Description
The EXEDY Clutch Kits - Single – 2001–2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser L4 is a focused driveline solution for 2001–2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser L4, aimed at owners who want daily-driven and enthusiast street applications that need dependable engagement and OE-correct fitment without piecing together mismatched clutch components.
EXEDY Heritage
Since 1923, EXEDY has developed clutch and powertrain components for OEM and performance use around the world. The company's Daikin Clutch heritage and motorsports engineering experience underpin a catalog that ranges from OE replacement hydraulics and clutch kits to SFI-certified sport clutches, chromoly flywheels, and Hyper multi-plate assemblies.
Purpose & Application
EXEDY single-disc performance systems target modified cars that have outgrown an OE clutch but do not require the mass, cost, or engagement behavior of a multi-plate assembly. Depending on the series, EXEDY combines higher clamp load with organic or cerametallic friction and a sprung hub to manage driveline shock.
This category suits street/track cars, autocross builds, and moderate-power projects where response and thermal margin matter but the car still needs to remain manageable in normal driving.
Configuration
- EXEDY Part Number: KCH05
- Configuration: Clutch Kits - Single
- Construction / Character: Application-specific EXEDY configuration
- Torque Rating: Application-specific / verify EXEDY rating

Setup Guidance
For 2001–2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser L4, this configuration makes the most sense when its intended duty matches the vehicle's actual power and use. Avoid overspecifying clutch aggressiveness: the best setup is the one that maintains the needed torque reserve while preserving usable modulation and protecting the rest of the driveline.
Key Technical Specifications
- Clamp Load: Stage 1/2 covers are designed around roughly 40% higher clamping load than the genuine part

Fitment note: Because clutch fitment is sensitive to transmission and flywheel changes, verify the complete vehicle configuration before purchase. Modified swaps or previously converted flywheel systems may require a different EXEDY part than a stock vehicle.
