Is the paddle disc EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch suitable for a street GT500?

It is workable but not comfortable. The paddle disc engages abruptly and can chatter when moving off gently, which suits launches more than traffic. The cushion-button 07953FW carries the same ratings, flywheel and slave cylinder with smoother engagement for a GT500 that is driven on the road.

What is included with the GT500 paddle kit?

EXEDY USA lists the 07953PFW with the paddle-style cerametallic clutch, the EXEDY EF502A flywheel in an eight-bolt design and the hydraulic CSC slave cylinder, along with the pressure plate. Turn 14 describes the flywheel as a conversion flywheel, so it replaces the factory part.

How much power will the paddle clutch hold?

EXEDY rates the 07953PFW at 734 lb-ft of torque capacity at the flywheel and 587 lb-ft at the wheels, from 3,372 lb of clamp load and 930 lb-ft of clutch torque. That suits a supercharged GT500 with a pulley, tune and drag radials or slicks.

Which GT500 years does it fit?

Turn 14 and EXEDY USA list this EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch, the 07953PFW, for the 2007-2014 Shelby GT500 and the 2008-2009 GT500KR. That covers the 5.4-liter supercharged cars through 2012 and the 5.8-liter cars built for 2013 and 2014.

Will a paddle disc wear the flywheel faster?

Paddle discs concentrate clamp load on a smaller friction area and can mark the flywheel face more than a full-ring disc, especially with repeated hard launches. Resurfacing the EF502A at each clutch service keeps engagement consistent and protects the new disc from hot spots.

Description

EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch and Flywheel Kit for S197 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (Paddle Disc)

EXEDY’s Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch and Flywheel Kit for S197 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 with the paddle disc is the strip-focused version of EXEDY’s GT500 package. The paddle-style cerametallic disc engages almost instantly and carries less rotating mass, while the EF502A conversion flywheel and new concentric slave come in the same box, so a drag GT500 gets a matched assembly in one job.

Design and Performance

Turn 14 describes the disc as puck style and EXEDY USA as paddle style: separate cerametallic pads that bite hard and spin up quickly. A ductile-cast cover delivers 3,372 lb of clamp load on the 26-tooth, 29.0 mm spline, and EXEDY rates the kit at 930 lb-ft of clutch torque. The eight-bolt EF502A conversion flywheel replaces the factory flywheel.

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.
