2000honda Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 well I thought it might be better then the one I have. If you didnt already know im in the middle of swapping my motor...and i have the clutch on the engine i took out. but dont have the right socket to take it off, so before i took it off i wanted to explore my options.

What is swap, and #'s you are expecting out of it? How many miles on other clutch set up? Is the socket you are needing a 12 point 10MM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000honda Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 same engine, d16y8, looking for better performance. quicker shifting, thinking about a short shifter, i got a cold air intake im gonna put in, and yeah thats exactly what i need.

Cold air intakes have been known to effect throttle response negitively! The shorter the distance of travel the more responsive it will be. Thats why you will see some people mount filter directly to TB! Is this just another used motor, or is it a completely rebuilt motor? Stock clutches are good for up to 200Hp I do believe? What clutch are you looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000honda Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 yeah i was thinking im going to only use one of the tubes so that it will be shorter, then i wanted to get a short shifter so my shifts will be quicker..im thinkin my stock clutch will be fine...i mean my car only has 130hp. i just wanted to see if a new clutch would make a difference. its just another used motor(100,000miles) but the clutch didnt come with it so im using the one off my old motor (198,000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so dont use that! Why put a near 200K clutch in when you can get a Exedy stock replacement(better than stock really) for so cheap? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts-Acces...p3756.m14.l1318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpearce1974 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/j...ORQUE+CONVERTER check ittttt Need throw out bearing too, which it does not show. In my experience it seems that the Honda throw out bearing is typically what fails! I bought my Exedy kit for my Del Slow for $215.00 with a Firenza light weight flywheel! Damn I miss my Sol! :( I bought it and had to replace clutch before I could even drive it took out clutch and bearing was shot, clutch disc was about the same as new one I put in! $170.00 not too bad, just add another $20.00 for TOB?? I would still rather have the Exedy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
