Exedy 16-19 Honda Civic 1.5L Turbo / 17-19 Honda Civic Si 1.5L Turbo Stage 1 Organic Clutch

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 2016-2020 Honda Civic with the 1.5L Turbo engine, or the 2017-2019 Civic Si, this Exedy Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed to handle the demands of street driving and even light track use, especially when you've added a few modifications to your engine. It's a step up from the stock clutch, giving you a more confident connection to the drivetrain.

Exedy uses well-built organic friction materials in this Stage 1 clutch. These materials are chosen for their resistance to slipping, even under increased load, and they're also built to withstand higher rotational speeds without bursting. The kit also features increased clamp loads compared to a stock clutch. This means it can handle more torque, which is crucial if you've tuned your engine for more horsepower. The engagement is designed to be smooth enough for daily driving, but firm enough to feel the power transfer directly to the wheels.

When you're replacing a clutch, it's a good time to inspect other drivetrain components like the flywheel and rear main seal. This kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate, but you'll want to check if your flywheel needs resurfacing or replacement, and if new pilot bearings or alignment tools are necessary for your specific job. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the most accurate guidance on what else might be needed.
