About how many miles are on your transmissions? My '92 with about 120k miles had a bad shudder when starting out in first (reverse was tolerable) when I installed a brand new SOS dual carbon clutch. I removed it and went with this Exedy dual clutch and replaced the main input shaft bearings (ISBs) at the same time. Apparently its a common Honda manual transmission issue. Now it's smooth as OEM.

I should have heeded the SOS install instructions when I did their dual carbon clutch and changed out the ISB's. It could have saved me three grand ($2k for clutch and figure another $1k in labor if you don't do it yourself).

If your transmission has more than let's say, 75k miles on it, I recommend changing out the ISB's on your next clutch change!

Oh - I do not have the OEM clutch dampener. Got rid of it about 10 years ago....
