  4. The long-awaited carbon clutch arrives from Exedy. Alongside a full-carbon type, carbon versions are also available for the economical Hyper Single and Hyper Twin.
  5. CarbonSeries
  6. Excellent heat resistance: the carbon material is fired above 2,000°C and has more than twice the heat resistance of metallic friction material. Repeated clutch slipping causes less seizure and fade, maintaining consistent performance. Its thermal expansion is less than one-tenth that of steel, avoiding disengagement problems from thermal distortion. High torque capacity with easy operation: carbon’s friction coefficient is low when cold and rises with temperature, combining gentle engagement with strong bite when hot. Exedy selects a wide-operating-range material suited to clutches to provide high torque transmission while maintaining mild operation. These are the advertisement’s product claims.
  7. Full Carbon Multi
  8. Skyline GT-R, RB26-series push type; RX-7, 13B-series push type. Made to order, from ¥490,000.
  9. Extreme weight reduction: carbon has less than one-quarter the specific gravity of steel and less than half that of metallic friction material. Lighter disc plates improve synchronizer operation, giving noticeably easier, sharper shifts. With a dog gearbox, gear-engagement noise and shock are greatly reduced. These are the advertisement’s product claims.
