Andy - I'm not sure what a good deal is. The only numbers that have been posted are $1,650 - $1,750 ish. That just really strikes me as high for a clutch ( I realized it does include a replacement flywheel ). Perhaps I'm just too picky..

Yo Kingpin wasssss up?!?!?! I'm glad to hear that your Excedy Clutch worked out....

I absoultely love mine...it's awsome the way it grabs. I love everything about it. Not to mention Andy was great about sending the clutch out to me ASAP since I was having some motor work done at the time.

Needless to say, yes it's a bit more, but well worth the investment for us go fast junkies!

Enjoy

Whatever a "good deal" is Andy I will take one too... LOL

OK OK.. supercharger install first.. but I cannot resist ordering the drag radials.

I am ready for one.. $1700 is a lot to shell out for a clutch though.

Has anyone been able to compare the Exedy twin disk setup against a McCleod twim disc setup.I've installed lots of McCleod's but never an Exedy.

Maybe someone has so input?

The McCleod has the goofy pedal effort feel..especially on release.hard to explain, but it feels like its always draggin on release..

The exedy, other than the higher effort has the same feel as stock.

I've tried stock, 2 McLeod twin streets (1 all organic and 1 with 2 sides organic, 2 sides kevlar) and I can only say that it was always a bear to shift into reverse new and after they were broken in.

The pressure plate design of McLeod is an old design an really just does not compare in my book to the quality of Exedy. I will also say the clutch is a little easier than the McLeod when new and like others have said the engaugement point is roughly half way off the floor.

I'm very happy with the Exedy and thrilled that my car finally shifts through all the gears like when it was stock.

I've read different things, but I'm holding the install instructions in hand and they read on Page #6 at the top under Caution during operation section:

After installation, drive carefully and gently for approx. 300 miles (500km). If the clutch is used in a condition where the friction surface is not contacting fully with the mating surface; It will cause burning, judder/shudder or short life.

Then after 300 miles of pampering, raise H3ll

The clutch will break in a lot better if you just do 20 miles of stop and go traffic than if you drive 300 miles on the freeway at a constant speed.

Why is that? Is that what Exedy recommends?

Thanks.
