I have the revised clutch and will be installing this weekend and will need to break it in before testing the lockout issue. I will install it with the stock slave and line first and see how she does. I want to be able to give feedback with no other variables. I will be running the aluminum flywheel not the steel.
I look forward to your review!

I have the new revised spec stage 3 clutch installed took a day and a half due to a few unexpected issues but it's done. I have the aluminum flywheel and have 0 chatter. Love the pedal only slightly firmer than stock I would say type R feeling.

PS: keeping everything stock like clutch line, clutch master cylinder etc. for testing! Once broken in I will test the lockout issue with the new revision

Got my clutch installed yesterday. Unlike @AREA , I have the Steel SMF and I did the CDV delete. Other than that, we're similar. Stock clutch line, CMC, etc.

First impressions; Clutch Pedal is super stiff but super grabby. Also, the speed in which the revs drop is amazing! The CDV delete hasn't given me any issues and reminds me of my Integra. It's not violent in the least bit. I should have it broken in by the end of the week as I average 68 miles per day round-trip from work. :beer:

My only real complaint is; Spec Included the WRONG alignment tool for the kit. Luckily my shop had a box of them and was able to locate the correct one.

You guys with the lock out issue should consider the modified CTR CMC that Eman sells. Saw an Si owner on Facebook share his review that it resolved him getting locked out on quick shifting. Ordered one the next day from Eman, currently waiting for it to arrive so I can install and test it out for myself. (Running a FX350 myself on stock flywheel)

I bought a spare si CMC that’s in my living room. I need to take out the delay valve and install it. I spend about 5 minutes a day trying to take out the C- clip. It’s like my daily devotional.

Currently waiting to see how it is once the clutch is broken in to determine if I need it. I believe I have the revised version, so I may not need to.

You might be talking about the Slave, that is what has the delay valve that everyone commonly removes. I've seen a few arguments about how it is not recommended, so I have chosen to not do that. Emans CMC is bored out to flow better and is modified which is what he recommends. I figure if he set a record with his delay valve still in the slave, I will keep mine and try out his solution before deciding to remove it.

Yeah sorry I meant the slave master cylinder. Do you have a link to this ?

Na I follow him on instagram,(k20z3allmotor) and of course I see his posts on the 10th gen and 10th gen Si group. He has been a pretty trusted Honda guy for a while, building and helping people with the 8th and 9th gens. I think he stated removing the delay valve is harmful to the transmission, he even used someones clutch swap to show how it had affected the trans. Might be worth checking out the CMC before going all out with the slave, I'd say its particularly more important for people running the stock DMF, because aggressive clutches on the stock DMF have a lot of chatter and aggressive engagement.
