New Clutch


Recommended Posts

As my clutch is nearing the end of its life, i want to upgrade my clutch. My wife learnt to drive manual in my car and i dont really want put a heavy duty clutch in because she doesnt have the experience and the clutch wont have the give that she needs. Is there a clutch that is a little better than stock but not as aggressive as a HD clutch?

Exedy HD clutch's drive just like a standard clutch.

They're a full face organic disc and the pressure plate has more clamp than stock.

i think she will get use to it, even if its a bit harder to drive, i learnt to drive with a high reving car(which i believe its harder to drive than normal manual car due to not much torque at lower end) and it took me just as much time as my friend try to learn with an excel, just put the HD clutch in and tell her its just an oem clutch :clap:

the exedy HD clutch pedal feel is actually softer than stock from my experience.

This has been the case in 3 sportivos here

that is indeed true yO

i remember northy having the exedy HD and the clutch was most definietly softer than the OEM one

was quite surprised to be honest

Guys I had a problem with engaging and disengaging of gears during normal driving! I have to leave the clutch and press again for a gear to take and that was at 2500-3000 RPM!! :(

Also to get gears in lift was almost impossible!!!

I thought the gearbox was damaged BUT i put and original TOYOTA CLUTCH KIT and skimmed the flywheel slightly!! AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!

To get gears in lift is no problem now and the gears are much smoother!! Man wat a difference!!!

I suggest any performance clutch kit or original toyota but dont put any aftermarket replacement stuff!!! you will definately regret it!!!

Did you replace the clutch yourself? Or did you have a workshop do it?

Clutch adjustment at the master is mandatory when you replace the clutch. Sounds like yours wasn't releasing.

How harsh is this on the gears? Because i know that the standard clutch has some play on the gears so it wont break anything

Can someone answer the above question please

Ive got an exedy in my 1zzfe ascent,I use this for weekend assaults in hillclimbs & its a daily drive as well,its a lil stiff at first but u dont have to worry about gearbox damage..ive no problems ive had it for eight months
