Description
Designed around the drivetrain package used in 1993–1998 Toyota Supra, the EXEDY Performance Clutch Kit – 1993–1998 Toyota Supra is intended for drivers prioritizing enthusiast street, autocross, HPDE, and modified performance builds and correct EXEDY component matching.
EXEDY Engineering Background
From its 1923 beginnings in Japan to its modern global OEM and racing programs, EXEDY has specialized in transferring torque reliably through the driveline. The company's Daikin Clutch heritage remains visible in a product philosophy built around precise engagement, thermal capacity, controlled clamp load, and application-specific engineering.
Purpose & Application
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.
Available Configurations
This parent listing contains multiple EXEDY configurations for the same application family. The differences below are functional and should be selected around torque demand, heat load, and acceptable engagement behavior.
| Configuration | EXEDY Part Number | Construction / Character | Torque Capacity | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hyper Triple | TM043SR | Triple-plate Hyper system with lightweight chromoly flywheel. Competition-focused; not recommended by EXEDY as a general street setup. | EXEDY general Hyper Triple family rating: approximately 800 ft-lb at the flywheel; verify the exact SKU/application | Very high-power drag/race builds requiring multi-plate capacity |
| Hyper Twin | TM042SD | Twin-plate Hyper system with lightweight chromoly flywheel; sprung-center disc. Direct, motorsport-oriented engagement. | EXEDY general Hyper Twin family rating: approximately 500 ft-lb at the flywheel; verify the exact SKU/application | High-power street, drag, road-race and rally applications |
How to Choose
For 1993–1998 Toyota Supra, Hyper Twin is the preferred ceiling for most high-power street/track builds; Hyper Triple is the competition step for torque loads approaching the limits of a twin and trades additional street refinement for capacity.
Technical Notes
- 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: 1993–1998 Toyota Supra
- EXEDY SKUs: TM043SR, TM042SD
Application-specific construction notes: Cerametallic friction, Sprung-center disc.
Fitment note: Fitment should be verified against the exact drivetrain, not model name alone. Check year, engine, transmission, and any existing flywheel or EXEDY clutch-system part number before installation.
