Performance Clutches

When a vehicle's power or torque is increased, the factory clutch reaches its limit and starts to slip: the engine revs but the car does not accelerate normally because the power is not being transmitted properly. An uprated clutch increases clamping force and torque capacity to handle the extra power without losing reliability.

Fitted with a single torsional damper or none at all. Very fast, direct engagement. Greater torque capacity but harsher engagement; used in modified and competition cars.

⚠ May cause noise at idle due to misalignment between the crankshaft and the gearbox

The central splines are joined to a floating hub with compression springs that absorb torsional vibrations. Smoother, quieter engagement. Ideal for light to moderate power and daily use.

It uses separate segments instead of a continuous friction disc. It improves heat dissipation and response in quick gear changes. The more paddles, the more progressive the grip, although always more aggressive than a conventional disc.

When you increase your vehicle's power or torque through a remap, a turbo or engine tuning. If you notice that the engine revs but the car does not accelerate normally, the factory clutch is probably slipping.

A sprung disc incorporates compression springs that absorb vibrations, giving smooth engagement that is ideal for the road. A rigid disc has no such springs (or only one), so engagement is more direct and harsher, which is typical of competition.

The release bearing keeps the correct pedal feel. If it is worn and not replaced, the pedal travel is altered even with a new disc and pressure plate.

The clutch slips, there is noise in neutral when you press the pedal and it is difficult to disengage. A factory disc lasts between 100,000 and 120,000 km, depending on driving style.

In general, no. It offers maximum grip, but engagement is harsh and requires more pedal effort. It is designed for competition, not for the comfort of everyday driving in town.
