has anyone used an exedy clutch? All my manual cars have spec clutches in them and they are great, but the cavalier is really just a toy and it doesnt have to have a spec clutch.
I run a 50 shot on the cavi, would it be wise to get the spec setup or save 100 and get the exedy for 150.
No comparison here really. Exedy sucks for the j-body. Go with spec.

idk how they are with j body's, but i rode in a then drove my buddies b16 crx with an exedy stage 4 clutch. hes only got the basic bolt ons like i/h/e. the dash looks/sounds likes gonna break. it chirps 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. its a lunitic clutch. makes me with they made them for my eco. but like i said, thats for a honda. i cant speak how they are for cavaliers.
i can get the spec stage 3 for 250, might as well get the flywheel too......
I have an Exedy in the Subaru, I love it. I have a Spec in the Cavy, I love it too. I dunno, I would try the cheaper one. If you're only gonna run a 50 shot, any reputable company's clutch kit should hold fine, and Exedy is defenitely a good company.

as far as feel how does the exedy compare to stock?

????? please due tell where i can find one that cheap?
Very similar, but I only have a stage I in the Suby. Then again my Spec Stage II feels like the stocker too. It definately doesn't slip with the juice like the stocker though.

hey nitro. could you get like a spec II or III clutch, but get a more aggressive pressure plate? that would be the cause of the more harsher ingagement.
Who said anything about harsh engagement? I said both my cars clutches fell like stock. I suppose you could get a stronger pressure plate, but I personally don't see the need.

i did. my buddies exedy in his crx is lunitic. but i remember reading something on the net about act or bully offering an upgraded pressure plate with their clutch.

Hell the stocker slips when i power shift it on motor, and i want to spray it this summer. oh well guess im going with spec 3 being its the same price as the 2.
thanks guys
^^^^^^^^ but doesn't last as long, and I spray 100 shot on my Stage II without a problem....

you have the internals for the nitrous, or just sprayin and waitin
Stock internals, no worry here. It takes over 700 passes before things get hairy if everythings done right.

yeah i had a 175 shot on my stock internal lt1 car, engine was fine, the g92 6 speed puked..... Nitrous is the greatest

how much less life are we talkin about if both cars are drove equally?? like street and raced every now and then. i know there was another post that said like 25k at the track, but i dont plan on beating on my car every single day. but a clutch that could hold 275 whp would be good. i like the harsh engagement of my buddies exedy, but i dont need a stage 4 clutch.. there is no way i plan on pushing 350whp+
nitro, when you ordered your stage 2, where at and how much? also, was there different pressure plates you could get?
I would think the street driving would lower the life of the clutch for all the stop and go, where as on the track; other than launching you use too much clutch
Carcustoms.net Talk to Karo and he'll give you the lowdown on the clutch life expectancies.

nitro, how many miles have you been sprayin the hundred shot with that clutch? or been beating on your car?
Oh, about 15K. Last time I had the trans out, it still looked like new.
<img src=http://ourworld.cs.com/jwithspray/Jbeier_sig3.JPG>
so 15k on it with 75 and 100 shots. not slippage at all yet?have you had any problems? what made u go with a stage 2 instead of a stage 3???
No problems what so ever, and I already said I went with the stage II to get more life out of it. And even if you're running massive N20 shots, I see no reason to go any higher than stage II, unless maybe you're running slicks. But in that case, you'd better have a Quaife diff and stronger axles, or the clutch won't be the weakest link. Come to think of it, even the stage II isn't the weak link in my setup, the diff still is.
