Exedy.

Pfft exedy are crap at best. Talk to Jim Berry and get him to make you one up, he should be able to do something for $700, just tell him what you were hoping to spend

how long would it take to get a clutch built? as i need it by wednesday.

Wouldnt have it by wednesday, but by friday you will be pulling the exedy one out

ok. do u kno wat sought of clamping force i will need to hold the power?

By the time you send up for clutch to Jim Berry & receive it will probably be a couple of weeks lol. I don't know. But if your after a clutch quickly only other option would be exedy or xtreme.

just buy my quad plate it will never slip lol think you will find that any single plate clutch off the shelf apart from the nice os giken ones etc with billet flywheels etc are **** try jim berry or npc etc somewhere that will put a good one together for you

yeah i second that, dont buy a excedy. mine lasted a day or two before it started slipping under load.

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

no i cant and i doubt you can get one built fast either but i would rather wait than put a exeedy in for nothing

My first and only dealing with JB took 1-2months to build and the clutch was a disaster.

in what way was it a disaster? a "full monty" clutch he said retail was $1200, i just spoke to him today.

im currently running a "direct" (brand) twin plate, cost slightly under the price of a jb twin plate/flywheel package for a similar thing. i believe direct are the suppliers of parts to exedy or the other way round (its purple lol). anyway, havent had any problems yet, probably should have gone JB for the piece of mind, but i can say that i have launched it once or twice and have really hit into gears hard with it and theres no sign of wear yet. however its not a greatly streetable clutch, quite heavy and very grippy.

ended up wit a ceramic button. just need it to get the car tuned n have some fun. b4 the reg runs out. then pull it all out again to put it in a much nicer shell. so if anybody has a complete vl rolling shell in mint condition (prefer berlina). pm me i will b on the hunt in a month or so.

let us know how long it lasts for

so what clutch to get for a n/a will will more then likly have a hard life only wanna spend $400 or some where there
