Hey guys, I've got about 20,000 on my exedy twin plate, and i started to get locked out of my gears. So, I moved the clutch pedal and it was resolved for the most part, but I had to pretty much pull the pedal all the way out. It's been a few days now,and it's starting to lockout again. Anything else i should do before having to pull the trans out?

PK

 

Do a 5th gear pull at about 40mph to see if it's slipping. Sounds like it's on its way out.

 

Time for a clutch rebuild. These clucth's are just over priced IMHO. Yeah they work well for a tiny bit, 30K most and then you need to rebuild. The labor alone will make you cringe. I have been running ACT's for years now on DSM's and now two Evo's, they always work, my HDSS lasted 90K before I sold the Evo, probably still working.


The Exedy Twin just wares out faster, very smooth engagement for sure but that is at the cost of friction material and accelerated ware.

 

how much did you pay for your clutch?

 

double post

 

^yeah i hear ya. the clutch isn't slipping whatsoever, so i just want to see if there's anything else i can possibly do before the fun task of pulling out the trans

chin0, i think i paid around 1500 for it

 

not bad......I got mine clutch in and just pass brake-in puttin 1018k on it. did you ever get on it befor brake-in?
