I have tried:-

Exedy racing cover + full face plate: Pedal pressure is usual exedy style which is quite heavy compared to OEM. Grip better than OEM and doesn't give the judder like the exedy 3 puck type. But 3 puck type grip is higher and faster respond.

Ogura Super Single: Pedal pressure is almost the same as exedy race cover, maybe even slighter lighter. Grip is fantastic with immediate engine respond and take off the moment you dump your clutch. But set back is when you clutch in, it's very noisy giving 'cheeeee' sound and driving in jam his real tiring as the moment you release the clutch it moves and without throttling it will bog down pretty fast and stall.

No worries, glad to be of some help. Anyhow, back to your ques...

No, its should cost you between RM700 to Rm750 plus your clutch bearing. Labour should be around RM200.

As for my previous exedy, I wasn't using the organic ones, I was using the 3 puck ones, and I bought it for around RM900. It only managed to get about 40k mileage for that set. And that was only through normal driving and occational hard shifts.

So if you are looking for longer wear and tear, I suggest that you try out the EK9 ones I'm using now. But I myself can't say how long they would last, but one thing is for sure, it would most definately outlast the lifespan of the exedy 3 puck as the pressure plate for the EK9 are so much thicker compared to the exedy's.

if u r looking for a hyper single clutch

ogura: easier to drive around and pedal pressure are softer than os giken/cusco

os giken/cusco: a bit harder than ogura to drive around and pressure pedal are not than soft. BUT is just awesome!!

tired ogura and os giken still preferred os!

dear all,

currently i'm using exedy thin puck and it really wears my leg off during traffic jam. i wanted to explore new clutch as this one is really heavy.

i'm interested in trying ek9 clutch, anything i need to change other than my exedy clutch?

j101/udeng,

"currently i'm using exedy thin puck and it really wears my leg off during traffic jam. i wanted to explore new clutch as this one is really heavy"

the reason i do not recommend ya other clutches is due to this statement. i also did not recommend you stock ITR and CTR clutch system. dont get me wrong for this. the clutch system that is better than stock and less leg-cramping is always been the exedy organic full plate or 3-puck. at least its aftermarket and affordable. do the routing distance of your journey daily and you'll get the idea which clutch is just nice to drive and fool around during the weekends. do take note that cable and hydraulic feeling is 2 different thing. so which gearbox are you using?

i had the similar dilemma also last time between CTR clutch or exedy organic...i drive hard occasionally only and dont wish to develop xtra foot muscle via heavy pedal....so finally i choose CTR ones cause that time it's cheaper than exedy...and i'm happy with it so far...honestly i have never tried the exedy so i can't give comparison between the 2 ler...btw, u might need to also change the clutch bearing...

J101,
U mention the less leg cramping will be the organic or 3puck, is it the thick 3 puck? since mine was the thin 3 puck...my current gearbox is b16a, with lsd...using big vtec engine...pls recommend..

udeng,
how's the ctr? i mean if u compare with stock honda clutches? btw, correct me if im wrong, do we have to change bearing everytime we change clutch?

appreciate all the input bro

ctr clutch compare with stock b16a...it engages quicker, with a little bit of shrudder n a little bit harder than stock, but not as much as aftermarket ones....very leg friendly..:biggrin:

If you like the grip in the 3 puck thin or thick, you will not find the OEM CTR any good in terms of performance. And if I not wrong the racing cover used in all exedy race clutch whether it is round organic, 3 puck thin or 3 puck thick, they are all the same. So theorically, whichever exedy you use, you will still find that heavy pedal mainly due to the cover. It is just that the Exedy organic you may not find the juddering when you dump clutch compare to 3 puck type.

Anyone tried the ATS Super single?? Heard that it seems to be very light and it claims that it doesn't have the 'cheeee' sound like Ogura.

i never had the chance to try any from the ATS brand. but driving around in kl or subang with the OS Giken Super Single is not fun to be honest :p
