Rebuild an Exedy Twin Plate, or buy a new ACT

Alright, here is my situation. I was given an exedy twin plate that is in great shape, but would need new clutch disk and to be resurfaced. That would cost about 500

The other option is to buy a brand new ACT and have my stock flywheel resurfaced which would also be about 500

What do you all think that I should do? I also dont want to upset the guy that gave it to me, because I am appreciative for him giving it to me.

get an act, put it in your car, get some more money and fix the twin disc for rainy days. That way, you'll save money and wont be without a clutch.

...even better idea. Spend around 500 to get Exedy fixed like new, sell to me for 700, buy brand new ACT for additional 300...explain to friend you wanted single disk and to spread the love to another evo owner whose stock clutch is completely fried and been down for weeks! haha!

haha, smokedmustang is the person that gave it to me. The exedys are like a love hate thing, I have read all of the pros and cons. I have trouble justifying putting a 500 dollar clutch in when I could use the exedy for the same price.

"SmokedMustang"- if I get into your garage I am taking more than the clutch

I hear you...been doing the same research myself. If you do decide to go with ACT, I was serious about buying the Exedy off of you. Let me know asap though as I do have to get my car running soon. Thank you!

Good luck trying to find the rebuild parts for the Exedy. They are a tad hard to come by.
