Q:Do I need conversion parts from pull type to push type for EXEDY clutches?
A: EXEDY is configuring pull type clutch for the pull structure cars, so it is not necessary. Many of the other companies are only selling push type clutches. A conversion part is required to install that to the pull structure cars.
(Reference) Characteristics of the pull type clutch
(1) Disconnection of the clutch becomes more efficient because the warping of the cover by the force of the diaphragm spring generating the connection force is reduced by making the rigidity of the cover higher, and since the warping direction of the cover and direction of the release operation is the same.
(2) Since the disconnection of the clutch is efficient, it is possible to increase the lever ratio of the diaphragm spring compared with the push type, therefore the operational force of the lever can be reduced (lighter force on the pedal).
(3) With the EXEDY products, one-touch release equipment for the pull type release bearing is structured in the same way as the genuine clutches.
Q:Do I need special parts or processing when EXEDY clutch is installed?
A:The EXEDY clutches are designed as a bolt-on, so there is no need for special modification.
Q:Do I need to break in the clutch after replacing it?
A:Always perform the break in of the clutch. Only about 30% of the friction surface of the new clutch is in contact. The performance of clutch is exercised only when 100% of the friction surface is in contact. It depends on the condition it is used, but drive for about 500 km in the urban condition to break in the clutch. Repeat the starting with under 3000 RPM to break in the clutch. Frequency of the clutch operation and load is too low in the highway driving or changing the gears, and break in of the clutch will not take place. The point to make the clutch last is to break it in properly.
