Action Clutch Stage 2 Clutch Kit - 1992-2001 Honda Prelude
When bolt-ons and track use have your 1992-2001 Prelude slipping a Stage 1 or the tired factory clutch, the Action Clutch Stage 2 (1KS) kit is the step up. It's rated for 110% more holding capacity than stock, built around a reinforced steel-backed segmented Kevlar disc, and it's the right call for a Prelude that's built to be driven hard but still has to behave on the street.
Steel-Backed Segmented Kevlar Disc
This kit uses a reinforced steel-backed segmented Kevlar friction disc. The Kevlar material is where it earns its keep: extended lifespan, smooth engagement, and good heat dissipation, so it holds hard without the harsh on-off feel of an aggressive puck disc. The steel backing adds the strength to handle the extra torque and stand up to repeated hard use. Whether your Prelude is on a basic bolt-on setup or running cams, this disc keeps up with what an H22 or H23 can put down.
Manageable Pedal Feel
The pressure plate is a single-diaphragm heavy-duty unit. Paired with the Kevlar disc, it delivers an OEM-like pedal feel and smooth engagement once it's broken in, firmer than a worn stock clutch but not a leg workout. You get a big jump in holding capacity without a clutch that beats you up in traffic, which matters on a car you drive to the track and home again.
Know The Intended Use
This kit is built for street and occasional track use, circuit, time attack, and road racing. It is not recommended for drag racing or drifting, since those uses shock-load a clutch in a way this disc isn't designed for. For bolt-on street driving and road-course work, it's right in its element.
Action Clutch's Enclosed Spring Retainer
One engineering detail worth knowing: Action Clutch uses patented fully enclosed spring retainers on the disc. On conventional discs, the torsional springs inside the hub can dislodge under stress and fly into your transmission or engine internals. Action Clutch's enclosed design prevents that failure mode entirely. Their engineering team carries over 60 years of combined experience, and every kit is inspected and certified before it ships.
Fitment
Fits the 1992-2001 Honda Prelude. Confirm your engine and transmission combo before ordering, and if you're unsure about compatibility with a swap or a non-stock transmission, contact us first.
Break-In
A proper break-in is required for the best performance and longevity. Take it easy for the first several hundred miles so the friction surfaces seat and heat cycle evenly, which is what builds the disc's full holding capacity. Avoid riding the clutch, since repeated slipping or clutch-in coasting works against that. Once it's broken in, you've got the full rated capacity.
Best For
- 1992-2001 Honda Prelude on full bolt-ons or cams
- Daily drivers who want OEM-like engagement with a big jump in holding capacity
- Occasional circuit, time attack, and road racing
- Anyone whose power has outgrown a Stage 1 or the factory clutch
Not Ideal For
- Drag racing or high-rev drag launches
- Drifting or repeated hard abuse, step up to a higher stage
If your Prelude has outgrown a Stage 1 or the factory clutch, the Stage 2 is the one that holds it: 110% more capacity, a Kevlar disc that engages smooth and lasts, and manners that still work on the street. Break it in properly, keep it off the drag strip and out of drift events, and it'll deliver everywhere it's meant to.
