I dont know HOW the hell this happened....but wow

 

SUCKS! How long was it in there for?

 

SUCKS! How long was it in there for? ebay? Value clutch?

 

Not an ebay clutch. It was in for less than 1400 miles

 

Wow, that sux. Definately contact Exedy about that. I havent heard of anyone else with that problem.
My Exedy stills shifts fine.


On another note, do you always lay your wheels face down on the ground like that? Your not worried about scuffing them up?

 

Send it back and get a new one, thats a defect.

Dixit

 

I'm sorry to hear about that - at least you have the know how of installing and troubleshooting clutches. That's terrible...this was stage 2, right? I'm glad that my 5th gen setup has worked without a hitch [knock on wood].

 

Meh, my tires are pretty thick...the rim doesnt even touch the ground.

 

Is this the same disc as the eBay one? I got the eBay kit, and the disc is an Exedy, but the PP is offbrand. I don't know if I want to put it in with my 3.5

 

I have no idea if it's the same. This disc resembles an ACT disc....almost.

 

I got an eBay Exedy kit as well - still uninstalled. The clutch cover has the Daikin/Exedy stamp on it, but the disc does not. It looks much different from Bijan's, actually. The only stamping on my disc is "SECO," and I have no clue what that's all about.

 

1400 miles and that happens umm seems like yu unlucky dude yu got that one defective clutch out of a thousand or so

 

So why didn't it work?

 

That sucks, send it back to them and demand for a new one. maybe you should go with ACT clutch kit.

i notice something, Did you cover the lable with black marker on the clutch? or it came like that? that could the reason why yours went bad. You can mention that to them.

 

sorry man. send it back for a new one but i would advise getting a 5th gen clutch and selling the replacement they send you

Man i need you up here look how easy you got that tranny offf

 

damn thats bad. . . glad you atleast found the problem. Do they have a warantee on clutches?

 

yea they warranty the clutch...they have to 'inspect it' themselves. THEN send me a new one.

zack - i took everything off by myself today, i know you can do it.

my only problems now are the drivers side axle doesnt want to go in, and the slave cylinder is being a b*tch when trying to line up the 2 bolts.

Ahhh what a day

 

bijan is this the clutch you bought supposed to be the exedy stage 1 racing ? there seems to be some confusion on several of the different exedys that are for sale ?

The one I bought is titled "Exedy Stage 1 clutch kit" from www.clutchexpress.com

I put a SPEC stage 1 in...just finished up. And BY GOD the fACKIN car GOES INTO GEAR NOW!!!!1

Im tired as hell...

 

it's good for you.

 

Please pardon my ignorance, but will this cause any permanent damage to the tranny? I have a stage 1 from a GD awhile ago (about 5k on it now) in there. If it just means the clutch might have to be replaced sooner than expected then I won't worry about, but if it could kill my tranny then I would like to know now. Thanks for indulging my stupidity .

 

i have a Exedy Stage 1 clutch too...i put about 3000 miles on mine and it still run well....knock on wood...hope it stay like that for a long long long time....!

 

Terran....I doubt it.

 

slammed95 had the same think happen to his clutch (not sure the brand).

 

That clutch looks a bit glazed over too. Not good for 1400 miles and it not having to hold alot of power, but it could just be the pic angle.

 

I have regular Exedy for well over 10K now. So far no problems. That's definitely a defect.

 

Yea, most likely cuz it's a shatty camera, and too much light
It's gona be shipped out to EXEDY tomorrow...Ill see what they have to say

 

My friends maxima had the same problem with his clutch also from exedy. Thats kinda weird. Oh well at least you have the warranty to cover you.

 

man that sucks. i plan on going with act. any updates on what exedy said?

 

The same exact thing happened to mine, sorry to hear it happened to you as well.

 

wow breaking cushion springs in 1400 miles. i think there is a problem with your pressure plates. warranty.
