stiff clutch
i just got a 91 civic hatch DX about a week ago.. the guy i bought it from, which was a guy i went to highschool with, put a stage 3 racing clutch in it.. im not sure what brand.. but the clutch is stiff as shit.. my left leg has gotten a hell of a workout in the last week.. now take into consideration that this is the first car ive owned with a manual tranny.. every manual car that i have driven had a clutch that was very easy to push to the floor.. the one in my civic is real hard to push.. to me its alot more difficult to get moving from a stop with the cluch thats in it now.. i want a clutch that will be similar to a stock clutch.. meaning i want it to be easier to push the pedal..what do you reccomend?
go easy on me.. im a newbie

Re: stiff clutch
something with not so hard of a pressure plate and not so aggresive of a disk.
go with an oem. or learn to drive it with the clutch.
i had mike put a 6puck and 10lb flywheel in mine and the pedal had minimal diff in feeling.

the only OEM clutch kits i found on ebay were for 92-95 civics and del sols.. and a few for 88-89 civics and crx's.. would any of those fit my car? would any integra clutch fit it? im new to all this

Re: stiff clutch
yea, buy a clutch that says it will fit your car. if you want an aftermarket clutch that feels like stock, get a centerforce fuel friction. it grabs a lot better too.
if you have a relatively stock car then get an oem one.
