[MY07] Accord Euro MY07 2008 Manual - Clutch slipping already! - help

[ChaosMaster]

Thanks heaps mate.

I heard that Gripforce us on eBay is a great place to get the oem exedy clutch from.
But I'm still confused as the exedy clutch finder website recommends i use HCK-7506.

When I look on eBay USA they are selling a 2003-2007 accord 2.4l DOHC 4 cyd K24A oem exedy clutch but it's model number HCK-1005.

Is this because of the difference between exedy us and exedy australia?
Will that us one work on my Aussie accord euro? Because the engine specs look the same, but I am very worried that it says "5speed" when mine is a 6speed manual. I would think the clutch would still work with a six speed? Is that right because I thought only the gearbox and not the clutch would be different between a 5speed and 6speed.

Any help would be great, thanks guys!!

I would be safe and go with what Exedy Aus is specifying. As you mentioned, the US had a different transmission, which means possibly a different size transmission housing. Normally, the number of gears don't matter, but the size does. E.g. K20 engines are meant to be only different in stroke and head, but their not. Even the clutch is different diameter.

Thanks mate. I do have 4 brand new Bridgestone adrenalin potenza re002 tires which are high rated I believe, but that is all so not worth the performance clutch then.

Also how much do you think I should need to pay for the labor on average not inc the parts?

If stickier tyres is all you got then OEM is fine. As I said, only if you had done all those engine mods + the tyres and a lot of race starts, then I would grab the performance clutch, otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

I'm not sure about the labor charge. Last time I changed a clutch, I paid $100 for labor, however I'm friends with the mechanic (when I said friends, we're actual friends and not the type people usually talk about just knowing). I also helped out with the change over. I'm guessing labor alone should be ~$300-$500 depending on the amount of time needed. Very rough estimate though.
