Just installed clutch
I just installed an exedy twin plate cerametallic clutch on my car after driving on a slipping clutch for quite some time and....WOW. I'm completely satisfied with the way the clutch is grabbing...AMAZING. I like the way the clutch pedal feels, it is slightly firmer then stock, but in a good way. Nothing else really to say but I love the clutch so far (still breaking it in). I'd like to thank the forum members for all the advice that I recieved.

i am in need of a new clutch in the near future here...still running the stock at 53k miles with limited slip!! they usually only last to 40k-45k miles. yes, i know, i'm amazing
anyways i was also looking at the exedy twin plate but the act stage 2 clutch is also very nice i'm hearing... how does it catch? i'm not real big on the quick catching race clutches. being a weekend driver/racer i would like something on the performance end, but that still can be used for recreation. do you think this would be the clutch for me? i hope you upgraded the flywheel why you were in there :wink: |
flywheel really depends on your application. Street/Drag, autocross, etc due to the low torque numbers of the 13B. ACT has a nice puck clutch and street strip model out depending on what your preference/application is as well.
good luck. |

ACT SS is a great all around clutch. Just make sure you replace the other clutch items when you do the clutch (wedge collar, clutch fork, etc). FDNewbie has a link somewhere that lists all of the things you may need to change while you have the tranny out.
Don't skimp on a few bucks (ask me how I know) and replace it all while you are in there. I ended up breaking my clutch fork, so I ended up having to do the job twice. good luck, Charlie |

recreational/weekend racer can be autocross or drag.
my point is that drag launchs can be tricky with a light weight flywheel so it's not always a good idea to swap out the factory one.

well you certainly convinced me into getting one...is there any way you could post a site, or order information for the clutch. i'd love to get one
thx alot for the feedback |
I spent alot of time looking at/for this clutch before I bought a used one... yesterday actually. The two best places for price are going to be Rishie @ Auto RnD and Dynamic Autosports. Dynamic is an authorized Exedy Racing Dealer.
