Just threw in exedy stage 1 clutch, and lightweight flywheel. Everytime i start the car now theres a loud whine. Then i noticed that the teeth on my old flywheel and the teeth on the exedy flywheel were completely different. Anyone have this issue?

 

What's different about them?

Sounds like they either sold you the wrong application, or they're not making it correctly.

I would be calling them asap.

 

Ha, I'm having exactly the same issue

 

different tooth count and diameter

stay away from exedy flywheels

 

Where have you two purchased your clutches? gripforce on ebay?

 

Yep, how'd you know, not the bisimoto one on the left though.
I found another solution perhaps. Are you having this same problem

the teeth are also shaped differently, one is just straight the exedy is angled.
try a nippon starter

 

Ahh I know now,
gripforce sells fake products
I spoke with exedy over the phone, they told me they sell real clutches but the flywheel is fake
Tey requested ppictures to see if it's authentic. If it is indeed fake I'm going to get my money back

 

wow I never knew that. I'm actually in the market for a clutch kit too. thanks for the heads up

 

They haven't responded yet, I will follow up, in the meantime don't buy any cluch on ebay

 

when i use to drive a 90' z32, everyone got their clutches from gripforce w/o any problems. i was gonna ask if they were the same for hondas. i guess i'll have to stick with oem.

 

the clutch is good, it's the flywheel that's bad. I removed that one and put in my BISIMOTO one, thing is a dream
The exedy shows where the starter was hitting.
I will ost pics so everyone will know to steer clear of exedy flyweels and opt for the fidanza or bisi flys
