aftermarket or oem clutch for itr?

[integraR]

Hey guys,
Currently my clutch on my itr is gone and i'm looking for an alternative (aftermarket) clutch instead of OEM since OEM is pricey.

I'm looking for an aftermarket clutch that is very similar to OEM meaning not heavy,
because I use my car as a daily to get around in the CBD traffic

Can you guys recommend me on what sort of aftermarket clutch that I should buy that's similar to OEM?

thanks

I've got exedy sports organic after my oem was gone. Its abit heavier at first but you get used to it and soon it feels just like oem lol. Got mine here in aus for ~$400 but read a few members got theirs from overseas which is cheaper

If you are looking to seriously tune your engine (I/H/E, tune/cams etc)... then get a HD clutch, if you are gonna keep it fairly stock, stick with a well-priced, quality OEM replacement.

excedy stage 1...feels VERY similar to OEM

They should alst 120 000 km + but it depends on how they are driven. My old DC2R has 140 000km on it and still felt it has plenty of meat left

you can get either an exedy OEM or Sports Organic Clutch

exedy OEM is just that - an OEM replacement which feels identical

SO is slightly heavier but still very driveable everyday through traffic
the benefit it is my durable and able to take more abuse should you go down and mod your car
partnered up with an exedy lightened flywheel you will be doing well

here's the part numbers:
PART # 08800B (CLUTCH KIT)
PART # HF01 (FLYWHEEL)

I'd look to ebay to buy these - can find them for under $500 plus shipping which is alot cheaper than locally



for those of you who have original dc2r's.....

what km's was the 1st clutch change?

still on original clutch and 140k kms

plenty of bite left and no slippage

[integraR]

thanks for all your input guys

anyways I purchased an OEM exedy clutch and getting it fitted in atm


for those of you who have original dc2r's.....

what km's was the 1st clutch change?

my current km's are 220 000 km not sure if it's the first or second change
but the worn out clutch is OEM

Ive got a 1999 original dc2-R with 110,000kms I recently opened my transmission and inspected the flywheel and clutch, they were still in immaculate condition, barely wear and tear and not a single tooth chipped.....I reckon it should do another 90,000kms, depends how you drive it :D

nice man

just proof that not all DC2Rs have been thrashed to oblivion..

lol

[Bludger]

yes, the good ones are held onto real tight.:)

[Mikecivic78]

I know it's not a DC2r, but my Em1 is still on original clutch. I get some cold start grumpyness on my first 2-3 shifts, but no slippage at 202,500 km.

because they have used it, liked it and therefore recommend it.

^^ Speaks the truth...
Depends on your intentions for your car as he said.... No need to spend the coin on a clutch your not going to do nothing with but day to day driving...
If you can get brand new OEM cheap then go for it otherwise do what others have said and get OEM replacement.

[specialst]

just get an oem replacement.
locally available are Clutch Industries brand and Valeo.
these guys make premium quality products which are also used in OE applications.
you cant go wrong with them when professionally fitted.

OP already got an OEM Exedy replacement :p
