Exedy clutch

[Bill Pemberton]

Considering that the name MGW comes from Maryland Gun Works that George's dad started , you could not have used a better metaphor, Madhatter. They still do some interesting work in that area, though the automotive side has become bigger in the recent years. Of course since they are in Augusta, Georgia now , maybe it should be renamed Mustang Gearshifting Works, ha!

Excedy has no products for the 2018+ GT, contacted them yesterday...... I keep having problems getting into 3rd at the track..... the Mantic stuff looks interesting.....

Have you considered a McLeod, I know they have one for the newer generations and I have one in the Boss S and am very satisfied.

I recently lost my clutch at road atlanta and replaced it with an exedy hyper single based on the advice in this thread (it's mostly a track car). So far I'm very happy with it. Everything feels better at higher rpm. At low rpm it chatters like crazy though. Didn't know to expect that. Anyway thanks for the knowledge. It was a solid upgrade.

Did you break it in per the Exedy instructions? Mine was kind of raunchy at first but after break in it settled down nicely. Except in reverse, it still doesn't like reverse.

Im still in the process of breaking it in. I think the noise i'm talking about is just more transmission noise than im used to from the lightened flywheel it comes with. Everything ive read says its normal. Is chatter the wrong word?

I think it's the right word I would describe what mine was doing and what it is still doing to a small extent in Reverse as chatter. It's a series of real quick grab/release cycles.

I meant was I using the wrong word when i said chatter and I think the answer is yes. I have no issues with engagement just transmission noise which is not annoying, just unusual sounding. I should probably say increased NVH instead.
