A Century of Clutch Engineering
Founded in Japan in 1923, EXEDY built its reputation as Daikin Clutch before becoming one of the best-known global names in clutch and driveline engineering. Its background spans OEM supply and purpose-built performance hardware, giving the brand unusual depth from factory-style service parts to multi-plate racing systems.
Purpose & Application
EXEDY replacement clutch discs allow an existing compatible clutch assembly to be serviced without replacing every reusable component. Disc construction varies by series: organic materials favor modulation and street behavior, while cerametallic designs prioritize heat resistance and torque transfer for more demanding use.
Select a replacement disc by the exact EXEDY clutch system or matching pressure-plate/flywheel combination, not simply by vehicle. A disc that physically fits is not automatically calibrated for the clamp load or release geometry of another clutch kit.
