Exedy Sport Clutch Kit 10809 High Burst Ductile Pressure Plate

Description

Product Overview

The Exedy Sport Clutch Kit model 10809 is engineered for drivers who demand consistent performance and long‑lasting reliability. At the heart of the kit is a pressure plate manufactured from a proprietary ductile alloy that provides high burst strength across extreme temperature variations. The machined exterior ensures a precise fit to the flywheel, while the lightweight design (14.3 lb total) helps reduce rotating mass for quicker engine response. Dimensions of 12.25 × 13 × 3.5 in make the kit compatible with a wide range of mid‑size performance vehicles. Each component, from the clutch disc to the release bearing, is built to Exedy’s rigorous quality standards, guaranteeing a seamless installation and a clutch feel that balances firm engagement with smooth modulation.

Usage

This clutch kit is suited for daily commuters who enjoy occasional spirited driving, as well as enthusiasts who take their cars to the track on weekends. The ductile pressure plate’s superior heat dissipation allows it to maintain consistent friction characteristics during aggressive launches, hill climbs, or extended track sessions. Whether installed in a rear‑wheel‑drive sedan, a lightweight coupe, or a modified hot‑rod, the kit delivers reliable torque transfer and reduces the risk of clutch slip under high load. It is also an excellent upgrade for vehicles that have been fitted with aftermarket flywheels, thanks to its adaptable mounting geometry.

FAQ

Is the Exedy Sport Clutch Kit compatible with my vehicle’s factory flywheel?

Yes, the kit is designed to bolt directly to standard factory flywheels for most mid‑size performance cars. Verify the bolt pattern and pilot diameter in your vehicle’s service manual before purchase.

What maintenance is required after installation?

We recommend checking the clutch fluid level and condition every 5,000 mi, and inspecting the release bearing for wear at each major service interval. The ductile pressure plate itself does not require routine cleaning.

Can this kit be used for track days?

Absolutely. The high‑burst pressure plate and enhanced cooling make the kit well‑suited for repeated high‑load applications typical of track use.

How does the ductile material differ from traditional steel pressure plates?

Ductile alloys absorb impact energy more effectively, reducing the likelihood of cracks under sudden torque spikes. This results in a longer service life compared to conventional steel plates.

What is included in the package?

The package contains the clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing, pilot bearing, and a detailed installation guide. All hardware required for a standard installation is included.
