Exedy OE 2002-2005 Acura RSX L4 Clutch Kit - KHC09

The Exedy OE Clutch Kit (KHC09) is a factory-replacement clutch kit engineered specifically for the 2002–2005 Acura RSX Base and 2002–2005 Honda Civic Si. Designed to restore your drivetrain to like-new feel and engagement, this OE-quality kit from Exedy — one of the most trusted names in clutch manufacturing — gives you a direct, no-modification replacement for a worn-out clutch. Whether your RSX Base is slipping, chattering, or simply past its service life, the KHC09 is the go-to solution for a reliable, street-friendly clutch replacement.

Key Features & Benefits

• OEM Replacement Quality: Exedy's OE-grade clutch kits are built to match the quality and specifications found in original equipment clutches, so you get the same pedal feel and drivability you expect from the factory — without surprises during break-in.
• Organic Friction Material: The KHC09 uses an organic clutch disc, the same type used in OEM applications. Organic discs deliver smooth, progressive engagement that is ideal for daily driving — easy on the legs in stop-and-go traffic and forgiving for less experienced manual transmission drivers.
• 24-Spline Input Shaft Compatibility: This kit is correctly matched to the 24-spline input shaft found in the RSX Base transmission, ensuring proper fitment without machining or adapters.
• Complete Kit for a Clean Install: Rather than sourcing individual components separately, you get a matched clutch kit designed to work together, reducing the risk of mismatched parts and premature wear.
• Direct-Fit Replacement: No modifications needed. The KHC09 is a bolt-in replacement that fits within the factory clutch housing dimensions — important when you want the job done right the first time.
• Trusted Exedy Brand: Exedy is an OEM clutch supplier for multiple major automakers worldwide, meaning their replacement kits are built with the same manufacturing standards, not aftermarket shortcuts.

Fitment

The Exedy KHC09 clutch kit fits the following vehicles:

• 2002–2005 Acura RSX — Base trim
• 2002–2005 Honda Civic Si

Important fitment note: This kit is designed for the RSX Base model, which uses a different transmission input shaft spline count and clutch size than the RSX Type-S. The Type-S uses a separate Exedy kit (such as the KHC10). If you own a 2002–2006 Acura RSX Type-S, do not order the KHC09 — contact our fitment team to confirm the correct part for your application. The fitment data on file confirms coverage for both RSX Base and Civic Si variants from 2002–2005, but always verify your submodel before purchasing.
