Will the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch fit an Eclipse Spyder GTS?

Yes. EXEDY USA lists the 05953 for the 2001-2005 Eclipse Spyder GT and the 2003-2005 Spyder GTS, and Turn 14 adds the 2000-2005 GT coupe and 2003-2005 GTS coupe. All of these use the 3.0-liter V6 and the 23-tooth, 26.2 mm input spline this clutch is built on.

Does it fit the four-cylinder 3G Eclipse GS?

No. The 05953 is listed for the V6 GT and GTS models only. The 2.4-liter GS and RS use a different clutch and spline, so a four-cylinder car needs another part number. Check the engine and model badge before ordering.

How much power will the V6 Eclipse clutch hold?

EXEDY rates the 05953 at 315 lb-ft of torque capacity at the flywheel and 396 lb-ft of clutch torque, from 1,653 lb of clamp load on a 236 mm thick disc. A 6G72 with intake, headers and a tune, or a supercharger kit on modest boost, stays inside that figure.

Is a cerametallic clutch hard to drive in a front-drive car?

It is firmer. Cerametallic facing grips quickly, so take-up happens over a short pedal range and can chatter on gentle starts. The sprung hub of the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch reduces the effect, and the payoff is a clutch that does not fade when the car is launched repeatedly.

What should be replaced with the clutch on a 3G Eclipse?

Resurface or replace the flywheel and fit a new release bearing while the transaxle is out, since both need the same removal. Engine and transmission mounts on these cars are often worn by now, and tired mounts make any firmer clutch feel harsher on take-up.

Description

EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for 3G Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and GTS (Thick Disc)

EXEDY’s Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for 3G Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and GTS suits the 6G72 V6 car that has outgrown its factory clutch, whether through a supercharger, nitrous or simply years of hard launches. EXEDY puts the 236 mm thick cerametallic disc at 315 lb-ft at the flywheel, a large step over a stock-type organic disc on a front-drive car that spins its tires easily.

Design and Performance

A ductile-cast cover with 1,653 lb of clamp load drives the thick cerametallic disc on a 23-tooth, 26.2 mm spline, and EXEDY rates the kit at 396 lb-ft of clutch torque. The thick disc stores more heat before it fades, which helps a front-drive V6 that slips its clutch at launch, and the sprung center damper reduces shock through the transaxle and axles.

Turn 14 lists 352 lb-ft at the wheels for this kit, higher than its 315 lb-ft flywheel figure, so the wheel figure is not printed here
This kit fits the 3.0L V6 Eclipse only; four-cylinder cars of the same generation 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.
