In my case it is really the pedal itself. Can almost feel it through my foot.

Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
The aftermarket clutches kit are not good especially the bearings. I know that because I have on my civic an Aisin kit.
I am planing to change my clutch and I am wondering which clutch kit to put the stock or from civics d16.
The oem clutches kit from d15-d16 engines are better or what else from our d14 series clutches?

Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
ACT are said to be good. Exedy too, but not the organic ones. When did you replace the stock one? Did you see what make it was?
Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
I replaced 2 years ago, it is Aisin one.
But now I am planing to put an OEM clutch kit and i don't know which one to choose a d14 or d15-16 series clutch kit (disc, plate, bearing).

Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
ACT are also known to have Heavy pressure plates .
If you quite often launch your civic hard like in drag racing you'll most likely be better of with a puck style disk.The material grabs harder ,as like the organic plates don't.They don't like to get "bashed"on.I'm going to get a Competition Clutch stage 1 6 puck for a d16.Which offers 40-50% holding capacity over stock.More then i will ever need on the D14.
Ow yeah don't get to heavy pressure plates the last thing you want is Crank walk .Imo you'll never need a stage 2 clutch on a N/A D14 .

Quote from Endyn:"The combustion chamber is a better shape than the DOHC.So don't chunk those 1.6 SOHC engines, they can make really good power. For a pure performance application, regardless of application, I'd choose the SOHC. No bull!"

Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
Indeed OEM D14 clutch doesn't hold long as I found when launching the 11th time full load. Still since I backed of the clutch is still works fine during normal use, just don't get it too hot.
Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
Strangly mine at 110'000kms is ruined. It holds the revs during gear changes and the bearing is also making noises when i release the clutch gear. How can this be explained? The car was not for races before i get it... Just for normal city use... Cheers
