Ok, since i know the guy from Acura, he told me to pick out an aftermarket clutch i felt comforatble with and buy it offline and just have the mech's there put it on, so ill leave it there, but i just need to find a good clutch, not to expensive, but then agian not crap, i do not want to go through this agian, only 50k miles like i said i have another like 400k till it dies

ACT HDSS, RAM Stg 2 are both good choices HDSS will give you a little softer feel than the RAM... but how much are u planning on spending?

I am also in search of a new clutch.This will be the first time that I replace it on my '95 GSR. I know ACT is great, but I found the Exedy for about $150 less. Does anyone have any experience with EXEDY Stage 1 clutch kit?

Well, I went with the exedy stage 1 clutch due to the positive reviews and cheaper price. I bought it at a local shop for $250. I found it for $300 on ebay. I'll install this weekend.

Got my car back today, and Acura treated me wonderful, they even cheapened labor, i ended up buying ACT HDSS clutch system and a 12lbs ACT street flywheel, and its nice, its wayyyyy wayyyy different than my 8lbs racing flywheel, but im more daily driver now anyway
