Exedy is the OEM clutch manufacturer for all 11 Japanese car makers as well as most Ford and GM cars. Their leading expertise in manufacturing both OEM and performance clutches makes Exedy a top name when it comes to performance clutch kit.
Designed for street and occasional track use, the Exedy Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit is built for an optimal combination of performance and drivability. It combines Exedy organic racing clutch disc with Exedy heavy-duty pressure plate. The heavy-duty pressure plate is more than capable to handle modified engines while Exedy’s organic clutch disc has spring-center dampers to reduce drivetrain shock and jerking when changing gears. The result is performance driving with comfortable gear shifting.
