Does Anybody know of a reputable performance clutch for the Fit?

[RDS]

Very nice. Will wait for the Stage 1 clutch, patiently

[yk@exedy_clutch]

I dont blame you. It will be worth the wait.

But for those who are desperate, or have had failures, or just don't plan to do many mods, this OE replacement is a worthy "upgrade"

[smirff07]

so when are the staged clutches coming and prices?

[yk@exedy_clutch]

My latest information says that we should see the Stage 1 & Stage 2 clutches for the Fit by the end of May.

Pricing is TBD at the moment. But Im confident they will be reasonably priced.

you can try act(advance clutch technology),it is very useful only if your fit have more than 190hp..if less than that i think theres no significant differences,because from my experience with my turbo l15a idsi(non vtec) that has 191hp on crank( 0.71 bar boosted tdo4+standard internal+extra injectors+intercooler),the original factory clutch still ok and not slip,untill i remove the downpipe.of course after take out the downpipe(whole piping+exhaust),the horsepower will increase and it always slipped especialy when i try drag the car.here in indonesia,mostly the honda jazz vtec touring car change their clutch to act,imported from us,which i think cheaper for local people there.but u have to buy the pressure plate + disc for mitsubishi car,honda fit not out for sale yet i think.if you visit the act website you search the pressure plate code mb013,and the disc code 4200104.this setup fit our l15a gearbox,but you have to skimmed the flywheel(make the surface flat) in order to fit it,the screw hole+position all exactly fit our l15a gearbox without any modification.but,for sure in the future you must replace with act also because after modify the flywheel ,original l15a clutch cant fit anymore.or you buy new l15a flywheel to fit the original clutch back.this setup also just fine for daily use,but lil bit harder and day by day you will adapted to it,dont worry...happy trying,hope i can solve your problem...

[yk@exedy_clutch]

Hmm. I wasnt aware that that was even an option.. sounds kinda scary though. But I guess if you are desperate, that would be an option.

Whatever works I guess.

[rsfit]

scary? haha...first im also doubt bout the setup,but cant hold anymore bcoz always slip the clutch when boosting.and it realy works especially for those boosting the l15a...so far i think it is the cheaper way than other brand as im from south east asia and usd rate really high nowadays...lucky for those who live in US...

[yk@exedy_clutch]

Im just not a fan of making things "fit"... especially when they spin at high revs... Ive seen too many shattered flywheels and clutches fly through bellhousings to really feel comfortable about that sort of thing...

But hey, thats just me...

BTW: our stage 2 will hold your power when it arrives.

[rsfit]

you got your point...and im so sorry because im not discrediting someone,in my opinion this setup is not "just to fit" in..i already use it for two months,and it really works.this idea came from the race participant itself,it is also use by highly rev honda jazz vtec "touring challange race cars" in indonesia that of course running many laps at the circuit for years now without any problem...thats just my little info...

[yk@exedy_clutch]

Sorry, If I seemed like I was criticizing your solution, that wasnt my intention.
Believe me, I completely appreciate creativity in solving problems.

I just wanted to remind people of the potential dangers that we ALL choose to overlook sometimes when we are building our projects. (believe me, I have been there and done that)

Im just glad that there are at least SOME options out there for the Fit guys...
Since it seems like the Fit never really got the aftermarket attention that it has deserved.

COME ON!!! STAGE 1 CLUTCH PLZ!!! I'm at 50k miles and mine is still pretty good but I'm desperate to change it out. jejeje I want that high grip clutch feel.

[smirff07]

thats what im sayin a light weight flywheel and grippy clutch for around 500-600 bucks, together. plz some one. i want i want

[yk@exedy_clutch]

Well, Im pleased to say that the Stage 1 clutches have arrived... The Stage 2 should be here very soon.

Our distributors should either be getting some within the next week or so, or should at least have access to them around that same time.

They are being engraved with their SFI number as we speak.

HOW MUCH???

[yk@exedy_clutch]

We dont dictate what the parts sell for, so I cant tell you what you will pay. However, retail will be: $464.

So its safe to assume it will cost quite a bit less than that. I just cant tell you how much less. sorry I cant be more helpful on that one.

[yk@exedy_clutch]

here is some more info for you guys.

[gotfitted]

this is slightly off topic, but are you guys developing a flywheel too?

[yk@exedy_clutch]

not currently.
