Description
The EXEDY Hyper Twin Clutch Kit – 1998–2015 Chevrolet Camaro / 1997–2013 Chevrolet Corvette / 1998–2002 Pontiac Firebird + more addresses the clutch-service and performance needs of 1998–2015 Chevrolet Camaro / 1997–2013 Chevrolet Corvette / 1998–2002 Pontiac Firebird + more, providing an EXEDY-based path for enthusiast street, autocross, HPDE, and modified performance builds with application-specific fitment.
A Century of Clutch Engineering
EXEDY traces its clutch-manufacturing roots to Japan in 1923 and grew globally through the Daikin Clutch name. Today, EXEDY supplies OEM powertrain components while applying the same engineering discipline to replacement and competition clutch systems used in street, road-race, rally, drag, and other motorsports environments.
Why This Part Fits the Build
EXEDY's performance single- and multi-plate systems are intended to raise torque capacity and heat tolerance while matching the engagement characteristics to the car's intended use. Stage 1 uses an organic friction strategy for the most street-friendly behavior; Stage 2 moves to cerametallic friction for harder use; Hyper systems add dedicated flywheel and multi-plate architecture for substantially higher-output builds.
Choose the least aggressive configuration that comfortably covers the engine's torque and heat load. That approach normally gives the best balance of drivability, service life, transmission friendliness, and track durability.
Configuration
- EXEDY Part Number: GT04SD
- Configuration: Hyper Twin Clutch Kit
- Construction / Character: Application-specific EXEDY configuration; sprung-center disc
- Torque Rating: Application-specific / verify EXEDY rating
- Best Suited For: Use where this exact EXEDY configuration and fitment are required
Application Recommendation
For 1998–2015 Chevrolet Camaro / 1997–2013 Chevrolet Corvette / 1998–2002 Pontiac Firebird + more, 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
- Pedal Effort: Typical Stage 1/2 increase is approximately 20–35%, application dependent
- Flywheel Compatibility: Stage 1/2 generally use the OEM flywheel unless noted; Hyper systems include/require their dedicated flywheel
- Certification: EXEDY Stage 1, Stage 2 and Lightweight Flywheel products are SFI 1.1 certified
- Vehicle Application: 1998–2015 Chevrolet Camaro / 1997–2013 Chevrolet Corvette / 1998–2002 Pontiac Firebird + more
- EXEDY SKU: GT04SD
Application-specific construction notes: Cerametallic friction.
Fitment note: Before ordering, confirm the exact year, trim, engine, transmission, and flywheel/clutch-system combination. EXEDY may use different components within the same model range, particularly where transmissions or factory flywheel designs changed.
