vs
Clutch kit Exedy or VALEO
Exedy stock clutch kit will be a good deal cheaper (assuming these are OEM parts). Also, an ACT StreetLite flywheel is cheaper and a great alternative. I’ve had one for a couple of years and I have no complaints.
Pros: no complaints, great alternative
Cons: cheaper options available
Vehicle:
Subaru
I would recommend returning the FX250 clutch and getting the Valeo HD clutch kit. It wont rattle like the single mass aftermarket clutches, it holds more power than the stock clutch.
Pros: no rattle, holds more power
Vehicle:
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
I got the Valeo kit for my 325i, feels great. A little chatter on idle but not noticable when driving.
Pros: feels great, not noticeable when driving
Cons: little chatter on idle
Vehicle:
BMW
Excedy is OEM. I have one in my turbo car and it works great
Pros: works great, OEM quality
For 200-320 kW, we've had great success with the Exedy standard replacement kit + upgraded billet flywheel. It lets the disc use all its material without heat-sinking the flywheel which is common on oem flywheels, and we've fitted 100+ cars comfortably making 400 hp on stock gearboxes. customer feedback is the exedy standard replacement drives smooth like stock, holds power, keeps the driveline and gearbox together, shifts like butter at high rom, and has been super reliable.
Pros: smooth like stock, holds power, reliable, shifts like butter
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Lancer
Exedy Stage 1 upgrade; virtually same kit as OEM, except pressure plate is just a wee bit stronger than factory to help hold a tad bit more power (not that you'll need it, but it's a nice upgrade nonetheless); I personally liked the Exedy more for daily drivability
Pros: stronger pressure plate, nice upgrade, good daily drivability
Vehicle:
Mazda
Totally normal, been running a exedy stage 1 for 18k miles with this noise. Very pronounced in 5th gear 3k rpm to around 2.5k in my car
Cons: noise for 18k miles, pronounced in 5th gear
Mileage: 18000 km
This is normal. I'm running exedy clutch with their lightweight flywheel on my 2014 as well.
Cons: noise is normal
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
Motivated by being able to drive my daily driver again I just went with what the mechanic recommended, failed to do the research. Now regretting driving experience on replacement kit with exedy single mass flywheel, and it looks like they had a dual mass kit that was only like $100 more.
Somehow engages later than the failing factory clutch, and shudders. Haven't felt like such an idiot driving a manual in 22 years
Cons: engages later, shudders
Enjoy the new trans rattle for the life of the clutch, after I got mine , I really wished i would have went OEM, do research on the specific kit you choose and specifically search trans rattle or clutch rattle, find a quiet one if you can.
Cons: trans rattle, wished went OEM
