I definitely glazed the clutch disc. I was practicing launching for about 20 minutes one day and after that it just gave out. I have a friend to do the labor for me. I looked for the cheapest oem parts and found that the total would be $650+shipping, vs. $1000 for the aftermarket setup. where do I find oem parts for $400? I'm thinking I'll just remove all the clutch parts and take them to Honda for inspection and resurfacing, then they can tell me what needs to be replaced.

I dont know about $400 bucks but I have been ordering parts from www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and have been satisfied with the prices when compared to what my local dealer charges.

It feels like your rpms shoot up and you don't go anywhere.

I just bought some clutch parts from hardtopguy.com. Outstanding service and damned good prices to boot. That's a tough combination to beat.

As long as the tranny is dropped, I'd do this http://www.hardtopguy.com/store/product.ph...&cat=145&page=1
