Not that mine is going bad or anything, just notice more chatter which I havent noticed before, ( have 20K miles on it) NO drag-racing, but did auto cross and occasional light to light stuff) maybe surfaces wearing thin? someone told me they were rebuildable, but havent gotten any confirmation on it yet. Matt G., are you out there?

 

I would be curious on the price to rebuild them. My ATS carbon triple plate has died and ATS told me it would be cheaper to buy a new clutch almost... they want $550 per plate (x 3) + the metal plates or over 2300 to rebuild it.

 

bumer,
sorry to hear about that! Mine sounds like throw-out bearing chatter, or the "fingers" in the clutch housing rattling at 4K-5K rpm in every gear. Mech. says need poly. bushings, had weaponR engine dampner and sent engine vibrations thru the body, took off the dampner, and still have this annoying vibration at the aforementioned RPM. Mr. Matt Gold will be on here soon to give us the answer we are looking for!

 

Yoooooo...


YES! ALL our Hyper Series clutches are rebuildable. Metallic, Carbon, Single, Twin Triple... ALL rebuild parts are available - and by the time you need a rebuild, we will be offering IN HOUSE factory certified rebuilds!!!

We will soon be offering in-house flywheel resurfacing, pressure plate resurfacing, new discs, new bolts, etc, etc... why go to Billy-Bob down the street when you can have an Exedy factory rebuild???

As for the rattle - reality of the clutch. Nothing is wrong with it, just the intermediate plate bumping on the flywheel posts... you may also be catching some gearbox vibrations being transfered. Some are loud, some are quiet. It really is all dependand on the car and it's inhearant harmonics. I have heard cars loud cars, others that didn't make a noise untill the A/C was kicked on, and some that *never* made a sound.

Any additional questions feel free to shoot me a PM or e-mail... time for bed.

 

Thank you Matt!!!!!

Is there any reason to buy a clutch BESIDES EXEDY? heck NO! who else stands behind their product like this? No one! I thought it was OK, havent been really hard on it, and it grips like theres no tomorrow! Maybe that dampner wacked out my bushings, who knows. My twin Carbon was actually louder than the triple.
I'm off to bed also, now I can sleep easier!

Thanks again,
Kevin

 

So can you give any price talk on rebuilding the exedy's matt? This is an issue for me as I am on my 4th clutch....

 

What kind of clutch do you have?

Obviously prices will be different from Single-Twin-Triple because of the number of discs...

We haven't officially "launched" the program - however, expect about $100 for the cleaning, resurfacing, testing, etc, etc.

 

Matt, I have killed the following: rps max 5 puck ceramic, cusco carbon twin, ats triple plate carbon. Now on an inexpensive act. 500whp roadrace car with hard 25 + days of hard track time...

The ATS was nice but they want over 2k to rebuild it as the plates are 500+ apiece + other parts x 3. Not worth it.

So you will "rebuild" your twin carbon for $100?

 

how much to rebuild a exedy twin plate not carbon?

 

My 2c, If you had the exedy triple carbon, no problems!! damn you break alot of stuff, you should get an automatic trans retro-fitted!!

 

I road race so automatic trans isn't in my vocabulary :P

 

I am just kidding gt40, you are actually driving the car as it should be driven, but get a clutch that will outlast your driving. I beat (drive hard) my exedy triple and havent had a lick of trouble, It still grabs like there is no tomorrow!!!with 20K + miles on it!

 

Hey MATTGOLD.question,if you have a regular exedy twin disc,and wanna upgrade it to a carbon/carbon is it just buying the disk or do you have to have the real carbon set up????

 

gt40 - Don't read too far into the above quote - it all depends on what clutch you have.

In labor - it will be about that... but you will need to purchase new discs if they are worn out. Since carbon differs from metallic and number of dicsc vary, prices vary.

Discs range from $200+ retail - but we haven't yet set prices for the rebuild program. We are targeting $500-$800 for a complete triple carbon rebuild.

 

Nope - more to it than that.

The cover, diaphram springs, and flywheel are all different Metallic vs Carbon.

However, it *is* possible to convert a twin carbon to a triple carbon by swapping out discs and intermediate plates.
