Performance Clutch

[Freebird]

Ok last Sept I bought an Exedy clutch for my 1996 MR2 GTS only just got round to fitting it and its too small, can someone please tell me when the clutch size changed?

Cheers

Would a 1995 US MR2 Turbo clutch be the same as a 1996 JDM MR2 Turbo clutch, any know for sure?

Could I suggest you PM Paul Woods at Woodsport. He would know.

He is on this forum but also on www.twobrutal.co.uk HTH.

Could it be that you have purchased/been sent a clutch for an NA by mistake?

[Dale_V]

a 3sgte clutch is the same for all revisions, a rev5 turbo clutch will fit a rev1 and vice versa, they're the same fitment

I suspect the clutch you have been supplied is for a 3SGE engine

[jasongtr]

if its for a 3SGE (so NA engine) the friction plate splines wont fit on the turbo gearbox shaft, so thats the best way to check

Ok thanks guys

21 splines on the turbo clutch and 270mm PCD on the bolt holes

and

20 splines 265mm PCD on the clutch I was provided

does this sound like an NA clutch?

[jasongtr]

does to me

Paddle clutches bad. Marf no like, bad medicine.

just hope its not too harsh.

If its anything like my 6 puck clutch itll be a bit of an 'on/off switch' they're hard to get used to

[Marf]

They don't last long in road applications either as they wear out fast when you slip them.

I had a three puck paddle on my charade turbo, lasted me 5000 miles of daily driving. 5000 hateful, horrible miles of juddering nastiness.

Sounds like the same one as i have, meant to hold silly levels of torque. However it's an absloute monster to operate. Also chatters quite viciously when setting off at revs below 2000 rpm

If it was my daily driver in England I'd either have legs like popeye or i would have changed it a long time ago.
