BEWARE OF IMITATIONS
Picture below depicts a common way these sellers will display anEXEDY box and even claim it’s an “EXEDY clutch kit” when infact only ONE piece of the kit is genuine EXEDY.
In short, they are mis-matching inferior items, preying upon thosewho trust the EXEDY name.

Difference in Performance.Variation in Pressure Plate Lift:
Imitation does not meet the standard requirement (within 0.2mm maximum).This might cause a mechanical jadder.
Lever Height:Neither of the inferior copies meet the standard requirements of the initial lever height.
Compared to EXEDY, the imitation are 2~3mm taller in height. This might causea lever to malfunction at the initial release and also cause a poor engagementand disengagement.

EXEDY release bearing has a required height of 13mm. The inferior copy is1mm longer which will affect the preload and stroke (results in poor clutchengagement and disengagement). It might also interfere with the transmission housing.
