Does anyone have any experience with the new Exedy Organic clutch? I am considering this or the ACT street setup. The only posts on the subject have bad things to say about the ACT with high RPM lockouts and heavy feel. So, let's hear the dirt on the Exedy. If there is none, great!

I plan on autocrossing and daily driving my essentially stock Evo.

Mattgold went 12.0 or 11.9 on stage 1 with prostreet flywheel.

Is stage 1 the organic clutch?

 

Yes the stage 2 is the ceremetallic disc. I recommend the organic over that.

I was just going to post on this forum about this clutch.

I installed the exedy organic clutch over the weekend, along with an SS line and a shortened slave cylinder rod.

So far so good. It feels almost the same as stock and my car is a daily driver in NYC

I installed it with th CCI lightweight flywheel(special from Gruppe-S)

I'll let you know how its going in a week if you like.

 

Thanks sierrany, but I need to order it today. I'd still be interested in your review later. Any other people want to chime in?

 

look up some of my posts on the subject, lengthy and informative. all who "jumped-in" had great answers! I reccomend exedy, actman will jump is soon I am sure, he has good info on BOTH! he is intellegent! I bet he never missed a day of skool!

 

Then at least let me tell you what i think so far
I have 200 miles on it already...been driving it everyday since the install
1st gear is a little trick to get into.
I chalk that up to it being a new clutch and not being broken in yet
I have taken it up to 120 MPH it hold well
so far no complaints

 

Does it smell like poop if you slip it too much like the stocker?

 

yeah it smells. I inadvertenly dropped it in at high RPM's 3500 or so and it smelled like the stock one when abused

 

Not looking for triple plate. Just their single $500ish clutch. From your signature, I guage you have the triple.

 

Any organic clutch is going to give of the smell when you burn it.

The cerametallic clutch will smell a little different and will chunk off when overheated. The reason that the Stage 2's do not last quite as long is the amount of friction material is far less then the organic. But the material used does last longer. So it is a trade off.

If you step up to a carbon clutch the friction material lasts about 4x longer then cerametallic. and As you heat it up the carbon actually becomes stickier.

Hope this gave you some info to make your decision.

Thanks... Thats one of my less favorite atributes of the stocker. It sucks enough to give your clutch a good baking without the fumes and jeers of onlookers holding thier noses.

 

Any more Exedy Organic Street clutch opinions. I'm ready to order it.

 

I have had it on my car since early spring. Great clutch, very happy with it. Go order it!
