How much power will the EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Clutch hold on an ST165 All-Trac?

EXEDY rates the 16803C at 275 lb-ft of torque capacity at the wheels and 343 lb-ft at the flywheel, from a 2,093 lb clamp load on a 240 mm disc. That covers a 3S-GTE with exhaust, intake and a modest boost increase. Large-turbo builds should look at a higher-capacity EXEDY clutch.

Does this kit fit the ST185 Celica All-Trac?

No. Turn 14 lists the 16803C for the 1988-1989 ST165 Celica All-Trac and the 1990-1991 Lexus ES250. The 1990-1993 ST185 All-Trac is listed under the EXEDY 16803A, which shares the same disc size, spline and clamp load but is a separate part number.

Is the EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit good for daily driving?

Yes. EXEDY builds its Stage 1 Organic Clutch kits to drive close to the factory clutch, using a sprung hub to soften driveline shock and an organic facing that engages progressively. Pedal effort rises slightly with the 2,093 lb clamp load, which suits a Celica or ES250 still driven regularly.

What is the difference between EXEDY Stage 1 and Stage 2 clutches?

EXEDY Stage 1 kits pair raised clamp load with an organic disc and sprung hub for smooth engagement. Stage 2 kits use a cerametallic disc that bites harder and holds more torque, with sharper take-up. For a classic All-Trac kept for road use, the organic Stage 1 preserves the factory character.

How hard is it to replace the clutch on a Celica All-Trac?

It is a transaxle-out job on an all-wheel-drive car, with the transfer case and driveshaft to remove, so it suits a shop or an experienced home mechanic with a lift. Inspect or resurface the flywheel while it is exposed, and replace any tired hydraulic parts at the same time.

EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit for ST165 Toyota Celica All-Trac and Lexus ES250

EXEDY’s Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit for ST165 Toyota Celica All-Trac and Lexus ES250 brings a 240 mm organic disc and 2,093 lb of clamp load to two very different Toyota-built cars: the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive Celica rally homologation special and the V6 Lexus sedan offered with a manual. EXEDY rates it at 275 lb-ft at the wheels, comfortable headroom for a 3S-GTE with modest boost.

Design and Performance

EXEDY quotes 431 lb-ft of clutch torque capacity and 343 lb-ft at the flywheel for this kit, from a ductile-cast pressure plate clamping a 240 mm disc on a 21-tooth, 29.8 mm spline. The organic facing on a sprung hub absorbs shock from the All-Trac center differential on hard launches and keeps take-up close to factory.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
