Product Description

The Competition Clutch 8026-1620 is a Stage 4 Strip Series 1620 clutch kit featuring a 6-puck sprung ceramic disc designed for Honda and Acura vehicles equipped with B-Series engines and hydraulic-type manual transmissions. This kit fits the 1994-2001 Acura Integra (all trims including RS, LS, GS, GS-R, and Type R), 1999-2000 Honda Civic Si, 1994-1997 Honda Del Sol VTEC, and 1998-2001 Honda CR-V. The Stage 4 designation places this kit firmly in the high-performance category, designed for turbocharged, supercharged, and high-horsepower naturally aspirated B-Series builds where the factory clutch and lower-stage aftermarket clutches can no longer hold the power.

The clutch disc features 12 high-coefficient ceramic pads (two per puck) that provide quick, penetrating engagement and extreme-duty friction characteristics. The sprung hub design incorporates 6 dual springs and 6 severe-duty retainer rivets, which absorb driveline shock and ease gear transitions - a significant advantage over rigid hub puck discs that can be harsh and difficult to modulate on the street. Paired with the Competition Clutch performance pressure plate producing 1,900 lbs of clamp load, this kit delivers up to a 250% increase in torque capacity over the factory clutch, with an approximate rating of 400 ft-lbs at the wheels. This makes it suitable for heavily modified B-Series engines producing well beyond factory power levels.

The kit comes complete with the performance pressure plate, 6-puck sprung ceramic disc, release bearing, pilot bearing, and clutch alignment tool - everything needed for installation except the flywheel, which must be sourced separately (factory OEM or Competition Clutch aftermarket). A 300-mile break-in period is strongly recommended before aggressive driving to properly seat the ceramic pads against the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces. For owners seeking even more clamp force, Stages 2-5 are available with the optional Xtreme 2300 lb pressure plate by adding the "-X" suffix to the part number. Competition Clutch backs this kit with a 90-day warranty from the date of retail purchase through an authorized dealer.
