Clutch failed, need advice on new one

[Kahboom]

So like the title says my clutch failed this weekend. Now looking at purchasing another one currently looking at this one. https://www.americanmuscle.com/exedy-stage1-clutch-2015gt.html?full-product-details not sure if I need the slave cylinder or a flywheel or if the stock components are of to keep. Thanks for any input.

Do it all....

I’ve just gone through the whole process, when my Clutch disintegrated whilst on track.

Stock flywheel will not fully line up with the exedy face and it might be burnt up, the lightened flywheel will match the contact face exactly.
New throw out bearing, and slave... mine failed.
Replace all flywheel and pressure plate bolts for new.
Add braided clutch line and upgrade hose from reservoir to master connection.
See thread on here.

Also renewed fluids using Optimum Performance sync shift and Ate 200.

You are not the first to have a clutch go...

Where do I find the pressure plate and flywheel bolts?

LMR or others have everything for Clutch fittings.

Check out the Transmission and Drivetrain section.

A.M. link indicates
"Torque Rating @ Rear Wheels: 734 ft-lbs
high clamp load pressure plate for crisp yet smooth engagement and great wear.

not sure if that will result in a heavier clutch peddle.

I don't think you will get 734 lb ft out of a single disc, organic compound clutch. Particulary for $359. That A.M. link probably needs editing.

If you check exedy website, they offer an OEM replacement clutch. As well as their stage 1, enhanced organic compound to tolerate more heat, along with higher clamp loads, and that offers 498 lb ft. Stage 2 is Cerametallic, 587 lb ft.

I have an Exedy stage 3 and couldn’t be happier

 

[Kahboom]

Hmm so maybe stage 2 is the way to go.

Twin disc. End of story.

You do not need a new flywheel for exedy as long as yours isnt toasted. Verified by am staff twice

I used that clutch on my 15 when my clutch exploded after only 7k miles. I used the Mach 500 and the LW flywheel. Inserting the dows in the flywheel is a bitch. I suggest if you get the flywheel from Exedy to take it to a machine shop to have the dows pressed in before attempting the install (if your doing it yourself). Other then that the clutch is great, with the factory spring in the pedal it feels like the stock clutch with the Steeda spring. Worked great for me up until I traded the car in on my 18 A10. LOL
