new clutch install

[BabyNSX]

got my new exedy performance clutch fitted over the weekend. the difference between it and the honda one is like night and day.
gear slection is fantastic, and changes can be made in an instant. can drop the clutch and wheelspin in any gear (so far i've tried 1st-4th so 5th is a maybe), only trouble is in heavy traffic as it can't really be ridden in 1st (this will improve slightly over time). much much better than the factory one, for less money. i'm happy

here's the old one


is that my gearbox lying there...


bright and shiny and ready to go in!

It looks like you got the new single plate one? Rather than the dual disc one, which has been a bit notorious.

Did you get it in the UK or from overseas?

[BabyNSX]

I got it from Amber Performance who imported it from Japan for me.

It is the single, they told me the dual disc was not very suitable for road use.

I had the twin plate Exedy - took it out again after just 2000 miles, I can personally testify that it was a nightmare for road use - shame I was practically 100% road driving at the time - would have been nice to have got some proper track experience with it in hindsight

Thanks for the post. Very interesting. Could you reveal the price you paid for the parts and what you paid for fitting? Most of us who trackday know it's only a matter of time before we'll need a replacement. Cheers, David.

parts cost c£1000 for the clutch kit + c£90 for the bearing from Honda.

Fitting was cheap as my mate did it. Can't disclose how much sorry!

..and your mate did it on the floor. Maybe I should of had a go at mine!

i should add that he is an experienced mechanic, he works on skylines at nissan and has rebuilt the engine on his rx7. he commented that a ramp would've been much easier.

.....did that £1000 include the flywheel?
