Most of the time when people put in stage 3, six puck clutches its usually a over kill.
Like those stock hondas with a six puck clutch, kinda useless if you ask me.
Is the motor stock? What type of motor?

I had a stock KA and replaced the clutch with a OEM exedy clutch and drifted the piss out of it for about 20,000 miles.
Then sold the motor and the guy kept using the same clutch and works fine, no slipping.

So no a stage 1 or 2 will not go out sir.

Yeah. the organic exedy clutch is really cheap. I just found out I had one on my ka. The pedal feel is a lot more aggressive than stock but not over kill. Really sporty actually. Perfect for the very little power a stock/mildly modded ka puts down.

Ok so i got the stage 3 and when we were putting it in we realized the throwout bearing they gave me was a little bigger. Now when my car is in neutral or any gear i whines realy bad (but not after you drive it about 5 miles). We adjusted the clutch put a new mastercylinder in and its still doing it. So one of my friends came over last night and said its probly the throwout bearing that came with it. If anyone knows what this is Please let me know i feel like an idiot when i leave work cause everyone stares.
