I'd prefer to use high temperature lithium grease. High temperature so that it doesn't become runny when the engine/gearbox is hot, and lithium because the thin layer doesn't break when put under pressure.Quote:

get a clutch kit ($400 sports organic comes with bearings and spogit bearing) it will have nearly all the components, get the rear main seal ($55), OEM honda MTF oil ($15x 3), Machine the flywheel if need to (If it has burn marks and not smooth) ($70 apparently Honda flywheels are harder beacuse of the studs on it).
Cost of labour $350
Just got mine done about 1 mth ago
Limbo, I'm getting new Exedy Sports Organic clutch + Toda flywheel any day now. My clutch at the moment has the annoying (and bad) squeaking noise when I press it in. How do I get this all fixed properly? Just taking it to a mechanic to get installed, is that enough?
Or do I need to tell them to grease up everything as per Kyle's post?
usually the squeaking noise is from the thrust bearing getting old. So long as the mechanic knows what they are doing they should be doing the right thing with the clutch. Just make sure you take it to a reputable mechanic
A mechanic would automaticly grease up them parts, it's just apart of the procedure not some secret special technique or anything.
Hey. im getting my clutch tomorro and have got the old one out already. how do i get the thrust/throwout bearing out? i think thats what it is, the one that moves off the input shaft when the clutch is engaged. do i need to grease it up to, if so, what part of it?
