Exedy clutch/pressure plate
Does anyone have this clutch?

Any reviews on it, how much stiffer would the clutch pedal be etc... anything about this clutch would be nice, I can't seem to find anything...

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
the stock clutch was as good as ****. ( the pressure plate was not able to hold the revs at all nor could it take a couple of clutch drops. I have the Stage 1 exedy clutch and its a world of diffrence.

what kind of mods do you have, I only ask because I know RX-8's with over 100 7000+ rpm drag launch drops on race tires that are still operating without issue on the OE clutch

I was asking eclps0 because of his comments, from what I've seen it will take a lot of abuse, not that it can't be burnt up, no organic disk will take being intentionally slipped for long ...

My friend has a EVO VII with the Exedy Hyper Single clutch. It handles 6000 rpm clutch drop launches without breaking a sweat. I got to try driving it and the pedal effort doesn't feel any different from stock. I'm now looking to change out the super stiff ACT clutch my other car has for the Exedy one.

I think you'll be happy with it in a stock car, yeah I meant to mention that the plate screws might of backed out on the OE clutch, I found a few undertorqued when I had the transmission out earlier in the year, that's happened to a few people

Alright, the car was towed to AAMCO at about 11AM, they just ran some diagnostics - tranny looks to be okay.
Tomorrow morning they are going to check out the clutch, which i'm about 99% sure is the problem. My new Exedy stage 1 organic clutch and pressure plate is coming in tomorrow, they might be able to have it installed by the end of the day, if not on Wednseday.
The clutch cost me $374 + 48 overnight, labor is $560 (70 x 8 hours)
This was such a tough blow on me, especially since I got the car 3 weeks ago... (used)

Clutch was UPS next day aired from California to New Jersey, expecting it at 10am, than going to the shop at around that time to have them put it in, hopefully by 1 or 2 im on my way.
