Default Do Twin Plate Clutches get any quieter ?

An awful lot of noise from it just wondering if that goes in time or even tones down a little ?

Initially I could hear my Exedy twin plate on idle with the clutch depressed, but now I really struggle to hear it. So yes... if you have an Exedy.

Oldfella - Is your clutch new? Mine was put in around April this year, but a friends is older and is still quite audible. His clutch was heavier to push down as well. Hope that means Exedy are getting better at making (quiet) twin plates.

They will never be fully quiet due to their design. The exedy is quieter than the Giken though.
