Got an Exedy clutch from API fitted about 6 months back (and 30k miles ago) from a group buy on here. Has been perfect ever since.

An uprated organic Exedy.

There is a GB on these at the moment

I can get an Exedy supplied and fitted for 340 quid locally so I'm going to go for that

Exedy make OE replacement clutches too which are about £120-160.

Make sure you know what you're getting

Uprated ones retail at over £440.

I have a standard MY00 clutch in my car running 360ps, it works fine.

Personally I would not go for an uprated clutch as it will put more stress on your already weak gearbox, you want the clutch to be man enough for the job which the standard one is but also be the weakest part of the transmission, clutches are alot cheaper than gearboxes. As I said my standard clutch drives my 360ps with 343lbft of torque at speeds you lot can only dream off with no problems whatso ever.

Just my opinion so ignore it if you want.

Explain how that theory works?

Standard clutch is rated nowhere near 340ft/lbs torque.

With the labour costs and hassle of fitting a clutch, its best to fit a clutch that is upto the job IMHO.

I'm confident a standard Exedy wouldn't last long in my car, which has less power and torque than yours

Haven't you ever wondered why a lot of gear boxes on UK cars go pop with as you say a lot less power than I have?

It is just my opinion but bearing in mind that people that use uprated clutches and paddle clutches whatever suddenly have their standard gearboxes go pop, it is a fair assumption I think that the uprated clutch is the common denominator here.

Now as I say I have 343lbft of torque running through my standard MY00 gearbox with standard MY00 clutch and can spin all four wheels and power slide the car without any problems I would say a standard MY00 clutch is more than up to the job wouldn't you?

But as I say it is just my opinion based on what I have in my car. and I still stand by that you want the clutch to be the weakest link in the transmission as even with labour they are cheaper than gearboxes.

Which 'standard' clutch do you have in yours?

How is a uprated organic clutch more likely to break the box than a standard clutch?

People uprate their clutches because they reach the limitations of the standard clutch, which is why they are probably more likely to break something than someone who is coping with a standard clutch...

...some horses are stronger than others

You won't protect your gearbox by fitting a standard clutch!
