Organic/Feramic Multi-Friction Material

The organic/feramic combo clutch material blends the smooth engagement of organic fibers with the extreme heat resistance and durability of feramic compounds. This dual-sided design is engineered for vehicles that need a step above standard performance while still maintaining drivability for daily use. The organic side ensures a comfortable pedal feel, while the feramic side provides aggressive friction for high-power applications.

This combination makes it particularly effective for heavy towing, off-road use, and performance street vehicles requiring enhanced heat dissipation without sacrificing clutch feel. The organic/feramic blend is ideal for those seeking both power and control in demanding conditions.

Endurance Clutch

The Endurance clutch is designed for long-lasting durability in demanding driving conditions. Built with heavy-duty materials such as Kevlar and ceramic composites, it offers excellent heat resistance and minimal wear over time. This clutch level is ideal for vehicles involved in long-distance towing, off-road endurance races, and high-mileage applications where reliability is critical.

Endurance clutches provide a moderate pedal feel while offering superior wear resistance compared to standard designs. Though slightly stiffer than a Daily clutch, the enhanced longevity makes it a preferred choice for vehicles regularly subjected to heavy loads and extended use.

Sprung Hub Style

The sprung hub clutch is a versatile design focused on balancing performance with drivability. It features a series of dampening springs integrated into the hub, which help absorb vibrations and reduce shock during clutch engagement. This design is ideal for daily drivers, street performance vehicles, and light towing, where smooth gear changes and reduced drivetrain stress are essential.

By minimizing shock transfer, the sprung hub clutch prolongs the life of other drivetrain components, making it a reliable option for vehicles needing both comfort and moderate power handling. While slightly less direct in power transfer than a solid hub, it offers a superior driving experience for most street and light performance applications.

Single Disc

A single disc clutch is the most common and straightforward clutch design, featuring one friction disc to transfer power from the engine to the transmission. Known for its simplicity and reliability, it is ideal for standard vehicles, daily drivers, and light performance applications. Single disc clutches provide smooth engagement, making them perfect for casual driving and moderate power outputs.

While single disc clutches offer excellent drivability and cost-effectiveness, they have limited torque capacity compared to multi-disc setups. This design is best suited for vehicles with moderate horsepower levels where comfort, longevity, and ease of use are the primary concerns.

Modified Pressure Plate

A modified pressure plate is engineered to deliver increased clamping force, enhancing torque capacity and overall clutch performance. This upgraded design often features reinforced components, heavier diaphragm springs, or altered fulcrum points to provide superior grip on the clutch disc. Ideal for high-performance vehicles, heavy towing, and racing applications, a modified pressure plate ensures reliable power transfer under extreme loads.

While modified pressure plates offer enhanced power handling, they often result in a stiffer clutch pedal feel due to the increased spring pressure. This trade-off is generally acceptable for performance-focused applications where power capacity is prioritized over everyday comfort.
