I have them in all my Toyota’s. They’re an excellent brand and manufactured in Japan.
Owner reviews for clutch kit
55k miles on my exedy pro street clutch kit and luk flywheel in my 96 obs and still feels fantastic.
having the engine back in and bolted up the weight of the clutch pedal is SUBSTANTIALLY better and it now feels like a commuter car’s clutch pedal rather than a leg press.
Mudei na minha carrinha em Novembro/2024 (curiosamente tamb\u00e9m Focus 1.6tdci) e paguei no total 670\u20ac. \nNa fatura vem descriminado o kit com o valor de 440\u20ac (LUK) e o restante para m\u00e3o de obra.
Unless you're planning to boost it any time soon, I wouldn't bother getting anything other than the Exedy Stock clutch kit and flywheel. It's significantly cheaper and will do everything you need.
I actually put an Aisin 5VZ clutch kit and flywheel in and its a much heavier feel, which has been nice for the trails. I highly recommend doing the shifter bushing while you are at it as well.
In my case, I did a clutch upgrade when going Unitronic stage 2 - at 8k miles. At the time I had settled on HSTuning's 'RSR' clutch, but then the tuner friendly dealer suggested "Have you heard of or considered TTRS OEM built clutches? You may want to consider it as a cheaper and just as good if not better option. " HSTuning's RSR Clutch had a lot of good reviews at the time I was reading up about clutch upgrades. Ended up doing the dealer's suggestion. Since then the car is now Stage 2+. Meaning EQT Vortex (not XL) big turbo and a COBB E-Tune plus full bolt-on-supporting mods (done at 22k miles). The car is at 85K Miles now. No complaints. Still holding at WOT. Then again, I don't drive it aggressively much. And I am not putting mileage on it like before when I had a commute. The parts they listed. 2010-12155 DISC 07K-141-015-BX CLUTCH KIT I also did the ECS clutch bleeder block, and a clutch stop. Car seems OEM to me as far as pedal effort, stop and go traffic is not an issue.
The stage 1 grabs a bit more quickly and the pedal is heavier. (I've driven with a stage 1 exedy on a type s for about 20 years). With that being said, I don't think it's a huge difference in terms of actual real-world times of 0-60 or 0-100 times.
I recently had my 2011 Smart Fortwo 451 (1.0 turbo) serviced to replace the clutch and actuator, and I wanted to share my experience. What We Replaced: -Clutch kit (Sachs, OEM) -Clutch actuator (OEM). The old clutch was clearly worn, and the release bearing was almost failing. However, the dual-mass flywheel seemed fine, with no excessive play or noise. After installing everything, the mechanic performed the clutch re-adaptation with a scanner. I finally got my Smart Fortwo 451 (1.0 turbo) back on Friday after replacing the clutch and actuator, and I can definitely feel a big difference. Here are a few things I’ve noticed: 1. Gear changes feel slightly smoother. 2. Weird air sound when accelerating in first gear. 3. The car seems eager to shift but sometimes unnecessarily downshifts.
Sorry to burst this bubble, that I was hoping to benefit from, but I ordered from Rock Auto, it arrived today, and the Sachs kit is no longer an FCC friction disk with caged springs. The springs are no longer caged like OEM. The pressure plate also, although it looks similar is also not marked as FCC, both are just marked with weird Sachs part numbers that don't co-relate with any searches that I have done, but they do match the numbers on the outside of the Sachs box it shipped in. Both bearings are still marked as Nachi and Japan. The Sachs box says made in Japan on the outside, but the design of the friction disc is different and there is no FCC branding on either the disk or the plate. I'm not sure how much I missed this deal by, but I was gutted to find out this is no longer the deal that it was. Returning it tomorrow.
