Organic Friction Material

Organic clutch material is a top choice for drivers seeking smooth, reliable performance for everyday use. Made from a blend of woven organic fibers and resin compounds, it offers excellent friction stability, making it ideal for street driving where comfort and longevity are priorities. Its consistent engagement and reduced noise make it particularly suited for daily drivers, light towing, and moderate performance applications where clutch feel matters.

Designed to handle moderate torque loads, organic clutch discs excel in standard driving conditions but may wear faster under extreme stress compared to performance-based materials. However, they remain a cost-effective and dependable option for drivers who prioritize comfort and balanced performance over extreme power handling.

Daily Clutch

The Daily clutch is tailored for everyday driving with a focus on comfort, smooth engagement, and longevity. Engineered for standard vehicles and mild performance builds, it offers a factory-like pedal feel while still providing slightly improved clamping force and heat resistance for light towing or minor modifications.

Perfect for daily drivers and light-duty vehicles, the Daily clutch balances performance and drivability, ensuring a comfortable experience in stop-and-go traffic. While not suited for extreme power handling, it is an excellent choice for drivers prioritizing reliability and ease of use.

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.

Button Disc Style

The button clutch disc, also known as a puck-style disc, features small friction pads (or buttons) spaced around the disc rather than a full friction surface. This segmented design reduces rotating mass, improving throttle response and heat dissipation. It is commonly used in performance vehicles where quick power transfer and reduced clutch fade are essential.

While button discs offer improved power handling and reduced weight, they often result in a more aggressive clutch engagement with less modulation, making them better suited for racing, performance driving, and modified street vehicles rather than casual daily use.

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.

Stage 3 Clutch

A Stage 3 clutch is built for high-performance and heavy-duty applications where aggressive power handling is required. Typically using ceramic or feramic materials, this clutch provides exceptional heat resistance and torque capacity, making it ideal for vehicles with significant power modifications, such as forced induction or high-horsepower diesel builds.

While Stage 3 clutches offer superior performance under load, they often result in a firmer pedal feel and more abrupt engagement, which may be challenging for casual driving. This stage is best suited for high-performance vehicles, drag racing, and extreme towing where maximum power transfer is crucial.
