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

It is usable but harsh. The paddle disc grabs abruptly and can chatter when pulling away gently, which wears on a driver in traffic. The 07953CSC carries the same 587 lb-ft wheel rating with a cushion-button disc that is noticeably smoother day to day.

Does the 07953PCSC fit a 2015 Mustang GT?

EXEDY USA lists it for the 2011-2017 Mustang GT, and Turn 14 lists those cars with the condition of a 26-spline transmission upgrade and an 11 inch flywheel. On its factory gearbox, a Coyote GT needs the 23-spline EXEDY 07959PCSC or 07959CSC instead.

How much power will the paddle clutch hold?

EXEDY rates the 07953PCSC at 734 lb-ft of torque capacity at the flywheel and 587 lb-ft at the wheels, with 930 lb-ft of clutch torque. That suits a boosted Mustang with an upgraded transmission used for drag launches on slicks or radials.

What is the difference between paddle and cushion button discs?

Both carry the same torque rating here. The paddle disc concentrates its cerametallic friction material on separate pads, which lowers rotating mass and makes engagement almost instant. The cushion-button version of the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch is the smoother choice for a car that also sees regular street driving.

Is the slave cylinder included?

Yes. EXEDY USA lists the 07953PCSC as including the hydraulic CSC slave cylinder along with the pressure plate and paddle disc. Replacing the concentric slave at the same time removes the most common source of a soft or sticking pedal after a clutch change.

Description

EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for S197 Ford Mustang GT, Bullitt and Shelby GT (26 Spline Paddle Disc with CSC)

EXEDY’s Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for S197 Ford Mustang GT, Bullitt and Shelby GT with the 26-spline paddle disc is the drag-oriented member of EXEDY’s S197 range. A paddle-style cerametallic disc engages hard and fast, and EXEDY rates the kit at 734 lb-ft at the flywheel, a match for a boosted Mustang with an upgraded transmission that launches on slicks or drag radials.

Design and Performance

Turn 14 calls the disc a puck style and EXEDY USA a paddle style; both describe separate cerametallic pads rather than a full ring, which lowers rotating mass and gives a quicker, more abrupt engagement than the cushion-button discs. The 280 mm disc sits on a 26-tooth, 29.0 mm spline, rated at 930 lb-ft of clutch torque, and the concentric slave is included.

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.
