Competition Clutch 94-01 Acura Integra 1.8L Stage 3 - Seg Ceramic Clutch Kit
The Competition Clutch 8026-0600 is a Stage 3 street/strip clutch kit for the 1994-2001 Acura Integra 1.8L, the third-generation car with the B18 engine and hydraulic clutch. It sits between a Stage 2 organic kit and the six-puck Stage 4 kits. Buyers usually land here when their Integra has intake, header, cams or a mild turbo, the factory or Stage 2 disc has started to slip in the upper gears, and they still want to drive the car on the street.
On a B-series Integra the pressure plate bolts to the flywheel and clamps one disc that drives the five-speed gearbox input shaft. The hydraulic slave cylinder pushes the release fork and throwout bearing into the diaphragm fingers when you press the pedal. Competition Clutch rates its Stage 3 street/strip kits at up to a 150 percent increase in torque capacity over stock. The disc uses segmented ceramic facings instead of a full organic face, and the maker's feature list for this part number describes a high-torque sprung disc. Ceramic holds more heat than organic before it glazes, which matters on a car that sees drag passes or track days. The trade-off is a quicker, less forgiving engagement than a Stage 2, so expect to work the clutch more carefully in traffic.
Check the hydraulics first. A soft pedal, low master cylinder reservoir or wet slave cylinder can stop the clutch from clamping or releasing fully, and a new disc will not fix that. Then road-test it: fourth gear from about 3,000 rpm to wide-open throttle. If engine speed runs ahead of road speed, the disc is slipping. Look at the bellhousing seam for oil too, because a leaking rear main or shift-shaft seal will contaminate any disc. Our clutch slipping guide walks through the road test, and oil on the clutch disc covers leaks that ruin new parts.
This listing covers the 1994-2001 Acura Integra 1.8L. Competition Clutch lists the 8026-0600 for the 1994-2001 Integra and also the 1994-1997 Honda Civic del Sol. Many B-series cars have been swapped or rebuilt with mixed USDM and JDM parts, so the engine and gearbox in your car may not be what left the factory. Match your current disc spline and pressure plate bolt pattern, or send us your year and VIN, and we will confirm before it ships. A 1992-1993 Integra needs the 8027 series and a 1990-1991 car needs the 8017 series. Competition Clutch also catalogs a second Stage 3 number, 8026-2600, for the same cars; if you are choosing between the two, ask us first. Browse every Integra clutch and flywheel in the rebuild kits and clutch category.
The kit contents listed for this part number are the performance pressure plate, the segmented ceramic disc, a throwout bearing, a pilot bearing or bushing and an alignment tool. A flywheel is not part of the listed contents, so plan to resurface or replace yours.
If you only need more grip than stock for a street car, the 8026-2100 Stage 2 kit is easier to drive. For more power than a Stage 3 can hold, step up to the 8026-1620 Stage 4 six-puck kit.

Competition Clutch lists it for 1994-2001 Integra models and the 1994-1997 Civic del Sol. Because many B-series cars have been swapped, match your current disc spline and pressure plate, or send us your year and VIN to confirm.
No. The listed contents are the pressure plate, segmented ceramic disc, throwout bearing, pilot bearing or bushing and an alignment tool. Resurface your flywheel or replace it.
Competition Clutch rates its Stage 3 street/strip kits at up to 150 percent more torque capacity than stock. The Stage 4 six-puck kits are rated higher, up to 250 percent.
Many owners do, but engagement is quicker than an organic disc and some chatter is possible. If the car is mostly a commuter, a Stage 2 kit is easier to live with.
Refill the gearbox with Honda MTF and bleed the clutch hydraulics with the brake fluid type printed on the reservoir cap.
Competition Clutch says to shift as often as possible for the first 500 miles so the disc material beds into the flywheel and pressure plate. Avoid launches until then.
