any more feedback on this clutch? I just popped the stupid TOB retainer clip from my Exedy twin disc last night for the 3rd time!! NO MORE. Time to switch to a push style.

This clutch seems like a great purchase..how does it stack up to the tilton twin disc with the push style conversion? Thanks.

I have the Tilton, and get the Quartermaster.

You can get the QM with a Hydraulic TOB. If I had to do it all over again, I would just get the QM. The Tilton is too much money compared to the QM. Fortunately, I picked up my Tilton used.

I'm honestly leaning towards the Tilton twin cerametallic setup. Mainly because of parts rebuildability, availability, and if needed can upgrade to the carbon/carbon setup. All that might be worth the extra $$ now then regretting it later. The QM does look great though!

Regardless either will be better than this freaking pull style Exedy!!!

I think the QM is probably the most affordable rebuild you will find when it comes to these twins, and we always have the rebuild kits available

For a daily driver... Definitely the Exedy Twin .. It will last a lot longer than the QM as well, since the QM's are known not to last very long in a daily driven car.. Even if it is not beat.. and Plus the Exedy has bigger Disks compared to the QM.. which means more surface area..

IMHO you would want the Exedy twin. for me it has lasted over 35k hard miles and still going strong. its a great DD clutch and never let me down.

the QM or tiltin imo is gonna be more of a race ready clutch witch does not seem to last as long ''as my research has shown'' and will be a PITA to drive on the streets. i have driven one before and it is much tougher and as my self i would not mind it but for some it may be to much. i cant emagine it on a hill though. lol

does anyone know if qm is trying to do something about the life of their twin disc clutches? I don't really daily drive mine, but it would be nice to not worry about it for a while

I put a Quartermaster in my DD EVO When I owned it. The current owner is an employee here and the clutch probably has over 20,000 miles on it. I was expecting it to crap out by now, but (IMHO) if it is adjusted correctly and is driven corrently I don't see why it shouldn't last for awhile. The disk are very meaty compared to the .0157" thick Exedy disk.
