Where to even start here. I bought a 2020 si sedan from Brandon Honda out of Tampa and in the course of a month I've had to replace all 4 tires and was told I had to replace the clutch kit and flywheel with a quote of almost $4700! They seriously tried to say I busted a perfectly good clutch when I had my first problem a week in. Actually I posted a thread asking about it awhile back, twice it got jammed in neutral starting from a stop. The first few days in it might have been a little rough but I don't ride the clutch or drive aggressively. No racing or track either, just a casual long distance commuter.
So I started researching and wow there's lots of horror stories about the clutches in these cars. Theres even a service bulletin which I pointed out to the dealership and they don't care. Putting another stock clutch in is starting to sound like a bad idea. Is it gonna be the same poor quality? So I've started looking into third parties, specifically the OEM and ACT. But I've also read some of these kits can damage the car so I'm not sure what I should be looking for. I've heard retro fitted Type r ones work great but don't need something that powerful. Any suggestions? This whole experience has almost ruined this car for me.
