EXEDY Corporation, formerly Daikin Manufacturing Company, is the largest independent OEM clutch supplier to the Japanese automotive market. A Japan-based company, EXEDY Clutch supplies clutches to Ford Motor Company and General Motors in the U.S. In addition, EXEDY supplies clutches to all major Japanese auto manufacturers and is Japan's leading supplier of racing clutches.

Consistent with their tradition of quality, all EXEDY racing and performance clutches are designed, engineered and built as race clutches - not rebuilt from stock clutches. Unlike other performance clutch manufacturers, EXEDY clutches are not made of gray cast iron from rebuilt stock clutches. Instead, EXEDYclutch pressure plates are newly constructed from ductile (nodular) iron for your increased safety in harsh performance environments.

Daikin Clutch USA, a subsidiary of EXEDY Corporation, manufactures standard, heavy duty, sports performance and racing clutches. EXEDY Clutch is indeed one of the worlds leading manufactures of automotive clutch assemblies. Exedy consistently deliver first rate quality and service to top vehicle manufacturers across the globe who demand only the best clutch when installing their manual transmission packages.

In the automotive aftermarket, Daikin clutches are sold over the counter in over 80 countries. EXEDY Clutch has manufactured Daikin brand clutch assemblies along with other drive train components for over 75 years. Daikin products have been present in the North America since 1968, and Daikin Clutch products have been manufactured in the United States since 1988 to serve both Original Equipment and aftermarket clutch customers in North, Central, and South America.

 

EXEDY Organic Clutch

EXEDY racing clutches with organic friction materials utilize only premium materials to provide maximum resistance to slippage and burst.

EXEDY organic clutches can also handle modified engines due to the increased clamp loads.
Drivability with EXEDY organic clutches is similar to that of stock clutches.

Pedal efforts will be slightly higher due to the higher clamp loads.

As with all EXEDY clutch discs, EXEDY organic clutches feature high capacity spring center dampers designed to reduce drive train shock and impact.

 

EXEDY Cerametallic Clutch

EXEDY cerametallic clutches are designed to handle the abuse of high power modified engines.

EXEDY cerametallic friction material can handle much more slippage than stock type disc assemblies.

EXEDY cerametallic clutch discs feature spring center dampers to reduce the impact and shock loads placed on the drive train. This protects the transmission and the entire drive line system.

All EXEDY clutch discs are equipped with thin cerametallic friction material (approximately half the thickness of a stock disc).

Compared to other clutch discs with thicker friction materials, EXEDY's thinner layer of friction material reduces clutch disc inertia and improves transmission shift efforts and synchronizer durability.

As with any cerametallic clutch system, some compromise of startup drivability should be expected as compared to a stock clutch (i.e. chatter on light throttle, low rpm startup). This characteristic is considered generally acceptable in modified performance cars.

 

Exedy Hyper Carbon Clutch

Exedy has developed the best carbon structure with high burst strength and torque transferring capabilities as a performance clutch. With the carbon, Exedy has tuned for Friction Coefficient to get smooth operating @ Cold Condition like street, and High Torque transfer @ hot condition such as Race Circuit. The Exedy Hyper Carbon Clutch has superb easy operation, best inertia and extremely high torque capacity in this class of product.

Long Life Design
Exedy Semi Carbon possesses a life span greater than 2.3 times the average of a Metal facing and 1.3 times longer life when compared to other carbon clutch manufacturers.

Advantages
Lightweight: Improved shift response.
Strong heat resistance: No disengagement problems caused by disc deformation.
Long Life: Low friction material wear rate.
Easy Operation: Easy to use in the "Half Engaged" zone offering a comfortable operation either at the circuit or on the street.

 

EXEDY Hyper Single Clutch

The EXEDY HYPER SINGLE CLUTCH is a new generation clutch set for light to moderately tuned vehicles up to 400 HP. The EXEDY Hyper Single Clutch is ideal for limited street driving and road circuit cars.

The EXEDY Hyper Single Clutch has high torque capacity and a special lightweight design to reduce the clutch disc inertia.


LIGHT WEIGHT & LOW INERTIA DESIGN
High friction coefficient, low wear, and a special heat resistant material (T5001) has been developed enabling clutch size to be reduced and have increased durability.
Improved durability by strong small damper disc, especially re-designed for hyper single clutch.
Disc inertia level is less than OEM clutch for improved shift response for fast gear changes, especially in racing applications.


DIAPHRAM SPRING TECHNOLOGY FOR LONG LIFE & HIGH EFFICIENCY
Leading technology of clutch diaphragm spring and original design superior material using a special heat treatment process, which will result in a high durability level, and prevent heat deflection, loss of clamp load, and heavy pedal effort.
Long life and improved clutch operation due to original design for hyper single clutch.


STRAP DRIVE TYPE PRESSURE PLATE FUNCTION
Improved clutch disengagement. (Pressure plate is forcibly separated from facing surface by strap plate)
Prevent no-disengagement problem caused by the heat deformation of pressure plate.
Prevent the peculiar rattle noise of lug drive type clutch.

 

EXEDY Street/Race Twin Plate Clutch

The EXEDY Street / Race Twin Plate Clutch is designed for high torque capacity with "reasonable" streetability.

The friction facing material is cerametallic to bundle the abuse of highly modified engines.
Featuring a single spring damper for both discs, this clutch design has strap lift and drive for both the pressure plate and the intermediate plate.

A patented system evenly lifts both the main pressure plate and the intermediate plate providing a "clean" release for steetability.

Again, with all cerametallic clutch systems, some chatter should be expected on low rpm startups.

 

EXEDY Triple Plate Racing Clutch

The EXEDY Street / Race Triple Plate Clutch is designed for high torque capacity with "reasonable" streetability.

The friction facing material is cerametallic to bundle the abuse of highly modified engines.

Featuring a single spring damper for both discs, this clutch design has strap lift and drive for both the pressure plate and the intermediate plate.

A patented system evenly lifts both the main pressure plate and the intermediate plate providing a "clean" release for steetability.

Again, with all cerametallic clutch systems, some chatter should be expected on low rpm startups.

 

EXEDY Lightweight Racing Flywheel

EXEDY racing flywheels are made from billet chrome moly steel and are specifically designed to reduce weight and inertia for improved engine response. Most EXEDY models incorporate special design features to enhance the airflow for improved clutch cooling.


added:
EXEDY racing flywheels are made from solid one-piece forged chrome moly steel. They are specifically designed to reduce weight and inertia for improved engine response. Most flywheels incorporate special design features to enhance the air flow to improve the cooling of the clutch system.

The ring gear teeth are milled onto the flywheel, unlike some aluminium flywheels where the ring gear is pressed, increasing the possibility of separation from the flywheel. This can cause the flywheel to explode due to two different expansion coefficients (aluminium flywheel pressed on steel ring gear).

EXEDY forged chrome moly steel flywheels are guaranteed explosion-proof to 18,000rpm.

 

btw

Installing a sports / performance clutch to suit the
vehicle, Mitsubishi Evo 8 can transfer harmonic
transmitted noises from the engine to the gearbox. This
may also cause gearbox rattle. These transmitted noises
will in no way effect the performance of the clutch or
vehicle and is accepted in the performance industry
where engine / clutch modifications have been carried
out. These noises are also applicable to single plate
cerametallic clutch applications.

 

So....dare I ask....what is this car going to be used for? It's hard to reccomend a good clutch without knowing if this car will be a drag-only, auto-x, road race, daily driver, etc....
