hey i was wondering if id be able to trust ordering an exedy clutch off ebay. they have some for a turbo between 150-250. the seller had a perfect record you think i can trust getting a quality product or is it just some p.o.s.

 

im wondering the same thing. only thing i need 1 for an na s5

 

I bought one for my na s5. The clutches are ok, but I wouldn't trust the pressure plates, the one I had broke 2 fingers off it within the first 1k miles.

 

The ebay excedy clutches are a good buy i have on my n/a s4 and I am really ruff on it it hasnt given me any problems yet but because i drift it can be brutal to clutches and so far its doing great had it since may 07.

p.s dont get mazda clutches from the stealership it was gone in two days of drifting so i got my money back and bought me the ebay excedy

 

Mazda OEM is Exedy, so they should be fine.

Just stay away from XTD and F1 clutches.

 

i dont know personally, but i have a friend with a 650rwhp bridgeport turbo 1st gen with a XTD clutch, and he said it works great.

 

Search for XTD, there are numerous problems. Even if you get a 'good' one they don't last long.

 

my buddy arthur has been rocking a f1 clutch for a while and it's held up two years worth of drift events, probably about 10-15 events per season.

as for exedy ebay, i personally ran an exedy oem replacement clutch kit off ebay on my 240sx for about 3 years with no problems.

 

got one on my s5 motor, still after some 5k miles it feels exactly like stock. all the parts look good, but they did sent the wrong pilot bearing though...

 

Uh... Exedy makes the OEM clutch...

Yes, Yes , i too have been searching for a clutch for my s/4 T2. But i dont wanna stock one. Dont do any drifting just my weekend car, and i hate how soft the clutch pedal is.

 

I was "told" that the exedy kits on ebay are throw backs.. they are good to use but they are of a lower quality thus why they get them so cheap and can sell them for so cheap...

I love the ACT or SPEC clutches or an Exedy kit (direct from Exedy)

 

Have you tried replacing your clutch line and bleeding your clutch system? If you have, you may want to look into getting a clutch with a heavier duty pressure plate, Like the ACT HD series of clutch kits. I noticed a significant (read, good)increase in pedal effort. They are pricey but seem to last forever (I have had the same one on two different engines)!

 

XTD are junk, i toasted their stage 2 clutch at stock n/a power levels with just spirited daily driving, i since rplaced it with an f1 spec clutch, and HUGE difference its got a nice stiff PP and smooth engnement, holds great however, for the TII i'm building, ACT is what i have ready to go in

 

thanks for the input, one last question am i better of going with oe exedy or like a stage 2 f1

 

Stock Car, Stock Clutch. Unless you planning on making some power mods down the road don't get any more clutch then you need.

 

i bought the exedy OEM clutch with the fidanza flywheel 8lb flywheel for $289 shipped. i have them right now BNIB and if you guys want any pics let me know. im going to install them tuesday.

 

i had the exedy oem replacement off of ebay in my car for about a year. it seemed fine, worked okay and everything. just wanted to upgrade to something that i knew could hold more power (spec stage 2+, love it!)
