Thanks Crazy K, anyone else with some reviews?

 

Bump....
Im putting this in my IX MR next week, i'll post how the install goes and some first impressions. If i remember after i break it in, i'll re post with some impressions.

 

i had an exedy in my wrx and loved it. bought the stage 1 HD for when my stocker goes out.

 

I have had this in my 9 MR for about 2500 miles and so far so good. It is quite a bit stiffer than the stock clutch which doesn't bug me but people not use to driving my car complain about it.

 

Stage 1 lasted me 45k miles. went to the track twice this last six months and it quit on me. granted the last little while I've been 450wtq and 500whp-550whp (hta green and black).

 

I have an unused stage 1 HD kit if you decide to get one of these

 

Exedy 1 is garbage. Worse than stock

 

Care to share your negative experience with this clutch?

 

Not sure why people experience problems with ACT. My ACT shifts like butter straight up to 7850, never experienced lock out etc. Only problem with mine is the stupid clutch clip, happened to me again today, this time I had a clutch fork stop. Probably too much gap I guess.

 

when my car was stock -- i had this clutch in it from the prior owner. GREAT clutch. LIl more then stock and perfect for DD. 325tq and under its perfect

 

I had it in a 2003 and it burns, it smells like dead fish and it's weaker than stock. A few mods later and you burn right through it

 

depends how you drive as well. What mods did you do? Its not rated for much power so you probably went over the limit

 

To many people dont read the instructions/description...

 

Im gonna go with the Exedy Stage 1 HD, once i get it installed in the next few weeks ill give my reviews of it

 

I just went through the full life of this clutch, and for me it lasted exactly 41,000 miles.

This unit saw a TON of abuse. 200+ drag and autox launches at 5800rpm, many many WOT pulls and dyno pulls. It held up just fine, and my car makes 382whp/365wtq at 26 psi.

My one complaint is that in order to slam gears, the clutch throw had to be extended to the max, and that took a little getting used to. Overall, the clutch did it's job in my opinion, though I am trying something else this round.

Cheers
