1st Gen CRX Clutch setup. Need help?
 

Hi. I got an 86 CRX Si.I have a brown valve cover DOHC ZC installed in it.I decided to go IHI RHB5 turbo.I'm still in the process of completing it. My problem is, I decided to put an 8.5lbs flywheel from ACT. And you know you have to upgrade to a bigger clutch right.But in my case, I have to mix and match my parts cause the disc from a 91 CRX SI wont't work. I used the one from an 88 Accord. As for my pressure plate, that's where my poblems at. I used the one from the 91 CRX SI, And the plate hits inside my tranny. My question is: WHAT PRESSURE PLATE CAN I USE WITH THIS SETUP? I grinded the plate down a little to clear the spot where it hit my tranny( along the edges of the plate). But I feel it's not gonna work.CRAZY SWAP HUH? ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!

I've seen this before... you gotta grind the spot on the tranny down where it hits... you should be fine...

The wall on the tranny is pretty thick right? I mean, if I'm to grind it, I don't wanna grind a little and boom there are the gears showing. So just grind enough to clear the plate? I'll try it. But, you think I might need a new pressure plate? Mine was new, but grinded it. Does it become unbalanced or something like that? I'm thinking of getting a new one.
