Default Exedy Twin Disc WOW!!!!!

I have been waiting to post until I had a few miles and track time on my new Exedy Twin Disc clutch. This clutch is unbelievable.
First thing I noticed was a stiffer pedal which around the 1000 mile mark has softened a great deal. I really like the pedal feel and I know exactly when this clutch engages and disengages.
Next thing I noticed was the high release and engagement point. Some may not like this but once again I love it. It has helped considerably on my 1/4 times with much quicker shifts.
The shifting is a 1000% better as well. The shifting is butter smooth as compared to a very notchy feel from the factory.
Last but not least is the holding capability and street driveability. I have approx 25-30 passes on the track with various launchs as high as 6500 and this clutch has not even wimpered a bit. I also drive this car quite a bit on the street and whether in traffic or not there is no chatter, noise and is very smooth.
I beleive the most important part of this clutch was the customer service and advice I received from Tom @ Carolina Clutch. I spoke with him at length 2 different times before deciding to go with the Exedy unit. Tom spent alot of time with me asking questions about my car and use of the car to make sure I was purchasing a clutch which would handle my needs. I wish every vendor I spoke with was as helpful and easy to deal with. I also found out several of the vendors on this site are supplied by Carolina Clutch so I dealt with him directly. I purchased the Exedy twin, slave and external bleeder line as a package deal. The external bleeder line is a god send. Anyone with a clutch need or question on our vette's should give him a call. 888-462-2739 http://www.carolinaclutch.com

I can't imagine a better clutch and since there is no track within a reasonalbe distance I expect it last longer than most of my components

I am having an Adjustable Master put on mine. I don't like the engagement so close to the top. With the stroker, it seems slightly harsh to me. Just as it engages and starts to propel the car I run out of pedal and the clutch GRABS like a ****. If I had slightly more pedal to slip it I will like it more IMO...................it holds though....no doubt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

folks complain about the price but after frying two Spec 3s plus all the Spec chatter the Exedy Twin may not be so expensive.

Anyone considering a Spec or other cheap clutch.....DON'T... the Exedy Twin is the far, far superior.

Was that for the single or dual disc?

Give Tom a call at Carolina Clutch. He will be able to explain as well or better than most.
