Hello,

My clutch is almost all gone after my trip on the weekend.

Can anyone recommend a really good, heavy duty clutch for my Feroza that disperses heat really well (this one burnt out).

Seek ( search ) and ye shall find, its a fairly common question.

Quick answer - no.

Hi up in brissie land I put a EXDEY HEAVY DUTY CLUTCH no promblem so far had in for 2 years towing and everything and still going just my thoughts Though Frezzoa

Exedy do a sports clutch for the Feroza but no Heavy Duty, but should be a lot better than stock clutch just had one put in my Fez and so far so good.

Sure it wasn't an Applause clutch ? It all fits on to the Feroza flywheel but actually has a smaller driven plate diameter than the Feroza - so its actually has a lower torque potential than a comparable Feroza clutch.

Seen this done before, on paper it appears to be the answer, its only when you measure the parts up do you spot the difference.

Personally I found the combination a bit too sudden for my liking, a stock driven plate with the heavy duty pressure plate was more to my liking, but its a matter of preference.

And FYI i easily managed to destroy the HD clutch..... bad transfer ratios cant be solved by clutches

The Exedy heavy duty clutch (the sports clutch) was the one I had in there and it was great until it burnt! I want something a bit more heavy duty that wont burn out as quickly.
I looked through the posts MM as you suggested but they all mention the Daikin clutch, but it seems Exedy has bought Daikin out.

Exedy will custom make clutches to you specs if you want not sure on the cash cost but, there is someone on the forum who posted up being able to get custom ones from exedy (check the Misc for sale post).

A custom one would be worth looking into IMO, but your never going to overcome the transmission limitations with a clutch.

All that's going to happen is that the time taken to burn it out will get a bit longer but certainly not avoided.

Disadvantage of a custom unit is just that..... its going to take time and $$ every time you need it replaced and its not going to be as progressive in its feel as a standard system.

If you have ever driven a car with a ceramic puck clutch you'll understand that power transmission ratings come at the expense of clutch progression.

Slipping the clutch really isn't a workable long term solution IMO - custom may extend the burnouts slightly but.......
