Hey have a question guy's, this a bit hard to explain, but my car is in Ireland, i live in Holland and am in Singapore at the moment, so cannot really comment or give what little knowledge I have!! The car has been off the road for the last 8 or so months but got the clutch changed out this weekend and this is the feed back i got from my friend, who changed the clutch.
The Exedy clutch you supplied was severely a race clutch ( very very extreme, similiar to a gt car!!!) there is no damper absorption whatsover!!, it must be driven in an on/off style no slipping or easing out clutch, it will quickly destroy the clutch. Anyway getting back to fact that there is no shock absorption it means a lot of shock gets transferred into gear box, higher damage possibility must be warned, anyways it is sending a large amount of vibrations through your box leaving a large backlash noise from box, it is simply down to the fact that there is no damping effect there anymore, in your case it seems louder than i have seen before, think maybe gearbox oil check/change or if it is possible to try a heavier race oil maybe?
So to me the prognosis is not great, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this, will it be ok if I change the oil or should i just put a totally different clutch in. Now ill not be driving it for another few months and have plans for a single conversion in the near future, hence the big badboy clutch.
All info and help is greatly Appreciated
