I wouldn't consider Exedy to be a second rate clutch company. Exedy was also not always known as Exedy, they were known as Daikin clutch. Started there sales here in the USA in 1977, but have been making clutches since 1923. Yes Nissan/Datsun have been around longer but not by much.Wc240 wrote:i used to work for nissan as well. and i believe nissan was in buisness for a little longer than exedy, a second rate clutch company. thats why i was asking since when. whasnt saying i didnt believe you
