EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic – Thin Disc Clutch Kit – 2002–2006 Acura RSX / 2004–2008 Acura TSX / 2002–2008 Honda Civic

Rather than treating clutch selection as a universal fit, the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic – Thin Disc Clutch Kit – 2002–2006 Acura RSX / 2004–2008 Acura TSX / 2002–2008 Honda Civic is organized specifically for Thin Disc Clutch Kit – 2002–2006 Acura RSX / 2004–2008 Acura TSX / 2002–2008 Honda Civic, with configurations chosen around daily-driven and enthusiast street applications that need dependable engagement and OE-correct fitment.

EXEDY Heritage

EXEDY's history reaches back to 1923 in Japan, with decades of clutch development under the Daikin Clutch name. The company is both a major OEM powertrain supplier and a long-established performance-clutch manufacturer, with products engineered for everything from original-power street cars to dedicated motorsports use.

Why This Part Fits the Build

EXEDY's performance single- and multi-plate systems are intended to raise torque capacity and heat tolerance while matching the engagement characteristics to the car's intended use. Stage 1 uses an organic friction strategy for the most street-friendly behavior; Stage 2 moves to cerametallic friction for harder use; Hyper systems add dedicated flywheel and multi-plate architecture for substantially higher-output builds.

Choose the least aggressive configuration that comfortably covers the engine's torque and heat load. That approach normally gives the best balance of drivability, service life, transmission friendliness, and track durability.
