Theres a nice list in a thread here. Keep searching.

Try searching for A.T.S. or ATS - they make a kick-*** multi-plate system That was mentioned in that thread.

SPEC makes a clutch for the CA specifically. I've got one and it's OK. The spot where the pedal engages is weird. I've tried adjusting it, but it's just weird. Next time I plan on using a KA clutch and removing one of the alignment pins from my flywheel.

Sorry to thread-jack but what do you guys think about a clutch company called xtd? They're sold on ebay for the ka.

Yea, I had a spec Stage 3, really didn't like that clutch at all. gonna go with a KA clutch next engine, probably an ACT, have heard alot more positive things about those.

Why don't go for cuzan0's one? Why KA clutch would be better?

So does the KA pressure plate bolt onto the CA18 motor just fine than?

Does anyone think I could just re-use my ACT pressure plate thats been on my KA for a while and get another disc?

Yes, but you have to pull the alignment pins out of your CA flywheel. Not a big deal. As for reusing the plate... I'm not really qualified to say, so I won't.

sorry to be another person that jacked this thread but just a quick question. KA24E's transmission is the same as KA24DE's right? I plan to use an ACT clutch with a Fizdana flywheel, both for are for KA24DE but I have KA24E. I know you have to pull one alignment pin out to make it fit.

I'm sure you guys figured this out, but reading the "original" thread that mentioned ACT, I talked to an ACT rep that was in the area for a car show and asked him if he could get me a CA18DET clutch, and he said they do not carry any CA18 parts. He said "we do carry the sr20det parts though" and I said that they didn't fit without swapping flywheels, and he wrote it in a notebook or something. *shrugs*

btw kaDE/E trans are mechanically pretty much identical, only differences are sensorwise. Clutch kits from one should fit the other.
