Competition Clutch 1994-2001 Acura Integra Stage 5 - 4 Pad Ceramic Clutch Kit
A boosted or built B-series Integra will chew through a street clutch quickly, and once a Stage 2 or Stage 3 disc starts slipping on the dyno or at the strip, the next step is a puck disc. The Competition Clutch 8026-1420 Stage 5 kit is made for the 1994-2001 Acura Integra and the 1994-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, and it is aimed squarely at high-horsepower drag and track cars, not daily commuters.
The third-generation Integra uses a hydraulic clutch: the slave cylinder pushes the release fork, the throwout bearing presses the pressure plate fingers, and the plate clamps the disc against the flywheel. On a turbo or high-compression B18 the limit is how much clamp and friction the disc can hold before it slips.
This kit pairs a Competition Clutch performance pressure plate with a four-puck sprung disc with ceramic buttons on a six-spring steel riveted hub. The maker rates it at up to 300% torque capacity over stock, the highest of its single-disc Integra kits. The sprung hub softens driveline shock a little, but four ceramic pucks still grab hard. Expect an on-off engagement and some chatter when pulling away slowly.
Verify the slip is real: a datalog showing rpm rising faster than vehicle speed under load is the cleanest proof. Rule out a hydraulic problem first; air in the slave or a failing master gives a soft, drifting pedal that feels like a worn clutch. See our slipping diagnosis guide for the basics. If the car is mostly a street car, read organic vs. ceramic clutch discs before committing to pucks.
Listed for the 1994-2001 Acura Integra and the 1994-1997 Honda Civic del Sol That covers the factory B18 engines in the Integra (LS, RS, GS, GS-R and Type R trims). The del Sol was sold with more than one engine and transmission, so del Sol owners should confirm their setup with us. Cars with a swapped transmission, a cable-clutch conversion, or a non-stock flywheel need checking first. Not sure? Send the year, trim and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. Browse more options in our rebuild kits and clutches category.
If 300% is more than your build needs, the Stage 4 6-pad kit 8026-1620 spreads the load across more pucks for slightly smoother engagement. For very high power, the 184 mm twin-disc B-series kit is the step past a single disc.

It can be driven on the street, but it is built for high-horsepower drag and track use. Four ceramic pucks engage abruptly and can chatter in traffic. Most street cars are happier with a full-face or 6-puck kit.
The maker lists the 1994-2001 Acura Integra and 1994-1997 Honda Civic del Sol. Swapped or converted cars need a fitment check, so send your year and VIN.
No. You get the pressure plate, four-puck sprung ceramic disc, throwout bearing, pilot bushing and alignment tool. Resurface your flywheel or buy a steel replacement.
Competition Clutch rates the Stage 5 at up to a 300% increase in torque capacity over stock. Actual holding depends on the flywheel surface, break-in and how the car is launched.
The Stage 4 uses six ceramic pads and is rated up to 250% over stock; the Stage 5 uses four pucks rated up to 300%. Fewer pucks means more holding per pad and harsher engagement.
Shift as often as possible during the first 500 miles and avoid launches, so the ceramic material beds into the flywheel and pressure plate.
