EXEDY don't do retail price. But if you give the area you are in i can give you the best distributor.
Be care fully with the S15 they have a dual mass flywheel that can't be machined.


Actually they can be machined. Not a lot of places do it because it requires special machines and tooling.

I got mine done at Western Clutch (St. Marys) 9623 1233. Speak to Scott, he walked me through the whole clutch replacement process and knows his stuff.

They are also an Exedy distributor.

Yeah when i got my clutch replaced (Exedy) i got my flywheel machined. I had a bit of slippage issues after about 5,000km and with a lil playing around of tightening and moving the friction point its all good now.

if i was to do it again, id recomend buying a flywheel/clutch combo. i was going to go with a Nismo.

yep id definately listen to him, its not like tim works for exedy or anything...

I dont think it can be any clearer then having someone from exedy telling you which of their clutches will best suit your application...

You can machine the flywheel but if the sping in it are stuff then you have to replace it. If not then it wouldn't be long before they do stuff up. the button will be good but not in traffic.

im just looking into replacing my current clutch Daiken (exedy) Heavy duty as ive got the box out and it looks pretty scorched and the bell housing was full off coolant so i think it might not be worth leaving in there.

was thinking an exedy sports organic or the cusioned button clutch

these prices from SAU
Heavy Duty Organic clutch kit, $395
Heavy Duty 5 Puk Button clutch kit, $455
Heavy Duty Cushion Button clutch kit, $455

supposedly these are made up of seco and NKK parts (owned by exedy)

what you guys think car sees a few track days, and hillclimbs each year, couple skids too. aiming to make 200wrkw when its back together

Exedy Heavy Duty Cushion Button clutch kit - 5 track days on my 180sx with 2871R and HKS 264 cams @ 16 psi/1.1 bar with Nismo 1.5 way (tt model) diff. 8) The car could be used as a daily with this clutch as it's that light but i use an S15 cause the box can't handle the power. (i.e. keep the S15 stock) haha :lol:

i wouldn't recommend the cushion button for drifting as it will only handle the abuse and heat for a little while maybe look at a heavy duty or sports organic...
