Exedy Performance Clutches at JXL Performance

When modifying legendary Japanese performance cars, getting the power from the engine to the tarmac is the ultimate challenge. As a premier OEM supplier to major Japanese automotive manufacturers, Exedy possesses unrivaled engineering expertise in driveline technology. Their aftermarket motorsport division takes that factory reliability and completely reengineers it for extreme horsepower and track abuse. Whether you need a slightly uprated organic clutch for a daily driven street car or an aggressive cerametallic setup to handle massive torque spikes, Exedy delivers flawless pedal feel and unmatched holding capacity.

Heavy Duty Pressure Plates and Friction Materials

Standard factory clutches are designed for smooth engagement at stock power levels. Once you install a larger turbocharger or flash an aggressive custom remap, the factory friction disc will quickly glaze and slip under heavy acceleration. Exedy solves this by manufacturing uprated pressure plates that significantly increase the clamping load applied to the disc.

Depending on your specific power goals, Exedy offers premium organic friction materials that retain excellent street manners, or advanced cerametallic paddle clutches designed specifically to handle the immense heat and brutal engagement of circuit driving and motorsport. This ensures your driveline remains absolutely bulletproof when you launch the car or push hard out of a tight corner.

Essential Driveline Upgrades for Honda and Toyota

Exedy is the definitive clutch upgrade for the modern JDM tuning scene, providing direct fit solutions for the most heavily modified platforms on the road. For Honda enthusiasts pushing the limits of the K20C1 turbocharged engine, an uprated Exedy kit is a mandatory requirement. The factory clutch in the Civic Type R FK2, FK8, and the latest FL5 platform will notoriously slip once you introduce a Stage 1 or Stage 2 calibration.

They are equally critical for high performance Toyota platforms. The aggressive all wheel drive launches of the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Toyota GR Yaris place incredible stress on the drivetrain, making an Exedy upgrade essential when tuning the potent G16E-GTS three cylinder engine. Furthermore, if you are bolting a supercharger or turbo kit onto the FA20 engine in a Toyota GT86 or Subaru BRZ, an Exedy clutch will safely handle the massive increase in torque without ruining your daily commute.
