im glad i read this thread, im putting the exedy twin in my evo 9 and im glad to see it holds up for a decent amount of miles.

 

32K on the Twin. Could have gone more (had less than 50% left) but upping the HP and decided to rebuild it while everything was apart.

 

I went 30k on my act 4 puck with 450t and about 15 launches. Im putting a exedy triple in now so when its time to rebuld I will post back.

 

how come people can have so much mileage in it? i heard it'll give up after 10-15k miles

 

Have only had mine for 700 miles lol still no problems

 

on the side note, i have only about 300ish awhp, and have done about 17k on this clutch. and it is now slipping pretty bad

is that because:
1. my driving sucks
2. it is not designed to handle the power the car is currently making
3. combination of both


sorry to get off topic but im curious lol

 

Driving style and habits are huge in how long this clutch lasts, so look at that first.

Your well under the max rated power it can handle.

 

Given the three, the obvious choice is 1.

However, it's not necessarily that your driving sucks, as project_skyline correctly pointed out, it is mostly down to your driving style. I had a '90 Geo Prizm (read: Corolla) that I put 150,000 miles onto the stock clutch. I don't launch my cars hard, but once I'm rolling, I pound on it pretty good. I don't drag race the car, but I do road race it. Given my driving habits I would expect to get at least 40K out of the Exedy. I was well on my way to getting 60K plus out of my stock clutch, but unfortunately the TOB crapped out.

If you like to launch your car off the line a lot, then your clutch is going to suffer... If you have a habit of riding the clutch (i.e., resting your left foot on it), then your clutch is going to suffer.

im at close to 50k miles with mine and need a rebuild...

im running the Cusco Twin with the exedy rebuild...i bought it used with a brand new rebuild kit...

im trying to see if its worth it to upgrade from the twin to a triple?

or should i just rebuild it again...and only replace the two disks? or the pressure and intermediate plate too?

 

Depends on how much power you are making and if you don't like something about the twin. I find the triple fairly easy to drive, although still more difficult than stock obviously and I know I don't have to ever worry about it slipping.

I can't say how the twin performs as I have never used one.

 

I have 80,000+ on my ACT, so I think 70 is definitely do-able.

 

I have about 10k miles on my twin with 10-20 launches at the strip. I love this clutch. Great for every day use and racing. Im going to see how it looks when I pull the motor in about a month or so.

 

HOLLY FUG ERIK!!!

I have 7k on my Triple

do triples last longer than doubles?

 

I doubt there would be a big difference. The extra plate is more for handling higher torque, not to last longer. I guess you could try to argue that the extra plate helps distribute the work across more surface area, thereby reducing the wear for each disc, but I don't know if it translates into a real world noticeable result.

I was pretty impressed that my first triple took around 300 launches at the strip and still went 40k miles though. Given back then I was probably only making around 400-430hp or so.
