2008 Nissan 350Z Clutch Systems

LuK dual-mass flywheels absorb engine vibrations before they are transmitted to the driveline where they can create gear rattle. These units feature a built-in damper designed to isolate engine torque spikes and prevent transmission damage. By design, dual-mass flywheels cannot be resurfaced. This all makes the LuK dual mass flywheel the ideal solution. With one drawback: the higher the mass reactance of the vibrating masses, the more excessive the resonance increase and associated torque peaks. With the dual mass flywheel, this would be easily perceived when starting and stopping the engine; much more easily than with a conventional clutch system. Additionally: the smaller flymass of the engine has less of a stabilizing effect on the speed fluctuation of the engine. Thanks to decades of experience in clutch building, the LuK specialists were able to find an excellent solution to this problem. An additional damping device effectively prevents resonance overload. In normal operation, however, this additional damping device has no function and the torsional vibrations of the engine are filtered out by spring dampers. Friction and spring rate – the correct ratio is important. For optimal vibration isolation and soft resonance passage when starting and stopping the engine, the ratio between friction and spring rate must be optimal. The length of the springs is a key factor: The softer a spring, the more efficiently vibrations are isolated. The extra-long springs of the latest generation of dual mass flywheels significantly reduce the spring rate compared to a first generation dual mass flywheel. In routine driving operations, excessive resonance increases are kept almost completely away from the gearbox.

Product Features:

• Top driving comfort
• Absorbs vibrations
• Prevents noise
• Enables comfortable, low-revs driving
• Saves fuel
• Relieves crankshaft and gearbox

The EXEDY Pro-Kit clutch assembly you will receive is manufactured on the same production line as OEM clutch components! Clutch cover assemblies (pressure plates): All cover assemblies endure a precise robotic testing process to ensure proper clamp load and clutch lift separation. This step ensures optimal pedal feel for better drivability. To help guarantee durability, the diaphragm spring (dark fingers in the center) receives special high frequency induction heat treating. This helps prevent the wear that normally occurs at the contact surface of the release bearing. Together, these procedures provide you a like-new pedal feel throughout the life of your clutch. Clutch Discs: EXEDY Engineers develop, perfect and manufacture our own friction materials. We produce a material with exceptional friction and wear characteristics that will help engage smoothly, grip as expected and provide you with a longer lasting installation. Disc Spring Dampers: This is the center section of the clutch disc. EXEDY spring-type disc dampers are patented worldwide to suppress engine and driveline noise by absorbing vibrations. Vehicle-specific designs let you enjoy your ride without compromise.

Product Features:

• Original Equipment Replacement.
• Direct fit application.
• True OE friction plates and steels.
• Contains all necessary components

EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Racing clutches only use premium friction materials that are resistant to slippage and burst. Increased clamp loads give the necessary capacity to handle modified engines. The sports cover assembly boasts higher clamp loads, spheroidal graphite pressure plate castings and additional drive straps are utilized to prevent pressure plate casting failure at high RPM. The Sports Organic (SO) disc features a premium friction material for superior durability and engagement characteristics as well as high rate damper springs to handle increased torque. The Stage-1 Organic Racing clutch kit comprises an EXEDY sports cover assembly, Sports Organic (SO) clutch disc and release bearing.

Product Features:

• Drivability is similar to the stock clutch.
• Pedal efforts will be slightly higher because of the higher clamp loads.
• Clutch discs have spring center dampers to reduce drive-train shock.
