Excedy MBK-7277HD Clutch

Post by renzkuken1 »

Where would the best place to buy one of these bad boys be? I need it in a month but if i could order it now for a good price that would be great.
What places have you guys gone to in the past and recommend?

Hmm they don't come with the flywheel?
Penrith brake and clutch quoted me 394 without flywheel...440 with lol

You should be using the flywheel from the donor car. Just have it machined.

Are you doing the conversion yourself or getting a mechanic to take care of it?

I can possibly lend a hand depending on when you do it.

Could of tips:
* Grab a pair of the drive shaft seals for the new box.
* Replace the gearbox side, engine main seal while you are there.
* Replace the input shaft seal on the gearbox.
* Make sure you grease the shaft the clutch bearing slides on and the points on the clutch release fork.
* Get the clutch and flywheel balanced together (will reduce vibrations)

Removing / replacing the gearbox is a fair amount of effort and not something you will want to do again if you can avoid it. While the seals may not be leaking now, they are cheap enough to replace and saves you a lot of headache.
