Action Clutch Stage 3 Clutch Kit (94-01 Integra)

If you're pushing your B18B or B18C past what the OEM clutch can handle, the Action Clutch ACR-0476 Stage 3 1MS Metallic Sprung Kit is built for exactly that situation. Whether you're running a built motor on the street, making occasional drag passes, or throwing your Integra into drift events, this kit gives you a meaningful upgrade without turning your daily driver into a chore to operate.

What's in the Kit

You get a complete bolt-in package: a Sprung MIBA Ceramic 6 Puck Disc, a Single Diaphragm Heavy-Duty Pressure Plate with reinforced drive straps, a Conventional Release Bearing, a Pilot Bearing/Bushing (where applicable), and a Clutch Alignment Tool. Everything you need to do a clean install in one box.

Technical Specs and Holding Capacity

The Stage 3 kit delivers 170% increased crank torque holding capacity over the factory clutch. The pressure plate uses a single diaphragm design with reinforced drive straps for consistent clamp load across the RPM range. The MIBA ceramic disc provides a higher coefficient of friction than organic or Kevlar materials, which is what gets you that torque capacity gain without having to jump to a rigid puck setup. The sprung hub design absorbs driveline shock, so you retain a degree of street manners that a solid hub disc would eliminate.

Pedal Feel and Engagement

Expect a noticeably firmer pedal and a higher, more defined engagement point compared to stock. The ceramic disc will introduce some clutch chatter on cold take-offs - this is normal and will decrease significantly after the break-in procedure is complete. Once bedded in, engagement becomes consistent and predictable. This is not a daily-driver-only clutch, but it's far more streetable than a Stage 4 rigid setup.

Ideal Use Cases

This kit is the right call for B-series builds in the 250-350whp range running heavy street use with occasional track days, drag nights, or drift events. If you're on full race duty or running over 400whp, step up to the Stage 4. If you're under 250whp on a mostly street car, the Stage 2 will give you a more comfortable daily experience. Stage 3 sits in that middle ground where you want real performance without giving up too much street usability.

Is This the Right Stage for You?

• Stage 2: Best for lightly modified B-series builds under ~250whp. Organic disc, closest to OEM feel. Great for street-only cars that see occasional spirited driving.
• Stage 3 (this kit): Ceramic disc with sprung hub. Built for 250-350whp builds doing street and occasional competition. Expect chatter until broken in, firm pedal, strong bite.
• Stage 4: Rigid ceramic disc, maximum holding capacity. Best for dedicated race or drag builds. Not recommended for daily street use due to aggressive engagement and driveline stress.

Break-In Procedure

Proper break-in is required to retain your warranty and to fully develop the clutch's holding capacity. For the first 500 street miles: keep RPMs under 4,500, limit throttle to half-pedal or less, and do not apply boost if your car is turbocharged. Avoid hard launches, slipping the clutch excessively, or any track use during this period. After 500 miles, the friction surfaces will be fully seated and you'll have the full rated holding capacity available.

Why Action Clutch

Action Clutch uses patented fully enclosed spring retainers - the springs inside the sprung hub cannot pop out under load. That's a real engineering difference that protects your transmission and bellhousing. Every kit is inspected and signed off by an engineer before it ships. With over 60 years of collective engineering experience behind their quality control process, this isn't a reboxed generic kit.

Fits: 1994-2001 Acura Integra with B18B or B18C engines (B-Series). Verify your flywheel is compatible before installation. This kit is also sold as SKU ACR-0476 - if you've seen it listed that way, it's the same product.
