Competition Clutch Stage 4 Clutch Kit for 92-01 Prelude

Competition Clutch Stage 4 Clutch Kit, Strip Series 1620 (8014 1620) is a single disc replacement for the factory pressure plate and disc that live inside your bellhousing. On a Prelude, this is the part that actually connects and disconnects engine torque from the transmission input shaft, so you can leave a stop and bang gears without shutting the car off. We run these exact parts on our own builds when the stock clutch starts waving the white flag.

This Competition Clutch Stage 4 setup uses a six puck ceramic sprung hub disc and a Performance Pressure Plate Prelude owners usually want when power and abuse go up. The six puck layout means you get six ceramic contact pads instead of a full face disc, which typically grabs harder and tolerates heat better, but it also means engagement feels more abrupt. The sprung hub matters on a street driven car because it takes some of the shock out of launches and shifts compared to a rigid hub. If you have ever thought, I want a Six Puck Clutch Prelude setup, but I do not want it to feel like an on off switch, this is the direction you look.

Per Competition Clutch published specs and common retailer listings, the headline with the Stage 4 Sprung Clutch 1620 is torque capacity. They quote up to 250 percent over stock. Real talk, that does not mean it drives like stock, it means it is aimed at a Clutch Kit for Modified Prelude builds where a factory disc just slips once you turn the boost up, add aggressive cams, or start launching the car on sticky tires.

When you pick this kit

You usually land on this Prelude Sprung Clutch Kit when you want a higher bite Honda Prelude Performance Clutch without going full rigid hub. It is a solid call for a High Torque Prelude Clutch goal, especially if you drive the car hard, track it, or drag it, and you want a matched disc and pressure plate from Competition Clutch in one box. If you are specifically shopping the sprung 1620, this is it.

Installation and use considerations

This is a transmission out job. Plan on inspecting the flywheel since it is not included, and do not ignore surface condition because a glazed or cracked flywheel can make even a new clutch feel terrible. Use the included alignment tool, replace the pilot bearing or bushing where your setup uses one, and actually do the 300 mile break in if you want it to live. If you want maximum bite and you do not care about smoothness, Competition Clutch also offers a rigid hub option commonly referenced as the Stage 4 Rigid Clutch 0620, which we would only recommend if you are already comfortable with the extra chatter and harsh engagement that can come with a rigid disc. If you need an Acura High Torque Clutch Kit for a swap situation, verify the transmission and flywheel combo first, then match the part number to the application table.
