The EXEDY Hyper Single Series clutch is engineered to optimize the performance of cars that are moderately modified, but do not require the clutch capacity of a multi-plate clutch. Similar to the multi-plate, the Hyper Single clutches have a purple anodized, forged aluminum cover. The aluminum cover is stiffer than a stamped cover and therefore allows a higher lever ratio to maintain the pedal efforts at a reasonable level. There is no clamp load deflection as found in a pressed metal type cover. Additionally, the pressure plate features a series of turbine-like, air flow enhancing vanes that keep the clutch cooler under extreme operating conditions to improve wear life.
All Hyper Single clutches come with a chromoly steel flywheel and are normally supplied with a 6-puck cerametallic facing and a spring center damper disc assembly. However, on select vehicles, the new VF (Various Friction) disc may be offered. The chromoly flywheel is lighter than OEM for improved engine response, and a lighter overall assembly. The disc is generally smaller and thinner than the OEM disc making for lower inertia and therefore quicker, easier shifting and less wear and tear on the transmission synchros. The higher clamp load and cerametallic friction facings give approximately twice the holding torque of the OEM clutch and higher than other single disc clutches.
Features & Benefits:
Uses stamped aluminum cover for increased stiffness, reduced weight (up to 50%), and higher level ratio for softer pedal effort versus stamped steel
Uses thinner 6 puck cerametallic sprung hub centered disc for low inertia, higher friction coefficient, lower wear, and increased durability
Includes a one piece chromoly flywheel (eliminates the possibility of teeth separation or warping and designed to reduce weight and inertia for better engine response)
Total weight (including flywheel) is 25-30% less than the stage 1 kit
Tips & Tools For The Job
Wear a Dust Mask to protect against hazardous clutch dust. You can also spray the clutch with water prior to removal to reduce the amount of airborne dust during disassembly.
Use a Flywheel Turner to hold the flywheel in place while removing and reinstalling the pressure plate bolts.
Apply Blue Threadlocker to flywheel bolts prior to installation to prevent backing out due to the high vibrations flywheels are subject to.
Use the provided lubricant to lightly lubricate the splines of the input shaft. Over lubricating the input shaft risks lubricant transfer to the clutch friction disc and can cause clutch slippage.
Be sure to install the new clutch friction disc in the correct direction. The disc will have a "Flywheel Side" label on one side.
