Unhappy Stage 1 clutch died after 2000 miles

Hi all,

Had a excedy stage 1 clutch fitted to MY02 STI prodrive bugeye, last few weeks started burning bad and now has started slipping badly.

Not really been hammering it - honest

Srill would have expected a better performance.

Any ideas?

Clutch was fitted by CotComp in preston, been sent back to exceedy now for testing to see if there was a fault with it.

Flywheel was fine and no problems with the cylinder, so we'll wait and see!

Not one of ours, but could it be oil contamination?

No had that checked, no sign of oil at all.

Had it replaced now with the goosed one sent for testing by exceedy - see what they come back with - although apparently only 2% of those sent off are defective according to the distributor.

Thanks for your idea though
