I did a search and only came up with one thing about the exedy clutches (Sponsor sale special). So, has anyone used either of these clutches and what is the opinion of both/either. Thanks, Darrell

 

anyone??

 

Exedy twins are supposed to be BADASS, very few people get them because of their price though. If you ahve the money go for it. Several of the corvetter guys have them.

I love my Exedy Twin. It's a bit pricey, but it has outlasted every other clutch I've had. It's also those most drivable around town and uses stock hydaulics.

If you want to know more about the Exedy try corvetteforum.com

 

Thanks guys..

 

I have been running the exedy dual disk in my 2001 coupe for about two months. Holds the power and is a very smooth shifting clutch. Only time will tell if it will hold up over time. For the price it better.

 

i have heard of a couple reports of the exedy lasting less than a week after a handful of 6000rpm drops

 

your the first person to say such a thing kumar

Dumb question is that a Vette only clutch or can it work with the F and Y body

 

Clutches are interchangable between cars.

I have the Exedy single disc, it's the best clutch I've tried so far.

This is for the guys saying that they have had a good experience with this clutch. Can you please tell me what type of abuse have you put the clutch under. I'm in the market for a new setup and would like to know if it will handle high rpm launches.

About 10 6800 clutch dumps on ET Streets and several road coarse and auto-x events. I haven't had any issues other than it squeeking for the first 200 miles, as it was bedding in.

 

Ive heard only good things about the Exedy.

IMO most clutch failures are either by choosing one not suitable for what you are using it for, or bad fitting ( although in most cases fitting should be very straightforward ), or most likely cause, bad driving.

Clutches, while they do offer some slip, are not supposed to be slipped. If you slip them either by accident, or deliberately, they will wear out very quickly. If you really slip it bad on a hard launch, then you should expect it to fry. If it starts slipping when driving for any reason, dont continue driving with it like that. the more you slip it, the quicker you will destroy it.

 

What sponsors sell them...... Im wondering the price???

Give the SPEC stage 5 a try. Its by far the most streetable clutch I have used. Mine has held about 15 launches at 5000 or more RPM spraying the 200 shot right out of the hole. Cut several low 1.4 sixty foots and had one that was even better when I dumped at 5800 rpm and sprayed immediately. The car pulled the wheels a bit, started going left, my hand came off the shifter, my foot came off the gas and I coasted past the 60 foot marker for a 1.44 sixty foot. Two weeks later I pulled the motor to refresh it. Clutch looks barely worn in. My new setup is almost complete and Im looking forward to testing the 1000+ ft/lb claim for the SPEC 5.

And when I say its streetable...I mean it feels like the stocker. You can leave a light at 1200 rpm with no chatter or rattle. Its more streetable than any SPEC 3 or RAM setup I have had.

 

With my new Turbo setup we are shooting for 800rwhp on a Mustang dyno so i am needing a clutch that will hold ALOT of power..... I am looking at the SPEC stage 4i...... do they do a (i) in a stage 5?? Wow your saying the stage 5 is streetable sounds good..... by why do most sponsors say (not recommended for street use due to their aggressive nature)???? Whats the HP rating of the the stage 4i?? Thanks

We have a Exedy twin disc on a Z06 here making around 700 rwhp his clutch has held up so far to pretty spirited driving but no racing yet since its too cold. But Exedy clutches are expensive but they are by far the best clutches we have used for high horsepower cars.
