Another great video! Being able to do my own maintenance will save me tons of mechanic cash, and more money towards replacement parts. and gives me an excuse to build my tool collection! Helps to understand my evo and keep it running for years to come
i love watching these videos, i dont own an evo 8 or 9 but i know that im going to buy one in the future. its my dream car. your videos provide a lot of useful insight information. thank you for that.
Dammit...where was this like 4 days ago! lolol. The very vague Exedy how to video said to put red Loc-Tite on the pressure plate bolts as well, so I did, but, it is likely not necessary. Thank you for the video, though! Its comforting to know I did it correctly.
Thanks for the comment. I don't see any issue with using a drop of loc-tite on the pressure plate bolts as well. How hard was it to get the trans back up in place?
@@BoostedFilms I actually did it all on the ground as I had the engine out for a rebuild. So not hard at all. Haha. Getting the throw out bearing to seat in the monoloc took some serious pressure, but it was easy enough.
BRILLIANT vid dude. Not a lot of material on the clutch pads. Be interesting to see how this unit will last you. Assuming this isnt designed for daily duties. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks! This is suppose to be a street friendly clutch if you don't mind a bit of chatter noise. But I'll report back after i get a chance to drive it a bit and compare it to the single disc ACT.
Good stuff as always. Jealous of the twin. So you didn't polish the floater plates and step "towers"? I've heard a couple people mention doing that to help prevent engagement issues.
Hopefully i can be a good test case here. I've heard on a brand new clutch its not required. However, people can certain do so if they think its needed. Here is a link for more info to people that might not be sure what we are talking about: www.jackstransmissions.com/blogs/pages/exedy-twin-disk-clutch-warning
I know you installed HD but I'm how it drives in traffic. I am about my original clutch after about 145k miles. It's my daily and it is bone stock. Should go I with a light flywheel and hd organic clutch? I added the cost it's almost as a organic exedy twin disk.
Does the floater need to in talled in a specific direction I tried installing but wont engage gears when car runs have had to pull it out again to confirm the order
Bought a used one myself. No paint lines on it but this does help at the least. Mine could use a new intermediate plate. Curious if only replacing one plate will throw off the balance
I'm curious as well. I see so many of these for sale used, i would really like to know what is involved in the rebuild process. Hopefully something I can dig into at a later date.
@@BoostedFilms its just all new plates. If the flywheel is to be machined the steps actually have to be ground Aswell. But being able to replace individual parts makes me think balance isn't such an issue for usability as it is for chatter.
Did your twin plate come with the alignment tool in the kit ? Reason why I asked is mine didn’t and become a pain as the car was on the ramp waiting for the correct tool to arrive. Don’t want this to happen to anyone else who buys this kit
The clutch pedal feels similar between the ACT single disc and the exedy twin disc. I do think for normal driving, the act single disc is easier to drive. With the exedy twin, I end up with a clutch shutter more often than i'd like between shifts. Rev matching fixes it and of course i'm no pro driver, so it may just be me.
So the ACT Monoloc IS compatible with Exedy twin? I ask because my clutch pedal locked to the floor while accelerating away from a stop sign (less than 5MPH). Clutch is two years old (less than 10k on it). I am thinking the TOB lock popped out. No leaks anywhere at all. I will be adding ACT Monoloc and STM fork stop.
Hey I installed the clutch theres no blue line on it so i just follow ur video pattern is it okay idk if i got it correct w the blue line but everything fit perfectly fine do you think its okay?
@@MrAjd1982 probably. 3Ok seems like a decent amount of miles especially if you have some launches on it. I’ve put about 2k miles on my twin disc but already have like 20 🚀 launches. So I’m doubtful I’ll hit 30k miles on mine.
@@BoostedFilms yea, its been a mix, spirited driving/down the drag strip, car only has 33,xxxx on it, had the clutch done back in '08 with 3K miles on it
I liked the ACT. Easy to drive, held for 25+ launches at around ~375 hp. But it was starting to slip a bit. If you never plan to run over 350 hp, you can save the money from buying a twin disc and run an ACT HD set-up. With the Exedy...I heard the twin disc is "the clutch" to have if you are running under ~550 hp, when it comes to streetability and holding some good HP. So i thought i'd give it a shot.

I just bought Excedy Twin Plate for Evo 9. I am so happy!! This video is amazing.
Thanks, Enjoy the evo!
@@BoostedFilms Thank you :)

just bought my very first twin kinda excited lol . was having shifting problems to gonna take the act six puck out and use this

Been waiting for this for weeks
Another great detail video ! Thanks
Can you do a “proper” clutch pedal adjustment video?

Exedy are good clutches

Again love the vids 👍
When installing a new clutch on the evo 8, did you have to drain out any fluids? Like the transfer case?
Finally! 👍

My exedy twin has 60k miles on it. By the time you add up all the parts for a rebuild might as well buy a new twin disc.
Well no. I can get a replacement set of discs and plates plus an act collar for 1.3k Canadian. A new clutch is 2k

Yea, i think the clutch should come with an alignment tool. Did you buy your twin disc new?
Thanks for the video. How do you like it in comparison to single act xtss ?
The clutch pedal feels similar between the ACT single disc and the exedy twin disc. I do think for normal driving, the act single disc is easier to drive. With the exedy twin, I end up with a clutch shutter more often than i'd like between shifts. Rev matching fixes it and of course i'm no pro driver, so it may just be me.
@@BoostedFilms is this clutch push or pull ? please help
Keep them coming 👍👍
What's the average mileage people are getting out of an exedy twin disc?
So the ACT Monoloc IS compatible with Exedy twin? I ask because my clutch pedal locked to the floor while accelerating away from a stop sign (less than 5MPH). Clutch is two years old (less than 10k on it). I am thinking the TOB lock popped out. No leaks anywhere at all. I will be adding ACT Monoloc and STM fork stop.
Pooter - The clown correct, the monoloc will work just fine with a exedy single, twin or triple disc clutch.
@@BoostedFilms Thank you, Sir. Safe driving to you. Cheers.
Hey I installed the clutch theres no blue line on it so i just follow ur video pattern is it okay idk if i got it correct w the blue line but everything fit perfectly fine do you think its okay?
Should be fine 👍
Did you go with the Standard duty or Heavy duty? Also what TOB did you go with?
OEM Mitsubishi TOB. Exedy twin is Heavy Duty, but SD would probably have been fine for me.
Any update on how you didn’t polish the floater plates? Was there any engagement issues?
Pjay J no engagement issues. From my understanding, polishing is only needed if you are using a re-built clutch. Mine was brand new.
Is this pretty much the same steps for the Evo 9?
Yes
I've got 30K on my exedy twin, seems like its slipping under hard acceleration, especially when boost kicks in, sound like it needs changed?
@@MrAjd1982 probably. 3Ok seems like a decent amount of miles especially if you have some launches on it. I’ve put about 2k miles on my twin disc but already have like 20 🚀 launches. So I’m doubtful I’ll hit 30k miles on mine.

Why did u change from act clutch to exedy twin disc and how was act clutch?
I liked the ACT. Easy to drive, held for 25+ launches at around ~375 hp. But it was starting to slip a bit. If you never plan to run over 350 hp, you can save the money from buying a twin disc and run an ACT HD set-up. With the Exedy...I heard the twin disc is "the clutch" to have if you are running under ~550 hp, when it comes to streetability and holding some good HP. So i thought i'd give it a shot.
@@BoostedFilms OK thanks man very good video keep them coming
Has anyone ever had the TOB break off in the pressure plate fingers?
I had a non-OEM TOB split in half on me one time (clutch and TOB was installed by PO of my Evo). When it happened, I could shift into any gear.
