as i am bout to put a new motor in my vit soon i putting in a new clutch just wondering if it is ok to put in a heavier duty clutch or do they have problems like a wrx and blow the gearbox to pieces?

I will sell you an exedy thats done 4 months work for $50

even in that 4 months I hardly used it cause most of the time the clutch cable was broken or about to break, I went through 4 or 5 cables in this time

now I have a standard exedy clutch and no more problems

[shep]

i had a H/D RPM clutch that was the same as royces. my 1.6 with stock 1.3
clutch gave no problems and i towed very heavy trailers.

Exceedy sports tuff h/d in my Gv & am on the 4th, 2 have been replaced under parts warranty but I had to supply the labor.

Go std or got a clutch made up, don't get a out of the box kit!!!

i want to throw the whole kit in. i got a price on a pbr heavy duty for $162 or $125 for a std pbr from repco i almost fell over the best price i have ever got from repco. so thats the only problem with them the cable brakes cause i just got that fixed the car used mine as an earth and snapped it. there is a guy on the sunshine coast that puts new cable through the old liner for $40

I wouldnt bother with an HD clutch to be honest. In my 1.6 conversion im running teh same half worn standard sierra clutch that came with the 1.3, its never slipped on me.

Every cable I broke broke the outer not the inner

they also shudder like buggery and are pretty annoying in traffic (for the 15 mins till the cable dies)

i was getting 5 or 6 gear changes and then busting the cable.

Another vote for standard exedy.

My 2nd clutch shuddered from first take of then the pressure plate started failing at 250km, lasted 7500km before it shat completely.

[birko]

Ive had a hd exedy for a while with no problems? Is ok for pressure as well?

[royce]

I think the common sierra one is fine

the vitara one might be ok in the earlier model but crap in the later version (different pedal setup)

[greenzook89]

So just go standard exedy??

[banga]

will do thanks for that big help saved me some coin to
