That OEM foundation carries into its performance range, where organic, cerametallic, chromoly, and multi-plate technologies are developed for increasingly demanding street and competition applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePurpose \u0026amp; Application\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEXEDY'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Configurations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis parent listing contains multiple EXEDY configurations for the same application family.

Where thick, thin, or cushion-button Stage 2 discs are offered, choose thick for broader thermal durability, thin for lower rotating inertia\/quick shifts, and cushion-button for a more progressive compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Technical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stage 1\/2 covers are designed around roughly 40% higher clamping load than the genuine part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePedal Effort:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typical Stage 1\/2 increase is approximately 20–35%, application dependent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlywheel Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stage 1\/2 generally use the OEM flywheel unless noted; Hyper systems include\/require their dedicated flywheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EXEDY Stage 1, Stage 2 and Lightweight Flywheel products are SFI 1.1 certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Application:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1985–1987 4Runner \/ 1979–1981 Celica \/ 1981–1988 Pickup (Toyota)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEXEDY SKUs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16801B, 16951B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication-specific construction notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cerametallic friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Before ordering, confirm the exact year, trim, engine, transmission, and flywheel\/clutch-system combination.
