I have an Exedy twin disc has about 15k on it, I have been having what I thought was recent transmission problems but turned out my clutch is gone in under two years. That seems amazing to me that I bought a near $2000 clutch and it could barely hold up two years!!
And on top of that I was running the stock TOB style so my slave cylinder just recently was replaced I think thats insanity!

I'm at stock power level, and I am just wondering
what do you high power level guys that DD run?
and how long does your clutch usually last under your driving style before rebuilding?
I am wondering if I should keep with Exedy and go with the push conversion or look into a Quartermaster
thanks in advance for any input

 

i have a clutch here that was used for 30k miles for daily driving with no launches, and it's completely screwed. apparently it's the low clamping pressure, causing slippage and then high heat, which warps the top pressure plate. there is a guy here in the NZ that upgrades the clamping pressure (from 2000lbs to about 4500lbs) and then using carbon/kevlar clutch plates. This means very high clamp but still easy to drive with the materials used. It's being using in a 550whp car and it's working great. thats what i'll be doing.

My clutch guy said it's because the top pressure plate is so thin, so it can't soak enough heat and therefore it warps.

 

yea that would make sense if you really think about it, thanks for the info

 

same thing that is wrong with mine, and that plate is on backorder. Its also so thin its pointless to have it machined, it would be a waffer when you were finished
