Will the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch fit a 1989 MR2 Supercharged?

Yes. Turn 14 lists the 16952 for the 1988-1989 AW11 MR2 Supercharged with the 1.6-liter 4A-GZE. The kit uses a 225 mm disc and the 21-tooth, 29.8 mm input spline of the supercharged car gearbox, and it bolts to the factory flywheel size.

Does it fit the non-supercharged AW11?

No. Turn 14 lists the 16952 for the Supercharged model only. The naturally aspirated AW11 with the 4A-GE uses a different clutch, and the later SW20 MR2 is covered by other EXEDY kits, so check the engine and gearbox before ordering.

How much power will the MR2 SC clutch hold?

EXEDY rates the 16952 at 277 lb-ft of torque capacity at the flywheel and 222 lb-ft at the wheels from 1,549 lb of clamp load. That covers a 4A-GZE with a smaller pulley, intercooler and tune, or an engine swap of moderate output.

Is a cerametallic clutch harsh in a light car like the MR2?

It is firmer than stock, and in a light car the engagement is noticeable. The sprung hub of the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch softens it, but a stock MR2 used for weekend drives may be smoother on an organic clutch. Modified and autocross cars gain the most.

What else should be replaced with the clutch?

Replace the release bearing and pilot bearing and resurface the flywheel, since the mid-engine layout makes transmission removal a big job. Inspect the clutch hydraulics and engine mounts at the same time, because worn mounts make a firmer clutch feel harsher than it is.

Description

EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for AW11 Toyota MR2 Supercharged (Thick Disc)

EXEDY’s Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for AW11 Toyota MR2 Supercharged is sized for the 4A-GZE mid-engine car, whose small supercharged four responds strongly to a pulley change and a larger intercooler. The 225 mm thick cerametallic disc is rated at 277 lb-ft at the flywheel, several times what the engine makes and plenty for a modified car that sees autocross launches.

Design and Performance

A ductile-cast cover applies 1,549 lb of clamp load to a 225 mm thick cerametallic disc on the 21-tooth, 29.8 mm spline, for 347 lb-ft of clutch torque by EXEDY figures. The thick disc carries heat through repeated autocross starts, and the sprung center damper keeps the light mid-engine car from shuddering as the clutch takes up.

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.
