How much for clutch replacement DC5

[abez24]

I think i still might go for the Sports organic at the moment. Just wondering if anybody knows the best place to get one from? Ive been looking around, the best I've gotten so far was about $530. Ebay doesnt sell them, and there hand to find for a decent price.

You didn't look very hard. This is the clutch you want, the US equivalent of the HCK-7369SO: LINK I know it looks different but it's going to do the same thing at a 40% saving.

Sorry ChargeR, i probably should have stated that ive already looked at the US models. Id like to go for that model, but I was told it may not be as strong and durable seeing that its only 4 springs not 6 etc.

Sorry to keep posting up links but i guess it will help others decide in the future.
I found this, Its 6 spring, much cheaper and seems to be racing organic which is what i would be looking for.
Can you tell me if this would be the same as the HCK-7369so?

[hello]

dont think number of springs matter in durability, i always thought its for more friendly clutch engagement.
usually when clutch disc shit itself, its cos of the cage. allowing spring to unseat and starts rubbing everything

I'm not 100% sure, I must admit im no mechanic. Im just trying to what is most similar to what i was recommended to get for less than $530. If someone can have a look at the tegiwa link i post and let me know if that model(hk05h890) is any good?

Ah okay, you're right the 6 sprung centre Australian model might be better/sturdier. It's also possible that the 4 spring US model centre is more reliable though, who can say. I'd say it's rare for a Exedy centre disc to fail though, more likely that the friction material will wear or be damaged first. I'll be using the US part no. 08806 in my personal car with a K24 with bolt ons, and I'm sure it will do the job after driving the same clutch in Mugsee's car with a similar motor setup.

I’ll put my 2cents in….and only from my personal experience.
I own DC5S, Changed the OEM clutch for the Exedy Sports Organic, only because I was fitting an LSD & lightened Flywheel too at the same time.
Makes sense to change clutch while everything is out. The car at the time had about, 90-100k on the clock.
Fark…….well as I found out these Exedy Sports Organic clutches don’t last long, maybe 30k my driving. BTW I don’t do Burnouts, Just race it like I stole it from my mum 
So I got it replaced again with another Exedy Sports Organic clutch @ 130k only because I told the Vendor I’ll buy it from them, just wanted to keep my word.
So my next clutch will be the OEM one it’ll last longer and do the same job & cheaper :/

maybe you ride on it?
but still, thats way too quick to wear out.

how bad was it at 130kkms?

Wow 30k that cant be right!! I spoke to a guy from tyrepower in melbourne. Turns out they import from Tegiwa and he is getting me the 6 spring aus version for 450. If it is the exact part number I asked for, thats a shit load cheaper than everything else. According to him, its more the clamp load that affects the life of the clutch. The stage 1 clutches have a 40% clamp load, and his has lasted him 60k kms, with about 20 left in his opinion. He also tracks it once a month. The sport organic should be considerably longer in life span, being 15% less on the clutch load. So i have no godly idea how in the F you got 30k kms out of it. Not trying to disrespect or anything but that sounds fried...I really hope mine lasts longer :S

That's Mark you're taking too @ TyrePower, good bloke
Like most of us here, we race that's when the fun kicks in.
The only thing I can think that could have contributed to it was the flywheel not being cleaned properly when new, before installing?

After 25years of driving I hope not, I felt it slip doing 100km in 6th gear, so it was on the way out.
although did teach my son in it when he got his Learners.............
