Hi, I had an Exedy Stage 2 Cerametallic installed on my EVO awhile ago and it started slipping recently. I also removed the restrictor pill about a year ago. I usually baby my car when I drive it but it only lasted about 35,000 miles. Is this normal?

I'm leaning towards the Exedy Triple SR. Does anyone have any experience with this clutch? Will it last longer on a daily driven EVO with a conservative driving style?

If you baby the car, why would you put a high performance racing clutch in it? I track mine and got 10k miles out of it. These clutches aren't made to last long to save on weight!

 

I only hit the track once or twice a year. The rest of the time it's my DD so I was expecting more than 35,000 miles. I mean, I got 65,000 miles off the OEM clutch when I put down 300 awhp.

 

Mine is in need of a clutch as well and I was looking at the excedy stage 2 clutches. Then i came across the Competition Clutch stage 2 from English Racing. From what I have read so far it seems to be a good alternative to a multiplate clutch for people that DD their cars.

 

I know a few people who ran Competition and only got 15,000 miles out of it. For the price, that's right were it should be.

 

It is going to depend on how you drive it. Twin's and triple clutch kits aren't meant to last long, they are meant to hold power!!!!

We have 2 guys on the twin and they both just brokw 45k and the guy on the triple is breaking 30k soon.

We have both Exedy Twin's(MM022HD) and Triples(MM023SR) in stock....Give me a shout and I'll take care of you and hook you up with EvoM pricing.

 

I have 59k miles on my stage 2 clutchmasters. My race shop told me I could still use it but since I have my engine being rebuilt I am going to upgrade to the stage 3 clutchmasters (FX350). When I spoke to clutchmasters last week the guy told me that in all his years that he has never heard of someone getting that many miles on that clutch with an Evo and that it must be a record (and there is still enough material on it to use it.) With numbers I will be putting down, I figured I'd not take the chance and go stage 3.

I daily drive mine and loved the stage 2. I hope the new one is even better.

 

Agreed with most of the comments here on the multi-disc clutches and them not being made to last. They were made for other purposes and that was to hold power and save on weight.

On my persona Evo X I have an Exedy Twin HD (Bought my car with it) and It has about 20+k miles on it currently. I am also only at 300whp and 300wtq. Car has seen about 30-40 launches on the clutch and 70+ auto cross runs other than the easy daily driving on it. Still hold strong, but don't know how much life is left in it.

On my Evo 8 I had an Exedy Twin HD as well. That car had about 10+k miles on the twin with lots of hard launches, races, auto cross runs, and even some hill climb events on it too. (Around 12 races). Car was in the 420whp range for most all of those miles and when I was building the new motor checked the clutch out. It was still at close to 70% left left in it from what was new and that was with hard driving on it.

My friend has had a Quarter Master twin disc in his Evo 9 that he rebuilds every winter. Granted his car has been between 600whp-750whp and only gets driven about 4-7k miles a year. This car does get lots of pulls and races on the clutch though and is as expected on something like this getting driven hard for its few miles. He doesn't mind rebuilding it once a year as he understand it with his car, plus he likes to freshen up the car over the winter when its not being driven.

It really is hard to say how the life is with these multi-disc clutches. To many factors, power/ torque and driving styles to factor in. I recommend contacting someone with the manufacture or a distributor to let them know your driving style, power, etc to see what they would recommend best for you.

There are some singles our there that may be better options than going with a multi-disc setup. I would say though that 35k on your twin isn't bad at all. Some have gotten better other have not gotten worse. You just never really know. I have seen a stock clutch come out of an Evo with close to 100k on it before and that is saying something. You will never get an exact number on parts that wear out unfortunately.
