CLUTCH COVER ASSEMBLIES in Exedy clutch kits are manufactured
on the same production line that the OEM products are made on. All cover assemblies
made have been robotically tested for clamp load and clutch lift separation
to ensure optimal pedal feel for engagement and disengagement. The diaphragm
spring has been hardened to reduce clutch thrust bearing wear on the contact
surface. All this will deliver a new car pedal feel.
CLUTCH DISCS which are manufactured to OEM Daikin/Exedy standards
renowned worldwide for extensive durability and wear. Advanced engineering features
such as ‘WAD’ Wide Angle Dampers, and ‘LTD’ Long Travel
Dampers that are patented worldwide to suppress noise and vibration issues.
These patented functions are not available from any other manufacturer worldwide.
These patented functions along with the Exedy renowned UF 71 and UF 91 clutch
friction material make one of the best OEM replacement clutch disc in the market.
CLUTCH THRUST RELEASE BEARINGS in Exedy clutch kits are of
highest quality sourced from the best manufacturers in the world. Every clutch
thrust bearing has been tested for durability to obtain maximum life. A continuous
running test with load on the bearing is carried out for over 200 hours running
time. Exedy Globalparts guarantees all clutch thrust bearings in clutch kits
marketed in the United States.
CONCENTRIC THRUST BEARING SLAVE CYLINDERS (when applicable) in Exedy clutch
kits are of highest OEM replacement standards, we have an association with FTE™,
who is the major supplier of CSCs, to vehicle manufacturers around the world.
Organic vs. Kevlar vs. Ceramic Friction Disc - What Is The Difference?
The Friction Disc is a vital part of any clutch. It connects the pressure plate and flywheel, and is responsible for transferring engine power to the rest of the vehicle. Clutch Kits come with several different types of friction discs, and it is important to understand the pros and cons of each material:
Clutch Disc Material
Smooth Engagement
Holding Power (Friction "Grab")
High Torque Capacity

Tips & Tools For The Job
Wear a Dust Mask to protect against hazardous clutch dust. You can also spray the clutch with water prior to removal to reduce the amount of airborne dust during disassembly.
Use a Flywheel Turner to hold the flywheel in place while removing and reinstalling the pressure plate bolts.
Apply Blue Threadlocker to flywheel bolts prior to installation to prevent backing out due to the high vibrations flywheels are subject to.
Use the provided lubricant to lightly lubricate the splines of the input shaft. Over lubricating the input shaft risks lubricant transfer to the clutch friction disc and can cause clutch slippage.
Be sure to install the new clutch friction disc in the correct direction. The disc will have a "Flywheel Side" label on one side.
