Can I re-use my dual mass flywheel, because it cannot be resurfaced?

Dual mass flywheels must be replaced with the clutch kit assembly. EXEDY offers single mass flywheel conversion kits for some applications.

The height of the levers seem to be at different heights. Do I need to adjust the height?

No, there is no necessary adjustment. The cover bolts need to be untightened and then retightened in the correct pattern to set the levers evenly.

The shape is different from the genuine product. Can we still use without any problems?

Although the shape is different from genuine parts, performance will experience no problems. It is necessary to check the interchangeability of the product.

If the size is the same, can I use another part number?

Although the size may be the same, the performance of each item may be different. Please only use the specified application number and part.

We have installed the correct clutch to the vehicle, but we cannot disengage the clutch. Why does this happen?

Check the reference of the part number. Consider other reasons that are causing the problem.

Can you tell me the specifications?

There is a wire attached to the daiphragm spring, when can I take it off?

Once the clutch has been installed, please remove the wire. During installation the wire helps to keep pieces together for an easier installation. Please remove once installed.

Is the Stage 1 clutch disc the same as the OEM replacement clutch disc?

No, although they may appear similar, the Stage 1 Organic Disc uses a friction material that is better suited for heat and the abuse of racing. Also the dampening assembly of the clutch disc is upgraded to handle an increase in torque output as well as improved throttle response.
