Exeddy Twin

[tricstar]

I've got an exeddy twin plate in R33 GTR only about 6 months ago but after a fair few launchs and hard driving am worried its on its way out..It doesn't have the initial slip it did have, not as driver friendly.

have been told they aren't any cheaper to rebuild than buying a new one at $2500+ install

does anyone know if this is right ??????????

I destroyed exactly the same clutch after running the Dutton Rally last year. If yours feels like its starting to slip then almost certainly it is.

Good news is that Jim Berry did a rebuild on mine and has layed down the challenge to me that I'm unlikely to "destroy" this one. Tuff words for me but so far it's copped a LOT of abuse.

Total cost is less than half a new one. Give him a call and discuss the job that he did on mine (Gav from WA).

unless it's actually slipping/free revving why replace it?

fwiw I rebuilt my OS Giken twin (TR2CD model), cost me ~$900 all up, greenline.jp supplied the rebuild kit ~$800 and machining the flywheel was ~$75

cheers Gav thats better news than I had. I was told the exeddy twin plate was surposed to be a decent clutch . this guy Jim Berry keeps being mentioned, sounds like he's the man when it comes to clutchs.

by the way nice figures Gav At the moment I have 400hp atw but have complete N1 engine and turbos going in, in about a month, engine on its way from japan, will sort clutch then.

Ric .perth also..see you at barbagallos in couple of months when engine is run in..

I just got my HKS twin rebuilt... thinking, oh yeah... maybe about half of what the clutch costs new...

$1600 rebuild cost and then a days labour and testing! Damn!

A little too pricey, do you think...?

Jim Berry sounds like the go from what Gav and others say
