Got a few quotes today, for an Exedy clutch you're looking at around $400 for a heavy duty one, and eXtreme around $500.

See here dude: http://www.exedy.com.au/products2.asp?t ... rts%20tuff Also have a look around the site, is a great site. So what's your old clutch up to anyway, is it slipping, shuddering etc?

the extreme heavy duty was a quote from coventries, $518 but said he could do it for $490. $400 for an exedy heavy duty was from "Auto brake service" in Ossy park. ph. 9444 9911. The guy there was really helpful, he spent like 10 minutes on the phone to me just explaining hwat kind of clutches would be best for what i wanted. He seemed to think exedy are the way to go, extreme are still good but a little more expensive.

I got a PBR RPM race series thing in mine, absolute s**t I reckon. Waste of cash. Prefer the Exeedy or Hard Core clutch anyday!! Slips likle a C*** and feel like a sponge.
Kit put thru, new cable, machined flywheel, the works. Will be swapped very very shortly.

i first noticed it was stuffed when i put it in 3rd down at willowbank, and it slipped down to it's rpm (if that makes sense). it is starting to shudder more than usual now too.

G'day
Mines clutch in my xf had been shuddering on take off for about 6months now. On thursday morning within 30km on the way to work it went from shuddering on take off (not slipping at all) to completely slipping and not being able to move the car  .
I paid 200 for my PBR rpm heavy duty clutch kit 2 weeks ago. I'll let you know in a few days what i think. After removing the cactus one 2day i found that it was all ready an rpm heavy duty, i love this clutch. Its either in or out, easy to operate and is fairly light. I hope the new one is the same. Cheers

it's on the car now. havn't started the engine yet though. you must use a V8 clutch with that flywheel, when ordering it you have to ask for a light wieght neultral balance EFI windsor flywheel i used an exedy sports tuff clutch, %40 more pressure then stock exedy XR8 the difference is huge, you need two hands to pick up the stock flywheel, you can screw a bolt into the yella terra one and pick it up with one finger!!!! |

sounds good.
it would be interesting how much extra power the light flywheel would make.

ah ok, i thought it would pick up a bit more power, being that you also lose some through your driveline.
but yeah keep us posted on how it goes, i may have to get one
