New Clutch Suggestion

Post by mxysxy »

I am looking for getting a new clutch and flywheel,
For clutch I have always heard about Exedy brand and will be great if you guys would please share your experience

I was looking at getting sports organic clutch, but Exedy doesn’t seem to have one for FTO.
Here is the pricing I got,
Standard Clutch Kit - $350
Heavy Duty Clutch Kit - $495

Whats the difference of Heavy duty over standard, except I guess it last longer under more power/
Is it hard on the foot or same feeling?
Also suggest for organic please.

What other brands/models would you suggest?

The main difference is in the pressure plate. The heavy duty plate springs are rated at 750kg clamping pressure as opposed to the standard being 400kg.

I run the excedy heavy & its been very good. Little to no difference in pedal feel, but copes with the extra power well. Its never slipped....

Thats not too bad... I think mine was a bit cheaper, but all up for install as well, I paid about $700 from memory.
