Im about to get this next week now after reading this im thinking twice!

 

I never have a problem with my Exedy Twin HD

 

when pulling out in first does it sound like chewbacca off of star wars??? if so... yeah mine does that too....mines a triple plate exedy though

 

Sounds exactly like mine (mine is a HD Twin)

 

^sound clip?

 

I think I'm having the same problem... every once in a while the clutch starts engaging almost immediately off the floor but it only starts engaging. If you apply any throttle, it does not move until the later engagement point which is pretty high up in the pedal travel. Most of the time it only engages up towards the top of the travel. Any ideas?

I also get the bark but I don't think that's uncommon or much of a problem.

 

Is Tilton cerametallic better than Exedy twin cerametallic?

 

You are local and very very tempting with that killer deal...

Cheers-

My car does not seem to do it anymore now that the clutch is broken in. Tilton is a fairly Stout clutch and from what I have heard can be a total terror on the street to drive... My clutch feels VERY VERY street-able and almost like stock except the pressure plate is harder that is about it. It will slip very nice if you ask it to or it will totally kick your *** if you want that too.

 

Good to know!! Thank you for your review!! I am honestly thinking of picking up this guy's spare one...

Hmm what would the wife say?

 

You know for the amount of money spent on purchasing this clutch and having it installed I can't believe the sounds being emitted by the clutch. I have the same issue in first gear as all of you, but I have another issue as well with the Exedy Twin, when you down shift to decelerate, I get the initial chewbacca growl. This is really annoying when you have people ride with you, be it, the Evo is by far not the most docile car when it comes to cabin noises....but there are some sounds that even non-EVO fans recognize as not part of what the EVO normally sounds like. So to me this comes across as a problem that needs to be resolved. If Wicked Whites findings about improper install is what caused the same noise we are all experiencing, how many of us have made sure we don't fall into the same category??

 

They say a picture is a worth a thousand words, below are the images (courtesy Wicked White) of the misplacement of the intermediate clutch plate, disallowing the flat springs to assist in disengagement . Now for those who are saying this is normal for a clutch that cost almost $2K, let alone the installation price, I think you might want to reconsider what is being called normal break in noise.

 

Haha, walrus bark. I have it on my Exedy twin HD from time to time. Only after I launched it a little the other day.

 

Anyone who hears this sound is riding their clutch.. get ready to go 25K miles then rebuild

You have to take your foot off the clutch with "side step like" speed, especially in first

 

What is side step like speed?? I think what you are saying is, give it some gas by blipping the throttle, then let the clutch all the way out, instead of slipping it right?
