Manufacturer Background
EXEDY's clutch expertise began in Japan in 1923 and expanded worldwide through the Daikin Clutch legacy. Unlike brands focused only on aftermarket friction products, EXEDY also operates as an OEM powertrain supplier, bringing production-level engineering and validation experience into its street-performance and racing clutch programs.
Driveline Role
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.

Which Option Makes Sense?
For Thick Disc Clutch Kit – 1982–1983 Nissan 200SX / 1989–1996 Nissan 240SX / 1975–1978 Nissan 280Z + 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.
Technical Overview
- Clamp Load: Stage 1/2 covers are designed around roughly 40% higher clamping load than the genuine part

- Certification: EXEDY Stage 1, Stage 2 and Lightweight Flywheel products are SFI 1.1 certified
- Vehicle Application: Thick Disc Clutch Kit – 1982–1983 Nissan 200SX / 1989–1996 Nissan 240SX / 1975–1978 Nissan 280Z + more
- EXEDY SKU: 06953A
Application-specific construction notes: Cerametallic friction.
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.
