Competition Clutch

The Competition clutch is built for the highest levels of motorsport performance, designed for vehicles requiring maximum torque capacity, heat resistance, and power transfer. Often featuring multi-disc setups with ceramic or feramic materials, this clutch level is ideal for professional racing, extreme off-road use, and high-powered diesel trucks.

Competition clutches deliver aggressive engagement and minimal slippage, prioritizing performance over comfort. The stiff pedal feel and harsh engagement make them best suited for specialized racing environments where absolute power handling and durability are required under extreme conditions.

Solid Hub Style

A solid hub clutch design is engineered for maximum durability and torque transfer, making it ideal for high-performance and heavy-duty applications. This style features a rigid hub without any internal damping springs, providing a direct connection between the engine and transmission. The solid hub excels in delivering instant power transfer, making it perfect for racing, track use, and extreme towing where immediate clutch engagement is crucial.

Due to its lack of shock absorption, solid hub clutches can produce a harsher engagement feel and increased drivetrain noise compared to sprung hub alternatives. However, their simplicity and robustness make them a top choice for drivers demanding maximum performance in controlled environments where comfort is less critical.

Full Face Disc Style

The full face clutch disc is designed for smooth engagement, even wear, and maximum surface contact with the pressure plate and flywheel. Covering the entire friction surface, this design provides excellent power transfer, making it ideal for daily drivers, light towing, and vehicles where comfort and longevity are top priorities. The increased surface area allows for better heat distribution, reducing the risk of premature wear.

Full face discs excel in standard and moderate performance applications, offering a balanced blend of drivability and durability. However, they may lack the aggressive grip required for extreme power handling compared to paddle-style discs, making them better suited for stock to lightly modified vehicles.

Dual Disc

The dual disc clutch offers increased performance and power-handling capacity by utilizing two friction discs instead of one. This design effectively doubles the surface area for power transfer, allowing for greater torque capacity and improved heat dissipation. Dual disc setups are ideal for performance vehicles, heavy towing, and high-horsepower applications where a standard single disc may fall short.

Despite the enhanced power capacity, dual disc clutches can still provide smooth engagement when paired with a sprung hub design. They strike an excellent balance between performance and drivability, making them a preferred choice for modified street vehicles and diesel trucks requiring extra holding power.

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.

Stage 5 Clutch

Stage 5 clutches represent the pinnacle of extreme performance and power handling. Designed for professional-level motorsports and the most demanding heavy-duty applications, they are built with reinforced components and feramic materials capable of withstanding extreme heat and torque loads. This design allows for virtually no slippage, making them ideal for drag racing, pulling competitions, and high-horsepower diesel setups.

However, Stage 5 clutches are not recommended for street use due to their extremely aggressive engagement, stiff pedal feel, and minimal shock absorption. They are specifically designed for situations where maximum performance takes precedence over comfort and drivability.
