Exedy Twin Plate - Just had one fitted....
I've just had an Exedy Twin Plate fitted, and this is the first time i've ever actually replaced a clutch on a car. To be honest it isn't too bad to drive. I was expecting it to be a lot harder. Although when the clutch peddle is pressed, it rattles it's **** off, which I'm told is normal.
I've drove it moderately for 400 miles now, and not launched or anything yet.
Occasionally when changing gears at high revs (5k), and I let the clutch up fast and accelerator pedal back down fast, there is quite a big 'clunk', which is definitely coming from the clutch area!! I can't make the noise happen, it just randomly happens, but is quite loud. Is this normal with these clutches? Does it need more bedding in etc?
Also, I park my car with the passenger side tight against a wall, on a steep hill. To get in position I have to reverse to get there. This seems very difficult! I have to rev tons (which won't please the neighbours at 5am in the morning, or late at night), and it makes a whirring noise, and it all seems very jerky/crap to park..........It's also quite embarrassing if anyone is watching as I look like a spaz not being able to park properly.
Any ideas?

i have found the exedy twin to actualy quite a nice everyday clutch to use. pedal feel seems to be no worse that a standard clutch. yes, slightly more beans when driving off but in gear changes and a very progressive biting point.

No noises from my Cusco/Exedy twin plate. It did when it was first fitted 3yrs ago, but then a few standing starts sorted that out bedding it in!!

Yeah, mine rattles too. But every now and then there is a big bang/knock when changing gear fast, and high speeds. It's happened about 6 times now....

Another one with noisey reverse here. Thought it may have been the box or rear diff though as I replaced all 3 at the sametime. Can't understand how being in reverese could make adifference to the clutch.
Find the clutch ot great when coolbut when it gets some heat in it it feels very grabby.
Oh and ditto with the comments from people telling me its gubbed and I should get my whiney gearbox looked at (straight cut).
