Exedy Clutch Kits - Sports Tuff Organic (old) Racing Sports Organic (new)

[Davegsrjum]

Hi all

Some pics of my new Exedy racing sports organic clutch kit against my old sports tuff setup!

Tell me how it goes. .. I took out an Excedy clutch and replaced with a PB SportsTuff clutch because the Excedy wasnt holding the torque(brand new) .

I put in an Exedy Heavy Duty Sports Tuff clutch, been working great, been a few years as well, done 80,000 kms on it
Came in a pink box

The setup I pulled out had about 80,000 k's on it. Was working very nice with no slippage at all, not even when pulling a ton trailer and 300 odd kg in the tub! But I seem to have managed to break one of the 4 cushion springs out of the center! That's why I thought I'd try the racing sports with 6 springs and a heavier looking hub! Some more clamp pressure too with the heavier cover, tho that could just give me a sore leg...

A pink box is nice...

What is a "PB" sports tuff?

Cheers

The springs coming out of the centre is very common with Exedy !

Had one in a previous car of mine that did the same thing !

They are prone to rattling too!

Yeah mine use too rattle too! Hope they stay in this plate, it does look better made and somewhat heavier in the hub area.. Lets hope.. :unsure:

Mke sure to brace the firewall to stop it cracking under the extra pressure. They crack with stock clutches even

PBR Sports Tuff was what I was meant to say
The mechanic installed an Excedy and before Id even got 2km's down the road it was slipping as soon as I'd hit boost ( 2000rpm ) .. I realize it hadnt bed in properly but it got alot worse...took it straight back..it was fried.. faulty they rekon..Installed the PBR never looked back..out Launched an EVO VI on the way home

Had a look at your aluminium plate and also have Neil's template file! Thanks Neil. Has anyone had problems with the firewall still cracking with the plate in place? Cheers...
