I have this issue too. My stage 1 did something similar, though not as often, so I never thought much of it. I only have a few thousand miles on it so far, and was broken in as per instructions. Also greased the splines with the included grease as per instructions as well.

I guess my question is then...

Why is clutch dust build up an issue on aftermarket clutches and not on the factory one? Seems odd pointing to dust specifically.

Not doubting there is an issue here with aftermarket setups vs stock, clearly there is. Just seems odd that dust would be the culprit on an aftermarket and not factory disc.

Exedy Stg. 2 tolerances seem to not be right for the input shaft (too tight)....

Given how tight those tolerances are to begin with, I would imagine it would be damn near impossible to get the transmission seated without a lot of force. Which someone should have taken as being wrong to begin with no?

The tolerance between the input shaft and the hub of the clutch disk is what I'm talking about.

Let me ask you, if it's not dust or tolerances, what do you think it is?

Because the other thing that can make a clutch drag is a bad pressure plate.

Again, consider this is not 1 or 2 random people with issues, this is "I know more than 10 people with the same clutch (between forum and locals) and all of them have the issue at some point".

just ordered the stage2 clutch

A guy with a centerforce clutch also had the same issue.

marcoaferrer · 10-06-2014, 02:06 PM

The other thing to take into consideration is the type of dust. Organic friction disk residue vs. cerametallic. Also exedy states that the break in period is crucial because on a newly fitted clutch only 30% of the fiction material is making contact. So i would imagine there would be a lot of dust generated merely from breakin

What I was speaking of as well.

I don't know, bad pressure plate seems more likely than dust IMO.

I'm not discrediting the issue at all here, just throwing ideas and my own opinions out.

@jher I was about to order this clutch this week. I guess I'll have to hear from you as well as follow this thread. I'm also curious about alternatives that people find that work.

Yeah I would waited it out until things get sorted out or fix. Xerious ask CSGMike what clutch is he running?
