Carrito, does this new master cylinder make the clutch pedal adjustable as well? That would be a really nice added benefit if it does.

Exedy Twin FTW!!!

Had one in my IX with over 400whp and 430 ft. lbs. The clutch never gave me a problem and took some serious abuse at the track as well.

Yes, when and where can we buy one of these? Also, is the install pretty easy? It doesn't look too complicated, but I've never done one of these before. I guess you just disconnect the stock clutch master cylinder and unbolt the pedal assembly and then pull the unit out in one piece?

What is required for the install then? Could you help give us an idea of what the steps are to install this? Maybe do a "how to?"

I'm running Cusco twin clutch (which is mostly the same as Exedy). So far no problems.
At first it felt very stiff and I couldn't get the car going ))) Then it broke in and now feels much softer and smoother, almost like stock. During the break-in I felt vibration when I was releasing the clutch pedal, it was very annoying in stop-and-go traffic. Now it's gone, doesn't vibrate anymore (after about 500 miles or so), but I can hear a rubbing noise. Again, it's ony during the clutch pedal travel.
I didn't do much drag racing or tracking yet. Just normal driving.

I can say the same for ACT HDSS on my VIII. 320whp in daily use, 420whp for 12 months, and in the end 515whp 605wtq on a 175 shot and it never slipped or gave me issues. I sold the car to my engineer and he has never owned a manual or a fast car, and that clutch now has 35,000 miles on it and is taking his beating....the guy can't turn a corner without hammering the gas

Someone mentioned exedy twins blowing out the master cylinder, but not ACT's... ??? How could this be possible? The pressure plate on an ACT has more clamping power than an exedy. The difference is in the # of clutch discs and the materials. Cerametalic and double the discs increases the holding power thus the need for a heavy pressure plate is diminished. And keep in mind their are 4 different Exedy twins available. SD and HD of the sprung center disc style, and SD and HD of the lightweight quickshift center.
