Clutch opinions and experiences.
Alrighty.
I am looking to get a new clutch for the CRX. No need for anything crazy since it is a B17 that will most likely never see boost.
I have driven many cars with the Exedy stage one clutch.
I am contemplating getting a clutch from LSD.
Anyone have any opinions on their clutch kits. I see they have a full disk and a sprung six puck for about the same price as they sell the Exedy kit for.
A six puck seems like overkill.
I may eventually spray the B17 with a small 50-65 shot.

lsd clutch or act. I have used act clutches for years one that I actually used in my first swap back in 1997. That clutch would be used in my civic for the next 6 years daily driven zc while in college. Then the clutch went into d15bastards turbo d15b which ran 12's on slicks. The clutch never once failed after proably 100k+ miles and just pure abuse. I think the clutch is now on his daily driver crx with a sohc vtec.

I really like the clutch I have minus the fact that is doesn't seem to disengage all the way. Siupposedly it is a Spec stage 1, but who knows. It came with the GSR when I bought it and when I rebuilt the trans, I had no real reason to pull the clutch assembly apart. When I did the swap to the CRX, I really didn't have a reason to pull the clutch apart. In retrospect, I should have done so just to inspect it.
I need to just tear the ****** apart to see what is going on, but if I am in there, I will most likely replace the clutch.
