Exedy's MC553 is the OE-style replacement for the 2001-2005 Civic with the D17 and a manual, built by the same company that supplies Honda's clutch hardware, so it's the fix that makes the car feel like it did before the seals gave up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Is and Why It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe master is the hydraulic pump on the firewall. Pedal pushes the piston, pressure goes down the line to the slave on the transmission, slave moves the fork. When the bore wears or the cup seals harden, pressure bleeds past the piston and the pedal goes soft and inconsistent. Nothing else fixes that except a new cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMC553 keeps the factory bore size and stroke, so pedal effort and engagement range stay stock. It's not a ratio change and it's not sold as a feel upgrade. Aluminum body, EPDM seals, honed bore. Exedy GlobalParts is the old Daikin Clutch USA operation, and these are the same units that go into the box under the Honda part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMC553\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOE replacement clutch master cylinder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum, honed bore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEPDM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReservoir\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included; reuses the factory reservoir and hose\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaster cylinder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2001-2005 Honda Civic DX, LX, EX, HX, GX, Value Package\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD17A, manual transmission\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot for the 2002-2005 Civic Si (EP3).
