Competition Clutch Stage 5 Kit for Acura Integra 94-01

Competition Clutch Stage 5 Strip Series 1420 Clutch Kit (MFG SKU 8026 1420, our SKU COC-8026-1420) is a complete manual trans replacement package for the usual Honda and Acura crowd, including the integra clutch kit 94-01 fitments. If you need a performance clutch acura setup that actually holds when you turn the boost up, this is the kind of stage 5 clutch upgrade you look at. We run these exact parts on builds where an OEM style disc starts to smell after a couple pulls.

Here’s the deal. The stock clutch in an Integra, Civic, or CR V prioritizes smooth takeoff, low noise, and forgiving engagement. That’s great until you add torque and heat, then the factory style friction and clamp load become the bottleneck. This competition clutch stage 5 kit swaps you to a ceramic multi puck disc and a higher clamp pressure plate for higher torque use. Competition Clutch says you can see up to a 300 percent increase in torque capacity over stock. Treat that like a ceiling, your actual result depends on your tune, your tires, your flywheel condition, and how hard you abuse it.

The big change compared to a full face organic disc is the four puck layout and ceramic buttons. Less contact area means it bites harder and sheds heat differently, but it also means engagement feels more on or off. This kit uses a 4 puck acura clutch that’s a stage 5 sprung disc clutch with a six spring steel riveted hub. In plain terms, that sprung hub helps take the edge off drivetrain shock during shifts compared to a rigid hub, especially on higher horsepower setups. It still won’t feel like stock, and if you want grandma smooth, you’re shopping the wrong shelf.

Selection and use considerations: You pick this high torque acura clutch when you need holding power and you accept the tradeoffs. Expect more bite, more chatter potential, and less forgiveness in traffic versus organic. This is the typical integra stage 5 clutch answer for turbo street cars, track days, and drag passes, and it also crosses over for people searching a civic stage 5 clutch kit or a clutch kit honda cr-v for the listed years. Install matters a lot, use the alignment tool, verify the release bearing fit, and don’t ignore flywheel condition. If you’re deciding between a sprung strip clutch kit like this and a rigid strip clutch kit, go rigid if you can live with harsher engagement and more noise, go sprung if you want a little more compliance. Either way, this acura competition clutch kit makes sense when you’re tired of slipping and you want a real torque boost clutch kit style upgrade.
