hi has anybody had probs with exedy had a race clutch fitted last xmas done 5000 odd miles sensible and its gone bought the complete kit as i thought get a decent one and it wont need changing for a few years been now told that theres only a 6month warranty on a race clutch compared to a standard one thats got 12 weres the sense in that any ideas as to what make to try next cheers people oh its a 94 wrx

 

have my sti a year, in from japan
it came with an exedy paddle clutch, went the 1st month.
got the exedy fast road 550euro, lasted i think 4 or 5 months.
got exedy paddle clutch 750euro, lasted 6 months.
it gone now, again.
but i had a compitition rear diff, and was told that was the problem.
the diff is changed now and going to get a cheap one somewhere

 

Might depend on the bhp/lbft in the engine (360/350), but my AP organic has lasted 3 years of road and competition use and is still full of grip and smell free.(9000 miles and 140+ drag starts)

I think longevity is all down to how you drop the clutch, 5500 rpm and lift the clutch leg as fast as you can.
This is with a Type R box and dccd with a race set plated rear lsd and very very stick full race Avon slicks...

Will be a twin plate Exedy next.

 

tink after the next cheap one, il try ap for a change.

 

that one cost me 340 plus fitting just think its crap to have gone so soon

 

approx 300 bhp havent had it on a rolling road but with mods its around there abouts no mods to diff or transmission

 

Never give any chance of slipping!
The AP even has the weight in the pedal of a stock Sti clutch.

 

boot it from stand still fine put foot down in 4th or 5th on the a38 and the revs rise

 

Buy my STI You can have the twin plate free

 

ta for the offer but i,ll stick with me wagon

 

Alan, believe me i would if i could! Perfect hillclimb car for me, even better than KennyS's RA. It only needs a 6 point cage, nothing as a task.

Clutch slipping at max boost in 4th/5th is not good.
Allowing slip on launch wears/hotspots the surfaces. Seems to me it's got to come out and looked at properly by one who knows.

If your test road is the A38 you must be in the Midlands? If so maybe a call to Davis at API wouldn't go amiss.

If that same clutch survives in Alan's car it will (should) in yours, just look at the 500++ torque he has!

 

down in the depths of devon in plymouth getting it changed over the xmas period but wont be putting a exedy back in

 

no problems with my exedy organic including drag launches. 420bhp & 350lb/ft on my sti8.

 

Did you buy the kit off flat4 online?


.

 

no a dealer in cornwall

 

well got the clutch out today looks more like ive done 100,000 thousand than 5000 going to take it back to dealer and see what he says but i aint holding my breath

 

took the clutch back to the dealer today he reckons exedy will just say ive abused it and it aint worth the p&p to send it to them prob is if they did give me another race clutch i doubt id fit it ive no confidents in it might be i got a one off ****e plate but once bitten

 

I've had the same prob. Run 320bhp and similar torque for 2 weeks and clutch went. Changed to an Exedy and lasted 7 weeks. Got another fitted for nowt and lasted 7 weeks again, now going for uprated Exedy from APIDavid. Damn good price and says it will take 400/400 so I'm already saving for a new 'box.
