Exedy Clutch?

Eeek - Ordered a clutch for my 2005 6-speed engine and have only just noticed that the advert states it is for the 5-Speed.

Is this a problem, or are the clutches the same?

unless you have a burnt out clutch and its cheaper than oe.

I'm putting a Renesis and 6 Speed Box into my Caterham. I have an engine and box, but no clutch!

The OEM Exedy clutch is not that same as the Exedy Stage 1 upgraded clutch, however

The standard Exedy one is fine for my needs - the car only weighs 850 pounds, so there's not a great deal of resistance!

Aaaaand, at $160 it's CHEAP (especially since we are getting $2 to the pound right now!).

We've got a standard one here with just a few hundred miles on it IIRC you could have had cheap

Rotherham scootz, we took it out of our Renesis unit, which has done ~1000 miles looking at the paperwork with it.

I can get you a photo if you wish.
