Yea, the title says it all. I'm getting a clutch job done with a $100 dollar difference between Mazda or Excedy.. The excedy's a regular clutch.

Should I save $100 bux and go with the Mazda?
Or throw in an extra $100 and pray for a little extra performance?

 

exedy's clutchs aparently suck, i have no experiance with them but know of a few people that curse them

 

Do you mean a mazdaspeed clutch, or the stock mazda? Or am i missing something

 

stock mazda... as in.. bought from the dealer...

 

try eurodrive, my buddy is using one seems to like it

 

Never heard nore have i tried eurodrive, but if i were you i'd save the money and just get the stocker, then when you have enough money read up on how to change the clutch and do it yourself. It's not really that complicated, just taked some effort and help from a friend.

First clutch change on my rex since i bought it was done by me, and that was the first time i'd changed a clutch ever. Again with a haynes manual, the right tools and parts and some help i'm sure you could probably do it, just need to be a somewhat mechanically inclined.

 

Stock Mazda clutches are made by Excedy any way!

 

that would be why they suck, but i thought they were made by dainkin?

 

REALLY?! screw that. i'm going with the oem then.

 

the reason it might be more expensive is the presure plate thats the thing that increases clamping load but on most n/as it's not a huge deal

 

i heard exedy clutchs were GOOD actually...my friends have them in their integas and they swear by them. and if the DO suck why do some many japanese race cars run exedy?

 

becuae all japanese stuff is higher quality. and lots of the japanese guys run os giken. my buddy had one on his t2, the pp wouldn't hold 300hp, slipped like crazy, put a ACT in there and it's 10 million times better.

 

haha. this has nothing to do with the convo or thread but.. i like the flames on ur avatar. lol. i want flames!

 

exedy makes the mazda clutch. If it's a 100 dollar difference go with the mazda OEM clutch from the dealer. UNless you are getting the exedy racing sport upgrade clutch, which is better than OEM.

 

Oh frank ( RXciting) I loved the video of you doing your clutch

 

?

Did the Pressure Plate hit you in the head while i wasn't looking?
