Do all Exedy clutches rattle and judder?
Hi,
I need a clutch for my bug sti 6 speed, as its slipping quite often, I have thought about the Exedy pink and lightweight flywheel, but after watching some videos on youtube, Im having second thoughts.
Some of the judder and noise is horrendous!!
Will these problems go away after the clutch has bedded in or is it there for the life of the clutch?
Also are there any negatives to fitting a lightweight flywheel? (somebody told me the sti's already have a light flywheel)
Thanks

I had an excedy 6spd pink box fitted 1500miles ago. It juddered at first in the low gears and when changeing down 3rd to 2nd, not severely but still a judder. It's improved to a faint judder in the last couple of hundred miles and thats something I can live with. My previous clutch exploded at santa-pod and I should have either had the flywheel skimmed or replaced. It clamps up very well on hard driving up the strip and thats with 380hp/450lbs. I would reccomend speaking to Mark at Lateral as they supply the clutches and get advice on the flywheel.
STI flywheel costs approx £100 to skim but it should be the correct process, not done cheaply on a lathe.
