How much power will the EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Clutch hold on a V6 Eclipse?

EXEDY lists 341 lb-ft of clutch torque capacity and a 1,653 lb clamp load for the 05804. Turn 14 gives its wheel rating as 218 or 272 lb-ft depending on the row, either of which leaves margin for a 3.0-liter Eclipse with intake, exhaust and a tune.

Does this kit fit the four-cylinder Eclipse?

No. Turn 14 lists the 05804 for the 2000-2005 Eclipse GT and the 2003-2005 Eclipse GTS with the 3.0-liter V6, in coupe and Spyder form. The four-cylinder GS and RS models use a different clutch, so confirm the engine before ordering.

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, with a sprung hub that softens driveline shock and an organic facing that engages progressively. Pedal effort rises only slightly, so an Eclipse GT used every day stays easy to drive in traffic.

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 naturally aspirated V6 Eclipse, the organic Stage 1 has the capacity the car needs.

How hard is it to replace the clutch on a V6 Eclipse?

It is a transaxle-out job on a front-drive car with a transverse V6, so it suits a shop or an experienced home mechanic with a lift and an engine support bar. Inspect or resurface the flywheel while it is exposed, and bleed the hydraulic system afterwards.

Description

EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit for Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and GTS (3.0L V6)

EXEDY’s Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit for Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and GTS gives the third-generation V6 Eclipse a 236 mm organic disc and 1,653 lb of clamp load. It is the replacement for a 3.0-liter coupe or Spyder whose factory clutch has started to slip, adding a little holding power for intake and exhaust work while engagement stays close to stock.

Design and Performance

EXEDY lists 341 lb-ft of clutch torque capacity for this kit, from a ductile-cast pressure plate clamping a 236 mm disc on a 23-tooth, 26.2 mm spline. The organic facing on a sprung hub softens driveline shock in a front-drive car, which helps when the V6 is launched hard and the front tires load up.

Features

Organic disc on a sprung center hub
236 mm disc on a 23-tooth, 26.2 mm spline
Ductile-cast pressure plate, 1,653 lb clamp load
Clutch torque capacity of 341 lb-ft, according to EXEDY
SFI 1.1 compliant, according to EXEDY

Applications

Mitsubishi Eclipse GT: 2000-2005 | 3.0L V6 (coupe and Spyder)
Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS: 2003-2005 | 3.0L V6 (coupe and Spyder)

Notes

Turn 14 gives two torque-capacity-at-the-wheels figures for this part, 218 and 272 lb-ft, so neither is printed here; the 341 lb-ft clutch torque capacity is the figure Turn 14 lists consistently
This Stage 1 Organic Clutch fits the 3.0L V6 Eclipse only; four-cylinder Eclipses use a different clutch

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.
