The Exedy cerametallic clutch kit handles way more power than your factory clutch. It's built for RSX Type S and 8th gen Civic Si owners who actually drive their cars hard - canyon runs, autocross, track days, or just beating on it on the street. The cerametallic friction material resists heat and fade way better than your organic factory clutch disc. It's got 93% more holding power than stock, so it'll grab even when you're making serious power or launching hard. If you're boosted or you're revving to 8500+ RPM, you need a clutch that won't slip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHere's Why Your Stock Clutch Can't Handle It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYour factory clutch is designed for stock power and normal driving. When you're making more power than stock or you're launching hard and banging gears, your stock clutch can't clamp down hard enough. The clutch disc slips against the flywheel and the pressure plate. You'll smell burning clutch, your RPMs flare when you're accelerating hard, and eventually the clutch just won't grab anymore. The Exedy cerametallic clutch has 93% more clamping force than your factory clutch. It's not going to slip even when you're making big power or doing hard launches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCerametallic Disc Handles Heat Better\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe clutch disc uses cerametallic friction material instead of organic material like your factory clutch. Cerametallic handles heat way better than organic material. When you're doing repeated hard launches or you're slipping the clutch on track, the disc gets hot. Organic material breaks down from heat and starts to slip. Cerametallic doesn't break down from heat like organic does. The thick disc design also gives you more thermal mass, so it absorbs more heat before it starts to fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIt'll Chatter - That's Normal\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCerametallic clutches chatter when you're taking off from a stop. You'll hear and feel it vibrating through the drivetrain when you're letting the clutch out. That's normal for cerametallic clutches. The friction material grabs harder than organic clutches and it chatters during engagement. Most people get used to it after a few days. If you can't deal with chatter, don't buy a cerametallic clutch. Get a dual-friction or organic clutch instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpring Center Damper Protects Your Transmission\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe clutch disc has a spring-centered damper built into it. The springs absorb shock loads when you're engaging the clutch hard or shifting at high RPM. That takes stress off your transmission and drivetrain components. Without the damper, all that shock goes straight into your transmission gears and synchros. The damper helps your transmission last longer even when you're beating on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e8th Gen Civic Si Needs RSX Type S Flywheel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're installing this clutch on a 2006-2011 Civic Si, you need an RSX Type S flywheel. The 8th gen Civic Si came with a dual-mass flywheel from the factory. This clutch doesn't work with the dual-mass flywheel. You need to swap to a single-mass RSX Type S flywheel (part number 22100-PRB-305) before you install this clutch. The RSX Type S already has a single-mass flywheel from the factory, so you don't need to change anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExedy cerametallic clutch disc (thick disc version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePerformance pressure plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThrowout bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePilot bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlignment tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e93% more holding power than stock clutch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring center damper to reduce drivetrain shock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits Your Car\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2002-2006 Acura RSX Type S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2006-2011 Honda Civic Si (8th gen, requires RSX Type S flywheel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatible Engines\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eK20A2, K20Z1 (2002-2006 RSX Type S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eK20Z3 (2006-2011 Civic Si)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This clutch will chatter during engagement. That's normal for cerametallic clutches. If you can't deal with chatter, don't buy this clutch. 8th gen Civic Si owners need an RSX Type S flywheel to use this clutch. Resurface or replace your flywheel when you're installing this clutch. Don't install a new clutch on a scored or warped flywheel. It won't engage smoothly and you'll get chatter and slipping. Break in the clutch properly. Do 500 miles of normal driving with no hard launches or high-RPM clutch dumps. If you don't break it in, you'll glaze the disc and it won't grab right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e2002-2006 Acura RSX Type-S\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e2006-2011 Honda Civic Si\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"Included\"\u003e\n(1) Pressure Plate\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Clutch Disc\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Alignment Tool\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Throw Out Bearing\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Pilot Bushing\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Pack of Grease\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"InstallGuide\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Exedy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44782685749282,"sku":"EXE-08951","price":354.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/5076745.JPG?v=1769639006","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/exedy-clutch-kit-for-02-06-rsx-type-s-06-11-civic-si","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
