Exedy make different versions of their twin plate don't they? Like the HD, SD, carbon and what not. I'm just speculating that we all have different responses because we don't have the same type of clutch?
Many factors will obviously result in different reviews, I'm just guessing that this could be the main reason.

 

For those who have twin disks in for daily use now may years / miles you have on it, I have seen someone said 6 years

 

Don't even bother with the SD it'll just slip under power. The HD handles basically 500 FP's of ENGINE toque so it'll slip too under some real power. They are EXTREMELY smooth to drive, easier than stock in some respects.

If you want power handling and high RPM shifting and just deal with building your left calf muscle into a rock, get an ACT XTSS pressure plate and an unspring 6 puck. It'll hald damn near 700 RP's of torque, shift very high in the RPM band, and last.

All things are lost under abuse of course.

 

Excedy Twin HD here with about 5k miles on it, few track days, some launches, still going strong, easy to dd, there is some chatter when depressed but it's less noticeable when everything is warmed up. Love this clutch!

Also have STM Fork Stop and ACT Monoloc, no problems even when shifting at high RPM's.

 

7k on my Exedy HD twin and not 1 problem. It does chatter quite a bit, seems to chatter more when its cold out (maybe I just notice it more in the cold). I would suggest this clutch to anyone!

 

I've driven a few people's evos that had twin HD's in them and the LAST thing that came to mind was "good for dd".

OP, what are you actual needs? If you're under 400wtq I would highly recommend the Exedy stage 1 HD.

 

So EXEDY HD seems to be the winner here.


since we're on the topic of clutches…

can someone here state the cons and pros of the products?

e.g (I'm only guessing as an example)


Puck Style clutch - pros; Better grip than single plate clutch. Cons; Difficult to ride…easily stalls.

Twin plate - Pros; Better grip than Puck style clutch. Cons; has the least amount of durability as a sacrifice for grip.

Single plate - organic, brass etc etc etc etc. Pros; Better durability than all puck and twin plate. Cons; least amount of performance.

Like i said guys, those are just e.g that is most likely incorrect…

so can someone shed some light?

thanks

 

well apparently I've heard the EVOS stock internals are really good for approx 335hp @ wheels.

anything above that, requires internal upgrade etc to sustain reliability.

well id like to get to at least 400hp @ the wheels… thats when id probably stop, to keep it at least semi street able.

My "actual needs" to answer your questions; is a clutch than can easily sustain that power. as well as having the durability to last say minimum 37,000 miles (if possible)

 

exedy twin, 5 yrs ,30k miles.

Mines chatters pretty loud on decal, but is about the same as stock at idle. And a non-issue with the clutch in. No sound.

 

There are plenty of 500+ whp evos on stock internals. It's the torque that kills them. Anything above 380-400 ft/lbs is considered detrimental to the stock internals.

 

Exedy Twin is a super comfortable daily clutch imo. I prefer it to the stock clutch or the ACT single plate I had before.

 

1+ Exedy Twin HD Ceramic/Metallic

 

I did not want an Exedy twin based on the fact the clip can pop off the TOB on a hard shift. Id rather not have to worry about that. I went with a QM 8 leg street version. I daily drive it in Chicago traffic with zero issues. It is noisy but you get used to it. I have almost 12,000 miles on it.

 

You can also rebuild the QM for half the cost of an Exedy rebuild

 

Sorry took so long to respond but do you have an hd? I have had a noise that I had last year that started and went away over time. That was the only sound I had with mine and I was told it was the disc that started to warp. I find that hard to believe being I do not drive that hard. Like I said I have over 63k miles on mine and now and it is starting to slip.
