PRODUCT DETAILS
Competition Clutch Stage 1.5 1500 Series Clutch Kit 8022 1500 is a single disc setup for manual transmission Honda and Acura fitments across the B series, D series, F series, H series, and K series families. If you are shopping a B series clutch kit Honda, a Honda D series clutch upgrade, a Honda F series clutch replacement, an H series Acura clutch kit, or an Acura K series clutch kit, this Competition Clutch 1500 Kit is the classic move when you want more holding power without turning your daily into a leg press. We run these exact parts on our own cars, because nothing exposes a bad clutch faster than real street miles and hard shifts.
This is a matched pressure plate and Full face organic clutch kit disc, so you get the familiar engagement you expect from organic material, just with more clamp and capacity. Your stock clutch usually prioritizes smooth takeoffs and long life at stock torque. The moment you start driving it like you mean it, or you add the usual bolt ons, the clutch becomes the weak link before the gearbox does. That is exactly where this Honda clutch kit stage 1.5 fits, it is an economical replacement that keeps the pedal feel close to stock, as Competition Clutch states and the major catalogs repeat.
Competition Clutch does the capacity increase through the pressure plate and disc combo, not by changing clutch geometry. They publish a Competition Clutch torque upgrade of roughly 40 to 50 percent over stock. In the real world, that means you can lean on your B series or K series harder in the midrange without that annoying flare between gears. If you want something that bites consistently in traffic and does not chatter like a race disc, full face organic is the right compromise, and it is why this Competition Clutch Stage 1.5 setup stays popular for street cars.
Here is the trade off, and it matters. Competition Clutch explicitly says this kit is not for added forced induction, so do not run it with a turbo, supercharger, or nitrous and expect it to live. If your build will exceed the intended torque range, step up to a higher capacity clutch and pick it based on real torque numbers for your exact combo, not vibes. This kit works great as an Acura clutch upgrade kit or Stage 1.5 clutch Acura option when you stay in the lane it was built for.

Installer considerations: Double check your exact drivetrain variant before you order. Catalogs list this alongside multiple families, and the clutch has to match your transmission and release system. Treat it like any proper clutch job, inspect the flywheel, replace worn release components, and use the included alignment tool to center the disc. If you are after a Reliable clutch Honda K series feel with more headroom, this is one of those parts that makes sense, especially if you want Competition Clutch for B series or even a D F series clutch kit Acura style upgrade without a bunch of drama.
