How do I know if my clutch is going out? And If my clutch is going out, what parts do I need to buy to change it? Can I buy a clutch kit? I have a 2003 Acura rsx type non-S.

hard to shift and slips and you replace all clutch parts and yes you can get it all most any parts store

Yes you can buy a clutch kit, go ahead and get a flywheel too so you can change it while youve got the trans out. Clutches are a pain to replace unless you have a lift and trans jack.

Normally before clutches go out, you'll see them start to slip. If you feel that your clutch is starting to slip, it may be time to replace it. You can do it yourself with parts from your local auto parts store, and unless you place to replace the flywheel with a lighter weight version, just have the friction surface refinished, there is no need to replace the flywheel itself.
