old one is going bad. And the flywheel was mostly for pedal feel while cornering.

You can use motor oil, but at 5 dollars a quart MTF is well worth the money.

Alright then! thanks alot for answering my question! That's what i tought.. unless i run on a turbo or a supercharge i dont really need that..

 

NP, but this car had a turbo on it (this was my car that the DIY was done on) and it was for purposes other then the power of the car. The stock clutch and flywheel would have been fine and held up to some abuse, but I was abusing it constantly, so it was just better to change it while the car was completely apart.

 

Even though it's been probably a year since I changed out the clutch in the rex, I have to say this thread saved my ass, sure a wee bit diff, but guided me in the right direction, don't think I ever posted a thank you in it so, figured I would

 

Glad it helped and that the car is still running strong. Makes it a lot easier when someone can show you visually what to expect.

 

so i followed wcstyle's great diy write up 3 years ago. i bought a cheapo clutch kit from local parts house here in portland, oregon. the clutch is now slipping again, 30,000 miles later. is this possible? should i buy a better pressureplate? i'm gonnaa pull the tranny soon & see what in the #%R$@! is going on. only thing i can think of is oil from tranny getting in there somehow. i dunnoo...its a 1987 Si, 225,000 miles

looks like a rear main seal. engine oil was in the housing. should have replaced it 3 years ago... false economy...

 

Is there another way to hold the flywheel from turning when removing the bolts to the flywheel other than using a prybar on the teeth of the flywheel? Is there a special tool that will hold the flywheel from turning?
