Competition Clutch Triple Disc Clutch Kit for Honda/Acura

Competition Clutch Triple Disc Clutch Kit for Honda and Acura H Series MFG 1848014 3

If you are shopping a real Acura H Series clutch upgrade for big power, this is the full race Competition Clutch triple disc package, clutch and flywheel together, built around the H Series manual transmission clutch pattern. The clutch has one job, it connects and disconnects crank torque to the trans input shaft. A triple disc clutch system does that with three smaller discs stacked in the same bellhousing space, so you get a compact 184 millimeter setup that still holds torque the way a larger single disc usually would not.

Here is the honest why. Factory single disc clutches run out of friction area, clamp load, and heat capacity fast once you start doing repeated hard pulls, drag launches, or slipping it on boost. A ceramic triple disc clutch fixes the area and heat problem by adding interfaces, but it comes with trade offs. You will hear it. You will feel it. If you want an easy engagement clutch Honda owners expect in traffic, a full race ceramic stack is not that. If you want an H Series clutch for racing that you can beat on lap after lap or pass after pass, this is the direction people go.

This Honda H Series clutch kit uses Competition Clutchs 184 millimeter multi plate stack and includes a matching flywheel. Competition Clutch calls out their Power V drive clutch floater plate design, they describe it as self centering so drive forces stay even across the stack, which supports dynamic balance clutch Acura guys care about at high rpm. We run these exact parts on our own cars when the goal is simple, hold the power and survive repeated abuse.

Considerations and installation scope

This is a ceramic multi plate clutch system, so expect more noise at idle, more bite, and a narrower window between slip and lock compared to an OEM organic single disc. Competition Clutch includes guidance for stack orientation and using the supplied alignment tool, do not skip that or you will hate your life on install. Like any clutch job, you pull the transmission, and the included flywheel replaces the factory flywheel.
