I really am going to do a mod before the end of financial.

i also want a lightweight flywheel.

But i like the feel of my stock clutch.

So should I just get the exedy flywheel and can i use this with the OEM clutch? My clutch has only done 45000kms.

I put on an exhedy heavy duty clutch its a rougher ride cost me around $800 for the clutch and $600 for the install...... The ckutch seems to not be disengaging is what my mechanic tells me!!!! thats around about 25k-35k later its around 18months old. i am thinking of going back to original!!!!

Is the bite point at the bottom of the floor? Have you bled your clutch fluid? After bleeding, if you still have the same problem, try adjusting the pushrod which goes into your master cylinder.

I'm a bit wary of doing this, because exedy flywheels being sold for the K24A/TSX could be the part for the K20A. If that is the case, you will need a matching K20A flywheel.

yeah thats exactly what the mechaic said!!! its biting like at the bottom of the floor hence his interpretation of not disengaging i think. Also when the car is pushed from first to second at aroun 6500 rpm the gears doesn't go in and just crunches.!!!!

u could try the fidanza flywheel, they work with the oem clutch im pretti sure

Im very tempted to get the Fidanza witht he stock oem clutch since mine done no work.

i am concerned about the exedy needing a tougher clutch as mine a daily driver and my missus will not like a tough clutch.

Bleed the clutch slave cylinder first. It is just in front of the radiator overflow tank, underneath the intake manifold. If that doesn't help, ask the mechanic to adjust the push rod which goes into the clutch master cylinder.

Nope, you don't need a tougher clutch. You can get an OEM spec clutch with an OEM spec pressure plate.

Fidanzas are 2 piece. Be aware of that.

If you move the bite point about 1/4 from the bottom. it should help since the input shaft won't have powered when you press the clutch. But if it is a synchro grind and not a gear grind, I'd recommend you to change your MTF. What happened to your left drive shaft? Is it bent?
