A performance clutch is designed to provide improved clamping force and/or an alternative friction material to increase the torque capacity of the clutch. This allows the clutch to handle increased engine performance without slipping or failing.
The Stage 1 clutch kit uses an upgraded pressure plate with increased clamping pressure, combined with an organic friction disc. Stage 1 delivers substantial increases in performance and power holding capability whilst retaining near factory type driveability, and is designed primarily for high performance road going vehicles.
These kits feature a high quality cover with increased clamping force compared with standard, between 20-40% depending on the demands of the individual vehicle.
They use an organic friction disc to retain drive-ability similar to standard.
This kit is ideal for street performance and towing.
