Exedy Clutches

[GotsWapan]

Whats peoples experiences with them? I seem to be hearing a fair amount of negative feedback towards them slipping. Need a half decent clutch ASAP. Rang NPC and they quoted me around $1000 for a cushioned button rated to 400rwkw and a flywheel for another $400.

I didn't really want to spend anymore than around $600-$800 on a clutch to hold 300rwkw.

Thanks.

I toasted my Exedy clutch! (pics in build thread of you want lolz )

Drove a 34 with NPC cushioned button, heavier pedal that the Exedy and bites harder etc... Not bad!

Ask them for the 10" sprung button clutch and flywheel. Or if your being cheap, just get your flywheel shaved. $700 for the clutch.

Then go the cushioned button... Takes about 3 seconds to learn and is only $850 or something

I have that clutch and driveability is not a problem in my 99 problems

Isn't slipping really bad for them on the street?

Slipping any clutch is bad, it's easy to adapt your driving style and still enjoy it daily

[Hadouken]

yes, its not like you're going to ride it through traffic. Ive been driving it daily for the past 7 months, and coping with awd launches

It depends on what you were doing with the clutch, how much power you were making, how it was installed, whether the flywheel was machined correctly etc etc

Do clutches these days need to be bed in properly?

Getting all kinds of answers from friends, forums and mechanics alike.
