The KA clutches work, you have to drill out one of the alignment pins on the flywheel. SPEC makes CA18DET clutches also.

Well, you can drill a hole in the pressure plate. But most people cut the pin on the flywheel off with a dremel tool or something similar. Then the pressure plate bolts right on. Its a lot easier and faster.
