Does the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch fit the Solstice GXP?

Turn 14 does not list it. The 04951 is listed for the 2006-2009 Solstice base model and the 2007 Saturn Sky, both with the naturally aspirated 2.4-liter engine. The turbocharged GXP and Red Line models are absent from the application list, so confirm with EXEDY before fitting one to a turbo car.

Is this the same clutch as the EXEDY Cobalt kit?

No. Both kits use a 225 mm thick cerametallic disc and 1,866 lb of clamp load, but the 04951 has a 26-tooth, 29.0 mm input spline to suit the roadster gearbox, where the 04950 for the Cobalt and HHR uses a 14-tooth, 25.0 mm spline. The two are not interchangeable.

How much power will this clutch hold?

EXEDY rates the 04951 at 270 lb-ft of torque capacity at the wheels, 337 lb-ft at the flywheel and 423 lb-ft of clutch torque. A naturally aspirated 2.4-liter roadster with intake, exhaust, cams or a supercharger conversion stays well inside those figures, which leaves margin for sticky tires and repeated launches.

Will a cerametallic clutch be harsh on the street?

It is firmer than stock. Cerametallic facing grabs faster than an organic disc and can chatter when moving off gently, although the sprung hub on the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch softens it. Owners who drive mostly in traffic should expect a shorter, more positive engagement point.

How is the clutch replaced on a Solstice or Sky?

The transmission comes out from underneath, which on these roadsters means removing the driveshaft and the torque tube that joins gearbox and differential. Plan on a full day with a lift. Resurface or replace the flywheel, inspect the release bearing and slave, and bleed the hydraulic system before the first drive.

Description

EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky (Thick Disc)

EXEDY’s Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky gives the rear-drive Kappa roadsters a clutch that will stand up to track days and a stiffer engine. The 225 mm thick cerametallic disc and 1,866 lb clamp load are rated at 270 lb-ft at the wheels, with the 26-tooth, 29.0 mm spline the roadster gearbox uses.

Design and Performance

The disc is a thick cerametallic design, which carries more heat before it fades and suits a car that sees autocross or circuit sessions. A ductile-cast cover supplies 1,866 lb of clamp load for 423 lb-ft of clutch torque and 337 lb-ft at the flywheel by EXEDY figures, and the sprung center damper keeps take-up from jarring the light roadster driveline.

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.
