PRODUCT DETAILS
Competition Clutch Stage 3 Street and Strip Series 2600 Clutch Kit is the Competition Clutch Stage 3 Kit we point people to when a stock clutch starts slipping the moment you add real load. It’s a single disc replacement for the factory clutch and pressure plate on a 92 Integra manual clutch or a 93 Integra clutch kit setup, specifically 1992 to 1993 Acura Integra manual transmission cars. In plain terms, the disc and pressure plate clamp to the flywheel to move torque into the trans, and the release bearing lets you disengage it so you can shift without grinding your way into a rebuild.
This is an Integra 1992 clutch upgrade built around two big changes versus the typical organic factory disc, ceramic friction and a more aggressive pressure plate. Competition Clutch calls it good for up to a 150 percent increase in torque capacity versus stock, which is exactly what you want if you’re shopping for a high torque Integra clutch for street pulls, track days, or a weekend at the strip. Just don’t expect it to feel like an OEM commuter clutch, it’s a Stage 3. You’ll trade some smoothness for bite.
The disc uses segmented ceramic friction facings, so think harder hit and better heat tolerance than organic. You also get a sprung hub, which helps take the edge off driveline shock compared to a solid hub disc. If you’ve been looking for an Integra ceramic clutch kit with an Integra ceramic sprung disc, this is that combination. The pressure plate comes matched in the kit, and no flywheel is included, so plan accordingly.

Included components are a performance pressure plate, a high torque sprung ceramic disc, a release bearing, and an alignment tool. Competition Clutch notes that the box may also include a throwout bearing and pilot bearing or bushing where applicable, so do yourself a favor and verify what your car needs and what showed up in the kit before you’ve got the transmission on the floor.
Installation scope and considerations: This is a transmission out job, no shortcuts. Use the alignment tool to center the disc so the trans actually slides back on without a fight. Competition Clutch calls for a 300 mile break in, and yes, it matters with ceramic. Drive it like a normal human for a bit or you can glaze it and end up saying, “This clutch sucks,” when it’s really the break in.

It’s also a solid match for builds labeled Stage 3 clutch Integra GS R, LS Integra clutch kit, Competition Clutch kit Integra GS, and Stage 3 clutch Acura RS, as long as your exact transmission and engine combo matches the 1992 to 1993 Integra manual application for this part number.
