i put in an exedy racing clutch in my rex with a b16a1 that i bought from clutchcityonline.com for $230 (disc, PP, throwout and pilot bearing). it does grip good but it is very stiff, so stiff that i actually have lower back pain and my left knee hurts? i thought that everyone liked this clutch and that it was supposed to feel like stock? what is my problem?

 

you are weak.

 

i've had two other people feel it and they both say it is way too hard. is this just how they are? if this is how they are supposed to be i would think they would suck *** for racing.

Or your going to launch like a CHAMP!!!

 

what? having a stiff pedal will make you bogg?

 

I guess what im getting at is...is this how the clutch is supposed to be or is mine messed up? if it is supposed to be like that then why would you want it so stiff?

 

your clutch cable might be messed up. pulling at a wrong angle, or its just old

 

well my clutch cable just snapped so i guess i'll find out what a new one will do. hope it helps

 

Oh yeah, the additional clamp force comes at a price. I had the same effect on my car. You might as well get used to it because it doesn't get any better with time

 

so yours was hard as hell to push in too? i was hoping my cable was just fucked up but maybe thats just how the clutch is? i was hoping it would FEEL like stock but just grip better.

 

i dont know, but siince you were saying it was really tight. Then the cable breaks, I dont konw if its me but it seems like the two were related.

 

i replace my clutch cable and now the clutch feels like it is supposed to . i can't believe that old clutch cable made my clutch that hard. now it is easy to pust in and still crips awsome. i can already say i love this exedy clutch. my car is so awsome to drive now

 

yep i got a exedy street strip clutch with a new flywheel and clutch cable and i love it. chirps 4th gear in sohc non vtec all day long can burn out real hard

 

glad to hear that cuz, I getting an Exedy racing clutch in my B18b on tuesday installed and I heard they were good to. I'm glad to hear that you got it workin well

 

i'm bout to pick up a excedy stage two or whatever for my near stock b16

my buddy just put one in his zc and talked about it grabbing really nice, chirp/spin 3rd etc.

 

Yeah, mine will chirp 4th gear on the sticky *** track....my pedal feels the same as it did with stock clutch/pp.
