We have been bombarded w/ emails lately requesting information on the new, increasingly popular, Exedy High Performance Clutch that we carry that many of you are familiar with, or have read about. For those of you that already have either type of clutch assy. in your Corvette, you already know of the superior build quality and smooth engagement feel that these clutches have to offer for the type of huge clamp loads that they provide and for those of you that don’t have one of these currently, this is your opportunity to upgrade at an affordable rate. We’ve been chasing Exedy for over a year to carry their products and now that business relationship has been acquired. :)

The Exedy clutches are in an upper class all by themselves in terms of build quality, torque capacity and engagement feel. They have been around for quite sometime and proven themselves in the Sport/Compact/European market already and their step into the GM LSx market has been a real benefit for us as a solution to some of the negative clutch issues that you are certainly aware of from other clutch manufacturers. Their initial cost may be a bit higher, but their quality in workmanship and materials are certainly evident when you see one up close. Below are the specs of the two types of clutches that we currently carry for your review and their respective GP prices. We only have a limited number of these at the moment, so after our initial stock is depleted, we’ll not have another order delivered to us until the end of April so the GP extends until 3-31-04, or until were out of stock of this order. If you choose to participate, please call the office to make shipping and payment arrangements and shipping costs are approx. $35-$40 to anywhere in the Continental U.S. via FedEx regular ground. 20% restocking for all returned/cancelled orders with this GP.

Guys,

For those who have not had a chance to feel one of these clutchs, your missing out. I had the fortune of doing developement for them on the twin disc (and responsible for the t5100 material hehe) on my twin turbo.
It is by far the most streatable race clutch on the market, bar none, with vitually no chatter and smooth engagement. It does however have a significant increase in pedal effort, I would say certainly above most domestic pedal loads. I personally like it, but if your used to the late model zo6 mush pedal (lightest pedal effort in history) I just wanted to warn you. For pre zo6 clutch guys, I suggest swapping out your master/slave to late model Z06 to reduce effort and preventative maintainance while its tore apart.
We no longer have to be subject to the "shake Rattle and Roll" of race clutchs!

Phil

 

NeptuneBill, Flyin'Brian, BuckMaster and I are all running them...and LOVE the clutch :D

I'm sure others are too, you won't be disappointed with this setup :) :cheers:

 

Here are some pictures of this clutch, very high tech unit :yesnod:

How does the pedal pressure compare between the single and dual disk? :cheers:

 

Nearly the same. If someone didn't make you aware of it, you probably wouldn't notice the difference between the two. As stated above, both feel stiffer than O.E., but nothing un-obtrusive. In fact, it is a much more re-assuring clutch pedal effort that you know that a quality unit is residing behind your engine.

Everyone I told about this clutch has loved it every bit as much as I said they would--at this time I can't imagine a better clutch for our cars--put one in and your are done with clutch issues, no break in period, smooth start from the moment you crank up--all of us running this clutch cannot imagine using anything else--

 

Here is an answer we provided to someone with a common question that we feel will benefit everyone here in knowing, regarding what type of clutch to use for what application and when it's necessary to step up to the Stage II...

-snip-
I would suggest that you realistically determine your driving style and your intended future modifications so that you don't make the mistake of under-clutching your car for your particular application. If you're currently at the limit of your modifications that you intend to do and you know the power output of your engine as it is, than you can use simple math to determine if your application fits into the torque capacity of either clutch type and make your informed purchase accordingly. If you have the budget of going larger, that certainly would be to your benefit, as the pedal feel is nearly the same for both types, just one is quite a bit stronger than the other.
-snip-

Hope this helps some of you better. :)

Just curious about the non-GP price. I don't need a clutch now, but when the day comes I will likely go with this setup.

 

For those of you wondering about durability of the Exedy here is a link

I bought the twin last week..... any special info needed about the install, or does it drop in like a single?

 

vettenuts-
$1449 and $1927 respectively.

:lurk:

 

Phil (or anyone else):

What is the total weight savings of this vs the stock clutch? What does the flywheel weigh alone? Can anyone compare the pedal effort compare to other clutches? Cartek, Spec, Ram, etc? I imagine the Exedy HAS to be better than my current setup, which is the original Cartek. It's pretty much ~150lb leg press. Girls can't even drive my car ....oh wait - that's a good thing.

I wonder if the single has a heavier pedal, due to the much higher clamp loads. I wonder if I'm gonna have to be the guinea pig.

Put me down for a single disk, Phil. I'll call later today.

Wow, not trying to step on anyones toes, but 1700.00 seems to be the regular price for all the other vendors that carry this unit. Maybe I'm missing something, is there something they are not including, etc?

 

Dope-
The O.E. assy. is approx. 42.6 lbs.
