Action Clutch Stage 1 Clutch Kit for 17+ Civic Si/Integra 1.5T

Action Clutch Stage 1 Clutch Kit - 2017+ Civic Si / 2023+ Integra 1.5T

Your stock 1.5T clutch slipping after you added a tune and bolt-ons? The Action Clutch Stage 1 kit is a direct replacement for your factory clutch with about 70% more holding power. It's designed for stock 1.5T or 1.5T with bolt-ons like intake, downpipe, intercooler, and a tune. The clutch uses a copper-infused Kevlar organic friction disc instead of plain organic material. It grabs harder than your stock clutch and it handles the big mid-range torque spike from a tuned 1.5T way better than the factory clutch. The pedal feel is close to stock, way lighter and smoother than Stage 2, 3, or 4 clutches. If you're running bolt-ons and a tune on the stock turbo and your stock clutch is slipping, this is what you need.

Here's Why Your Stock 1.5T Clutch Is Slipping

The stock 1.5T clutch is weak. Honda made it smooth and easy for daily driving, but it can't handle the torque spike you get when you add a tune. Tuned 1.5Ts make a big mid-range torque spike that the stock clutch can't clamp down on. Your RPMs flare when you're accelerating hard in 3rd or 4th gear and the clutch slips. The Action Stage 1 clutch uses a copper Kevlar organic friction disc instead of plain organic material. The copper helps dissipate heat better and the Kevlar adds strength. The clutch grabs harder than stock and it doesn't slip when you hit that mid-range torque spike. You're getting enough holding power for bolt-ons and a tune without jumping to a harsh Stage 3 ceramic clutch.

Stock Pedal Feel, Smooth Engagement

The Stage 1 feels almost like your factory clutch. The pedal's slightly heavier but not by much. The engagement is smooth and progressive - it doesn't grab suddenly like ceramic clutches do. There's no chatter when you're taking off from a stop. If you want a clutch that holds more power but still feels normal in stop-and-go traffic, this is what you get. If you want way more holding power for a big turbo or drag racing, you need Stage 2 or higher.

Who Should Buy This Clutch

This clutch is for stock turbo 1.5T with bolt-ons and a tune. If you're running intake, downpipe, intercooler, and a tune making 220-250whp, this clutch will hold. If you're planning a bigger turbo, you're doing drag launches, or you're running sticky tires and doing hard clutch dumps, this clutch isn't strong enough. You need Stage 2 or Stage 3. This is a bolt-on clutch for street cars that see occasional spirited driving. It's not a race clutch.

Break It In or You'll Glaze the Disc

You need to break this clutch in properly. Do 500 miles of normal street driving with no hard launches, no clutch kicks, and no full-throttle pulls. If you don't break it in properly, the organic material will glaze and the clutch won't grab like it's supposed to. A glazed clutch slips and it won't hold the power it's rated for. Follow the break-in procedure or you'll void your warranty and the clutch won't work right.
