Default New Clutch: Tons of Questions + American Muscle Issues!

Okay guys well doing some research I found the following.

Exedy has stage 1 clutches that come with the following:

EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit
Part Number: 07802CSC Includes CSC Hydraulic Slave Cylinder; V8; 4.6L; Gas(All)
Comes with:
Disc Size 280mm
Spline Teeth / Major Dia 10T / 27.5mm
Clamping Force/Load exerted (lbs) 3372
Disc Material Organic
Number of Disc Single
Type (Push/Pull) Push
Sprung Center (D-core) Yes
Clutch Torque 780

American Muscle Stage 1 Clutch:
(http://www.americanmuscle.com/exedy-...utch-0510.html)

Ideal replacement
Perfect for daily drivers
Organic compound disc
430 ft-lbs of torque @ flywheel
Includes alignment tool and pilot bearing

Fits 2005-2010 GT and 2008-2009 Bullitt

This kit doesn't come with the Hydraulic Slave Cylinder and higher torque readings. They're both stage 1. So what is this AM? is this the OEM replacement? Are you guys taking stuff out of boxes that Exedy includes with there kits to make more money!?? Also what's the part number!?

AmericanMuscle, what's going on here? I think you guys have your stuff listed wrong, and if it's from Exedy why is there missing parts in your kits? Are you guys taking stuff out to resell them to make more money? Are you guys selling us "Stage 1" kits that are actually OEM replacements, and your "Stage 2" is actually the Stage 1 Exedy has listed for us?


Can I please have part numbers so I can use that as reference when ordering my clutch.

Hey OP-Good questions here and I'll cut right to the chase! It's looking like both kits you have listed here have different part numbers.

Your First link: Exedy Mach 350 Stage 1 Clutch (05-10 GT) Part Number Exedy 07809LB (This is right on the product page slightly above the price)
