EXEDY is a Tier 1 OEM supplier to all major automotive and off-highway manufacturers across the globe, and even supply the products sold as "OEM" at local dealerships. The EXEDY Pro-Kit clutch assembly you will receive is manufactured on the same production line as OEM clutch components!
Clutch Covers:
Endure a precise robotic testing process to ensure proper clamp load and clutch lift separation for better drivability.
The diaphragm spring (dark fingers in the center) receives special high frequency induction heat treating. This helps prevent the wear that normally occurs at the contact surface of the release bearing and guarantees durability.
Provides a like-new pedal feel throughout the life of your clutch.
Clutch Discs:
Friction material is developed and manufactured by EXEDY engineers.
Material has exceptional friction and wear characteristics that will help engage smoothly, grip as expected, and provide a longer lasting installation.
Center disc spring dampers suppress engine and driveline noise by absorbing vibrations.
Organic vs. Kevlar vs. Ceramic Friction Disc - What Is The Difference?
The Friction Disc is a vital part of any clutch. It connects the pressure plate and flywheel, and is responsible for transferring engine power to the rest of the vehicle. Clutch Kits come with several different types of friction discs, and it is important to understand the pros and cons of each material:

Tips & Tools For The Job
Wear a Dust Mask to protect against hazardous clutch dust. You can also spray the clutch with water prior to removal to reduce the amount of airborne dust during disassembly.
Use a Flywheel Turner to hold the flywheel in place while removing and reinstalling the pressure plate bolts.
Apply Blue Threadlocker to flywheel bolts prior to installation to prevent backing out due to the high vibrations flywheels are subject to.
Use the provided lubricant to lightly lubricate the splines of the input shaft. Over lubricating the input shaft risks lubricant transfer to the clutch friction disc and can cause clutch slippage.
Be sure to install the new clutch friction disc in the correct direction. The disc will have a "Flywheel Side" label on one side.
