wolfwood Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi guys was wondering if u can help me with this problem i have a 5 puck ceramic excedy brass button clutch.. its only 8 months old.. and now its slipping any idea... my car is only making 176 rwkws and the clutch is rated at 300 RWKWs.. the clutch relaese point is now about 3 mm from the top so i barely have to push the clutch in to dis-engage the clutch from the flywheel.. and when u engage the clutch again.. its like its not fully engaged back onto the flywheel.. is there a manual way to reset the clutch relase point ect.. like someone once told me you can adjust the throw out point from the clutch pedal up top.. any ideas... i cant book the car back in for 4 weeks at the place i got it.. and im just getting the shits.. spent almost 1k on a clutch and its rooted already.. i hardly even slip the clutch just take off liek your supposed to with a brass button.. Any help would be muchly appreciated Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/172041-excedy-5-puck-brass-button-slipping-only-after-7-months-of-use/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEF11E Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 you can adjust the clutch master feel at the top of the pedal there is a pin going thru the clutch pedal held in place with a split pin. remove the pin, and you can screw the saddle in tighter or looser depending on how u want the pedal... be warned the pin is an absolute bastard to get back in Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/172041-excedy-5-puck-brass-button-slipping-only-after-7-months-of-use/#findComment-3170254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead32 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 you dont need to remoove the pin to adjust it, just loosen the locking nut on the fork that goes over the pedal. p.s i wouldnt be playing with that stuff unless you know what your adjusting, it adjusts the freeplay. yours could be incorrect causing the pedal to be always engaugeing the clutch and therefore wore your clutch out prematurely.

Simon-S14 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 hey i have one of these exact same clutches and its less then 1500 kms old... took it out to mallala for drift prac and before i even got out to the track on my way to a mates workshop it just all of a sudden started to slip while IN gear... in 4th at 3000 rpm about 80kph i would give it some throttle and it would just start slipping!! gave it a bleed, didnt do much at all.. went out to the track and needless to say it was pretty useless.. im pretty disappointed with the clutch, considering i only JUST bought it. not even making much power either... about 170 rwkw Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/172041-excedy-5-puck-brass-button-slipping-only-after-7-months-of-use/#findComment-3197212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bl4cK32 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 nar. brassies ware out pretty quick. especally iff slipped yerp i had one in when i bought my car from the previous owner fitting it. I had to remove the driveline to fit my 3lt and while the clutch was out i replaced it. Simple fact is buttons suck for a daily driver, or carpark shopping. Anyone who uses em on the street will make em slip soon. This is like the 10th person ive heard recently complain. I also noticed they burn out the std flywheel as well which is a bitch, but lucky i bought a os twin to replace it with (flywheel incl.) The pedal feel is back close to stock, it doesnt slip or shudder from carparks, and will handle anything i throw at it.

1400r Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 exedy copy clutch was what I heard it was Simon that true? didnt even know you could get copy clutches Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/172041-excedy-5-puck-brass-button-slipping-only-after-7-months-of-use/#findComment-3203714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattymagoo22 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 totally agree that brass clutches are not for the street. They not only wear out the disc but due the the metal in it, the flywheel and also the pressure plate. If it started to slip so soon it could be a hydraulic problem pedal may be still engaging even though its all the way out. On the track though they can hold a lot more than an organic disc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/172041-excedy-5-puck-brass-button-slipping-only-after-7-months-of-use/#findComment-3212019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon-S14 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 exedy copy clutch was what I heard it was Simon that true? didnt even know you could get copy clutches its not a copy, but rather an exedy disk and seco pressure plate....seco being owned by exedy, so technically its all the same.
