Upgrade the clutch system in your 1997-2000 Acura EL 1.6L SOHC D16 with the Action Clutch ACR-2862 Stage 1 Clutch Kit. Designed for stock vehicles and basic bolt-on applications, this 1OS kit delivers approximately 70% more holding capacity than the factory clutch while maintaining smooth, predictable engagement. It is a practical choice for heavy-duty street driving and mild track use where dependable power transfer and OEM-like pedal feel are important.
The Action Clutch Stage 1 kit uses reinforced steel-backed Copper Kevlar organic friction material paired with a single-diaphragm, heavy-duty pressure plate.

 This combination is engineered to provide reliable clamping force, consistent engagement, and improved durability during demanding driving conditions. The organic friction design supports comfortable street manners, making this clutch suitable for daily-driven Acura EL applications that need additional performance without the harsh engagement commonly associated with more aggressive clutch compounds.

Safety and quality control are integral to the Action Clutch design. The kit features patented, fully enclosed spring retainers that help keep the clutch springs secured and protect against spring-related damage to the engine or transmission. Each finished clutch kit is inspected and approved by an experienced Action Clutch engineer before release, helping provide consistent performance and dependable operation. The Action Clutch ACR-2862 is intended for the 1997-2000 Acura EL equipped with the 1.6L SOHC D16 engine and is supplied as one complete Stage 1 clutch kit.
