Replacing Clutch help

It would be useless to get a more expensive clutch when your stock. You aren't making enough power to have anything more than the OEM clutch. The Exedy OEM replacement clutch is a good one for you to choose. It's a good reliable clutch.
When installing your clutch make sure you use some blue loctite on your pressure plate bolts and your flywheel bolts.
The vibration can make them get loose and make you have to drop your transmission again. Make sure you torque everything down to spec and in a criscross pattern.
As far as a flywheel it kind of depends on your goals. A lighter flywheel is good for N/A. You will notice a huge difference between how touchy your gas pedal is when you first take off and it will rev up faster.
If I were you, I would replace the throwout bearing while you have the transmission out.

Def. make sure your rear main seal isn't leaking. Also, lightly lube the splines on the input shaft so the disk is able to slide nicely. Also lube both pivot ball posts for release fork. Also, when the tranny is out, check the condition of your rear motor mount, it's so much easier to get out now, esp. is it's the tall EX manual mount.
I'm still on the fence about light f/w's. I ran the stocker for years, then went to a Bisimoto 8.9lb f/w (actual weight 9 lb 13 oz, go figure) and then eventually went back to stock f/w. Bisi wasn't bad at all, didn't experience a real loss in inertia but also didn't notice a real gain either. I mean, once you get the stocker spining, that'll be inertia that will work for you. That's how I look @ it at least.
H series tranny>light weight f/w IMO.Last edited by Granite CB7; 03-03-2012, 01:58 PM.

I simply had my existing flywheel resurfaced. The other thing that should be replaced while the transmission it out is the rear main crank seal on tbe block. You can either replace the seal in the plate that mounts to tbe block (requires proper installation depth), or buy the plate with the new seal already installed.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

I ran a lightweight flywheel, and I liked it. It takes some getting used to, though. I stalled a few times because the RPMs would drop more rapidly when I let off the gas.
Better than just checking the rear main seal, you should simply replace it. If that seal fails, your engine is going to be toast. Better safe than sorry!
Also, use a throwout bearing from Honda. I've heard the bearings that come with the Exedy kits are good, and they probably are... but I ran an aftermarket bearing in my car, and it failed... frying everything clutch-related.
