Flywheels
Lightweight One Piece Chromoly
EXEDY ywheels combine low weight, low inertia and
high thermal capacity. They are designed for lightly tuned
racing cars for drag racing, autocross and rally events, as
well as street usage. They are made from solid one-piece
billet chromoly steel or chromoly steel forgings. They are
specically designed to reduce weight and inertia for better
engine response. Most incorporate special design features to
enhance the airow which improves the cooling of the clutch.
The ring gear teeth are integrated onto the ywheel unlike an
aluminum ywheel where the ring gear is pressed onto the ywheel
and has the possibility of separating from the ywheel due to the dierent
expansion coecients of aluminum versus steel. EXEDY steel billet and forged steel ywheels have
passed engineering tests to 15,000-18,000 rpm. They are guaranteed not to fail to the said rpm, and
are all SFI approved.
Stage 2 — Cerametallic Friction Disc
EXEDY cerametallic clutches are designed to handle the abuse of high power modied engines.
Our cerametallic friction material can handle much more abuse than stock type disc assemblies
without slipping and fading.
All EXEDY Stage 2 cerametallic clutch discs have sprung center dampers to reduce the impact and
shock loads transmitted through the drivetrain. We oer two types of cerametallic discs, “thick”
and “thin.”
Stage 1 — Organic Friction Disc
Ultra Fiber Disc
This advanced facing material provides the high heat
resistance essential for motorsports. It was developed
by reviewing both the copper wire ratio and the
composition of the high strength ber. The
Ultra Fiber Disc maintains the superior half-
engagement feeling specic to the Organic
material. With improved high heat resistance,
it provides the functionality essential for street
performance and mild racing applications.
Organic Disc
Newly developed asbestos free friction facing
is used, which has high heat resistance and high
burst strength characteristics. No steel back is
required which can cause high RPM “lock-out” and/
or synchro damage. Superior in shift operations and
half-engagement feel, this clutch disc is recommended for
any sports/performance use.
Clutch Cover
These clutch covers are designed to achieve a clamping load that is approximately 40% higher than
the genuine part allowing a higher torque transmitting capacity. Ductile material is used for all
pressure plates and, high burst strength can be achieved in all temperature ranges.
Thick Disc
The “thick” discs have better heat
capacity and therefore better durability
in demanding applications. Even with
the “thick” disc, our three and four puck
designs typically have less inertia than a
stock disc and work well for street, rally and
track use.
Thin Disc
The “thin” discs oer greatly reduced
inertia to improve shift eort, allow
for quicker shifting, and improve
synchro durability. These discs are
approximately 1/2 the thickness of a
stock disc and are recommended for
circuit track use only.
