Exedy K Series Stage 1 Clutch & Flywheel for Acura/Honda

Exedy Stage 1 Clutch & Flywheel – Honda/Acura K Series

This Exedy K Series clutch kit (SKU: EXE-08806FW) is for you if your car’s past the “bolt-ons only” stage but still sees real street miles. The Exedy Stage 1 clutch kit is a K Series Stage 1 clutch and flywheel combo that balances daily drivability with enough grip for light track days, autocross, or spirited canyon runs.

This Exedy organic clutch kit uses upgraded friction material that resists slip and heat-soak far better than stock, so it won’t glaze after a few hard pulls. Clamp load steps up for modified engines, so it actually holds power instead of turning into a rev limiter. Pedal effort comes up slightly vs. OEM, but it’s still very livable in traffic—think “OEM-plus,” not leg day every stoplight.

The kit pairs a Stage 1 clutch and flywheel with Exedy’s HF02 lightweight flywheel, giving the car a quicker-revving, more responsive feel without turning it into a stalling, on/off switch. The Ultra-Fiber organic disc uses a high-strength fiber mix and optimized copper content to handle repeated heat cycles, which matters if you’re doing back-to-back pulls or HPDE sessions. Engagement stays smooth, with a nice predictable bite point—important if this is your main performance clutch for Honda or performance clutch for Acura duty.

The pressure plate uses ductile components and targets about 40% more clamping load than genuine OEM parts, which gives you noticeably higher torque capacity while still being realistic for a street-driven Stage 1 clutch for Honda or Stage 1 clutch for Acura builds. Spring-center dampers in the disc help soak up drivetrain shock, so you don’t rattle your teeth every time you slip it on a hill. The assembly carries SFI 1.1 certification, so it’s approved for competitive motorsports use where rules actually matter.

If you’re planning a Honda Civic Si clutch upgrade, Acura RSX clutch upgrade, or TSX setup that can deal with bolt-ons and a tune without drama, this Exedy clutch flywheel kit is exactly that middle ground. We run Exedy Stage 1 setups on our own K cars for the same reason: they hold power, stay consistent when hot, and don’t punish you on the drive home. Note: torque ratings are at the wheels, not crank—so the real-world numbers actually match what your dyno sheet shows.
