OE Exedy clutch (searched)
 
Hey dudeskis I am a shitty mechanic and accidentally got grease on my clutch disc while re-packing my pilot bearing (probably should have replaced it)
So now needless to say my clutch is toast (that with a combination of other things), and I need a new one.

I currently have an ACT 4 puck sprung with a RB heavy duty pressure plate, and I think I nom'd the pressure plate / flywheel driving it in traffic and slipping it alot.
I am just considering going back to an OE style disc, because my car is NOT a race car and that beastly ass clutch is unnecessary (even though I loved it)

I will say however, that I am a "spirited" driver and I need a clutch that will hold up to that. (not slip) and I was wondering if the Oe clutch kit from Mazdatrix would be up to the task, or if I should go with something a bit more heavy duty.

My car is bone stock engine wise, with the exception of a header.

SHORT FORM
My clutch blew up I need one that doesn't suck.
will the OE exedy one do?


Thanks a bunch!

Why don't you just replace the clutch disk with an OEM type and use the HD pressure plate you have?


Give it a try, the disk would only be $35-40

I would totally do that, but mazdatrix sells the whole kit and caboodle for like 174, and I assume that my pressure plate is done for based on the amount of slippage :(

I should mention that the car is my DD and I have been driving it with the janky clutch like 60+ miles a night

For what you have, the Exedy clutch kit will do great. If you're worried you could pay a little more and get an exedy stage 2 clutch for it which is still streetable, but with a little more bite to it. But I ran an OE exedy in a turbo car I had that was probably hitting around 250hp and it took that engine's beating just fine.

Short version:
You'll be just fine with an OE exedy kit.
