It's worth noting my old one may or may not have been brand new when it went in, I had thought it was, but could be mistaken as it was an add-on job as part of more extensive work and the part wasn't pre-ordered. Noone else seems to have had such issues, so I would probably take my situation with a pinch of grit salt  s;) ;) s;)  I replaced with Exedy again this time, but definitely a new part this time  s:) :) s:)

Does the new one feel significantly different/better than the other?
To give the new one a fair outing, did you have the flywheel checked/skimmed to ensure flatness?
Do you feel any judder on initial take up?

Just curious.

The clutch plate has got springs, so it'll be a single-mass flywheel.

Are Exedy really the OEM supplier for the Roadster?

From what i have read they are. Having worked in automotive manufacturing most car companies use a number of suppliers for service parts through out the life of the car

Like night and day, Jase, feels smooth as a freshly waxed Custard mr2 bum now.
