As the title states, I'm wondering if an Exedy Twin is too much clutch for a DD IX with about 320awhp. I came across a great deal on a used Twin and will be rebuilding it and installing it since my current clutch is slipping badly. I'm asking this because I've read in a few threads that the Twin has "way too much friction" for DD situations and will wear out very quickly. I didn't seem to think that this was the case but I know absolutely nothing about clutches so any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I drive my x with 350 awhp and it's a bit stiffer but nothing u can't handle

 

For fast cars, the Exedy twin is the best street clutch hands down.

 

I DD my evo on a Exedy HD twin.

 

Good question! I am looking at getting an exedy twin for my DD but, I am looking at having about 500ish tq in mine. Would also like to hear peoples experiences with an exedy twin in a daily driver. Especially how you are using it eg if you see the track/ race. Thanks!

 

I have dd mine for 6000 miles with no problems

 

The Exedy Twin is a very civil clutch for DD.

 

I have had my SD in my DD for over 100k. It's not the high clamp but when I got it there weren't many options. Anyways very streetable and holds up just fine. I'm at about 320hp/315tq

 

I'm making like over 550hp and have an exedy triple (assuming it might be worse than a twin) and I drive it everyday, OVER 500 miles a week, and its not bad at all. The only annoying part is the grinding noise it makes but thats normal. The twin HD and triple HD uses literally the same pressure plate so should be the same pedal pressure. I'm selling a triple also if you ever plan on making much more power in the future

 

So after years of hearing "Exeddy twins are great on the street" I put one in after several brands of single plate organics. I am getting much better at it but stop lights on steep grades still induce anxiety and if others drive my car I can see them struggle a bit.

The good:

-High RPM shifts are awesome.
-no lockout.
-Noise in terms of plates rattling (in my case anyway) is exagerated.
-SD version holds my 400/400 with very little pedal effort.
-Can be rebuilt

The bad:

-Very precise and difficult to modulate engagement point.
-Metallic groan when engaging (dubbed the seal bark).
-Not as "smooth" as the organic singles.
-May wear faster (no first hand experience only 6-7k on it so far)

 

The Exedy Twin HD is a great clutch to daily drive on and you won't need to upgrade when you make more power. Let me know if you need any help with the rebuild

After you get used to it, it really isn't that bad of a clutch to daily drive.

 

Awesome, thanks everybody

 

I've put about 17000 miles on my Exedy Twin SD and it's great to daily drive, second only to the OS Giken Twins.

 

Good DD clutch if you don't plan on going to the dragstrip
