As title suggestions. I want to know if anyone here has this clutch as a DD. What's your feedback on it?

Is it easy to drive? Do you drive in the city?

I've been told all kinds of **** from some people and just bench talk and want to know if someone can provide facts.

thanks in advance.

 

I daily and Exedy Stage 2 with like a 9lb flywheel with no problems. If I were only doing daily driving I would have definitely gotten the Stage 1 because it is effortless to make smooth shifting and acceleration with a full face design.

 

Anything that's a sprung hub organic full face will drive easily. It's the unsprung puck clutches and the metallic full face race clutches that get harder to DD. I drove a Southbend metallic, unsprung, full face clutch in my DSM and it was okay after a few thousand miles.
It's all about how much you want your power to hold at higher levels (600+). If you're not making big power just stick with an organic based sprung hub clutch like an Exedy stage 1 or 2. Chances are I'll go with an Exedy stage 2 or something equivalent beacuse I want something that isn't a pain to drive everyday, but will hold up to more abuse than an OEM.

 

I use this daily and HPDE track. It is only mildly more pedal force than stock, I actually prefer the Stage 1 pedal feel. Works fine city, freeway, and stuck in traffic. Of course any clutch is not really fun in start and stop traffic. I kept the stock flywheel, though I would probably go lighter if I had it to do over. Saved money at the time.

 

i have the exedy stage1 and it feels like a stock clutch to me about 12k miles and its never slipped , granted i dont have much power but i beat on my car just about everyday shifting at 9k rpm regularly

 

yeah i would add to the rest of the guys, stage 1 no matter what brand it is ( i think) would be perfect to daily.

 

I've used an Exedy stage I with an ITR PP in a mildly modified B16, daily driving - absolutely no issues and have no problems recommending this to anyone. Stock like clutch feel, grabs well.

I don't believe all stage 1 clutches are built equally well.

 

Exedy stage 1 is considered by many to be the best daily driver clutch available for our cars.

 

Yes it is.

Just wanted to update this and provide whoever searches my final results.

The moment I picked up the clutch it was pretty firm. However that only lasted 4 weeks.

Now that it's been worked in I can't find the difference between the stock and exedy clutch engaging sync (clutch, to gas to shifter).

Now this may just be my inexperience talking, but I feel the car pulls much better!

Recommend buy for anyone looking for a new clutch on their FG2 or any car for that matter.
