Exedy Stage 1 Clutch Kit for 02-06 RSX Type S/06-11 Civic Si

Exedy Stage 1 Clutch Kit - RSX Type S and 8th Gen Civic Si (SKU: EXE-08806)

If you want more grip than stock without turning your car into a chore to drive, the Exedy Stage 1 performance clutch hits that sweet spot. This Exedy Stage 1 Civic kit and Exedy RSX Type S clutch kit uses an organic disc that’s friendly in traffic, but it’ll still handle mild bolt-ons, tune, and the occasional track day.

Pedal effort goes up a bit from stock, but not “leg day” levels. Engagement stays smooth and predictable, so you don’t have to relearn how to drive your car. It’s a solid fit if you’re running common street mods on an RSX Type S or 8th gen Civic Si and want something more serious than an old, glazed OE unit. We use these same Exedy Stage 1 Civic Si and Exedy organic clutch RSX kits on street/track cars where reliability matters more than bragging rights.

The Exedy Stage 1 clutch kit comes complete: pressure plate, clutch disc, throwout bearing, alignment tool, and pilot bushing. The Ultra-Fiber organic disc uses Exedy’s own friction material with high-heat resins, so it hangs in there under abuse without needing a steel backing plate. You get the easy engagement of an OE-style disc, plus a heavy-duty damper to keep drivetrain shock and chatter in check.

• Ultra-Fiber Organic Disc:

  • Exedy’s exclusive organic friction material for consistent bite.
  • High-heat resin bonding for better durability under repeated hard pulls.
  • Drives a lot like stock, so your daily commute doesn’t suck.
  • Oil-quench hardened heavy-duty damper to smooth out engagement and reduce shock.
  • Heavy-duty rivets keep the friction material where it belongs at higher clamp loads.

• High Performance Cover:

  • About 40% more clamp load over stock to hold extra torque from bolt-ons and tuning.
  • Suited for typical street builds: intake, header, exhaust, tune, maybe mild cams.
  • Ductile iron pressure plate for strength and stability at higher RPM.
  • Anti-burst construction to handle heat cycles and high-speed pulls.
  • Stamped steel cover to cut deflection and keep clamp force consistent.
