Anywho, i feel like we should all know this by now 7+ years later.
He was familiar with the issue and thought the cause was deflection of the pressure plate housing at high rpm.
All modern Coyote variants are, as far as I know. I'm talking about the pins between the flywheel and the pressure plate housing. GT and Boss are different.Are the both 8 bolt?
Boss2620,
I too think you will be extremely happy with the Exedy set-up as you describe. My install is also comprised of the Exedy Racing Stage 1 Organic Clutch kit (07807csc) w/the Exedy Aluminum Flywheel (EF502A). The MGW Short Throw Shifter, Shelby ISO Clutch Resevoir (384320), and Whiteline Transmission Mount Bushing Insert (KDT928) and Exedy combination completely eliminated high RPM/lateral torque lock outs I had also experienced with my 2012 Boss. My 302 is a daily driver that is driven to/from 3-4 HPDE events a year in SoCal. Since I have no engine modifications, the Racing Stage 1 variant also recommended to me by Exedy serves my purposes well.
This particular set-up also exhibits impeccable road manners and is quite a comfortable vehicle for my wife to drive on local grocery runs at low speed/low RPM with the occasional "oops, I think I started (from a red light) in 2nd gear" excursions.
Recommend against staying with the stock clutch. Its the cause of the majority of shift lockout issues and synchro damage.
My bad. I forgot about this issue as I rarely experienced it. But I don´t have a Boss either. Listen to Swine.
On the other hand, the MGW did not change anything for me. For me the car shifts the same, just has more NVH. This is completely subjective, but in my experience the MGW is a bit overrated. Again, not a Boss and I shift at 6900.
Surprised to find that he doesn't recommend the Exedy Hyper Single since every PWC, IMSA, TA and SCCA Boss 302 that I've ever seen or heard from uses one.
Do you think the Exedy Hyper Single would be ok for 470 to 480 rwhp???
It is torque, not horsepower that breaks a clutch and drive line parts. Excedy rates the S197 Hyper Single kits torque capacity at 506 ft /lbsn - which is a lot more torque than a normally aspirated Coyote motor can typically produce.
Cool thanksExcedy's ratings are at the wheel.
