So our clutch is made by Exedy?? I thought it was just like a OEM Replacement, but made by a better company. Ok, so this Exedy HD Twin sounds like its way more expensive then what im looking to spend on a clutch. $475 shipped isnt bad, What series ACT is it? How is it daily driver wise? Keeping in mind, im not looking for something that will hold a billion HP at the track!! Does changing the clutch change the pressure needed to depress and release the clutch pedal? If so, I need something thats fairly easy or close to stock due to a bad knee that acts up sometimes.

for the price then, go with the ACT clutch. research it first, as I always say. Talk to Actman on this site, and ask him your questions, he is very well versed on clutches!

the act clutch requires a little effort, but my 4'10' 100 lb girlfriend drives it all the time so i dont think it will be an issue.

Yeah right Wall-a-thon. Next you're going to tell us Brembo makes the brakes, Recaro the seats and Momo the steering wheel










To the thread poster: As long as you're opening up your car to replace the clutch, definitely take the opportunity to upgrade, or you'll probably just find yourself in the same postition in a short while...

Thats what i was trying to determine, Is wether that was a upgrade or not. I planned on upgrading since i was gonna have to replace it anyways.

Steve - What exact clutch is it?? What is included with it.

Sorry, I was playing with Warrtalon, didn't mean to throw you off. That particular clutch is NOT an upgrade. As they've said, the OEM is made by exedy, and that's exactly what that ebay one is.
