Well let's see,[/align][/align]A 2007 Honda Civic puts out a whopping 134 ft.lbs. of torque to the rear wheels, and a bone stock new-edge GT churns up some 100 to 110 ft.lbs. (244 to 254) more than that--so why do you suppose the clutch is stiffer?[/align][/align][/align]

But he's right, the larger engine and higher torque rating does have somthing to do with it, as well as the Civic employing a hydraulic clutch. And definitely go for the MGW.

Actually, it puts out a whopping 134 ft.lbs. of torque to the front wheels.

MGW sounds like the concensus. I'll put in an order for one. The stock shifter is just ridiculous. Clutch grabs wonderfully so I'll just quick my complaining. Thanks for the advice.
