Got my clutch fitted today

The mechanic put the fear of all hell into me...saying to drive like a granny for 1000km's...no down gearing, no slipping nothing...otherwise ill be back in here in 2 weeks fitting another one in!

i was like wtf...drive like granny for 1000kms?

so my question is...is the above bs?!?!? should i drive like a granny for 1000km's?

I was crawling around the roads tryin not to slip it or downgear, he said i cant rev over 3000rpm rofl...he gave me a 1 year warrantee on this clutch..is he just scared for his own sake?

For real?

He said it needs to wear in for 1000km's rofl...its just a exedy heavy duty clutch with organic plate.

are you running the same clutch? i really cbf driving like i was before for 1000km's...its a joke...ud think theyd make the clutches heavy duty so u can drive em normally from the very start

1000km's is a bit excessive...

Previously in other cars i have had the same clutch. All you need to do is drive without dumping the clutch, riding it, or downshifting from huge revs (downshifting from about 3,000 should be the highest that you should)

this will let the clutch and pressure plate bed in and not cause uneven wear on the flywheel as well.

i will be running my new clutch (also a Daiken HD) for 1,000 but that is only cause I am running the engine in at the same time and as such cannot go past 3,000rpm...

We purchased the clutch and fitted it our selves, Extra heavy duty, paddle clutch, With standard Fly Wheel.

And after installing it we were full noise testing it out. With 4000rpm launches.

Worked well and haven’t had any problems with slipping, and that was 1 year ago.

I think the only reason why he wants you to baby it, is if it fails, he can say it came under the warranty guide lines of installation eg, 1000km of running it in.

True mate true..thats what i think..he just wants me to baby it so a warranty claim wont be made

Ill still baby it to around 500kms then hammer the living **** out of it lol

Itd be great help if any fellow owners of the exedy heavy duty clutch can reply to this thread and help me out

just bought an exedy button clutch for my r32 GTR but yet to install it. I bought the clutch straight from exedy in Sydney which is at eastern creek. I have a family friend that works there and has been in the clutch business for many years. His advice to me was to go easy on the clutch for about 500km's otherwise it will glaze up and need to come out again.

This though I believe only applies to button clutches and not full face clutch's which in my opinion should be pretty rite from the get go , wouldn't hurt to go easy on it though for a couple of hundred km's I guess. I know I'll be going easy on mine for awhile just to be on the safe side.

It is NOT the type of clutch that matters, but the materials used.

Would you install brake pads and not bed them in (unless like the EBC they come pre-bedded)...cause they are organic and glaze up.

Same with an organic clutch which is what the Exedy HD is...

Composite clutches will also have a similar problem, Brass button clutches are about the only ones you should bed in for a short period.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The easiest way would to be ignore the oscilloscope, grab a multimeter, and make sure all the main connections are right. An oscilloscope will give 99.9% of even technicians so much grief, as they have no idea what things should even look like on an oscilloscope. Which is also even more likely for someone who's first ever major work on a car is this If the battery volts are dropping down so low, the LDV will reboot the ECU, when it does so, it will drop out the start circuit. If this is occuring, the battery voltage should also come back up. Give it a few tests, even simple ones like when you're attempting to crank it, measure voltage from the engine block, to the negative terminal. You might find you've got really bad connections somewhere. My guess is the "new" motor has something like a shit starter motor, at which point, you can swap the starter motor from the old motor, to the new motor. Before I did any of the above though, I'd 100% confirm the battery in the vehicle. Most jumper packs are absolutely useless, especially if a battery has a bad cell for example. Also the new modern "jump packs" if you don't know what you're doing with them, you won't even get them into high current stage. So go back to basics, check the battery, especially with a known good one as a replacement test. Check ALL the wiring, this includes where they're bolted onto the battery, and bolted onto the starter motor. Check all the earth straps are on. Measure your resistances across your earth straps. A good check here is to measure voltage across the earth straps while you're trying to crank it. If you're seeing voltage, you've got high resistance joints! Oh, and once you've done the above, check the battery over again.

      For most rotisseries, as Duncan has mentioned, you really don't want a full car on it, you want a stripped shell. And imagine how many more weeks THAT is going to add to working on the car...
