Clutch Components
A performance clutch system is one of the most impactful drivetrain upgrades available for any manual transmission vehicle. From street-friendly organic disc kits to heavy-duty ceramic setups built for drag racing and track use, matching the right clutch components to your power level and driving style keeps engagement consistent and power transfer reliable.Popular UpgradesStage 1 and Stage 2 clutch kits with upgraded pressure plates and organic or hybrid friction discs are the most popular choice for street builds making 300 to 500 horsepower. Stage 3 and Stage 4 ceramic or Kevlar disc setups handle the demands of forced induction or high-compression builds. Lightweight aluminum flywheels paired with upgraded clutch kits improve rev response and make gear changes faster on both street and track applications.What clutch stage do I need for my build?Stage 1 clutches are rated for lightly modified street engines up to about 350 horsepower. Stage 2 kits cover 350 to 500 horsepower with...

Clutch Lines
Hydraulic clutch lines carry fluid pressure between the clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder, translating pedal input into precise clutch disengagement. Upgraded stainless-steel braided clutch lines replace expandable rubber OEM lines to deliver firmer, more consistent pedal feel, especially on high-output builds where fluid temperature rises under heavy use.Popular UpgradesStainless-steel braided clutch lines with AN-to-OEM adapter fittings are the most popular upgrade for performance street and track vehicles. These lines resist expansion under pressure, eliminating the spongy pedal feel that develops when rubber OEM lines age or are subjected to elevated fluid temperatures. Remote reservoir relocation kits that pair with upgraded clutch lines are also popular for engine bays with tight clearances.Why does my clutch pedal feel spongy after a fluid flush?A spongy clutch pedal after bleeding typically indicates residual air in the hydraulic line or a worn clutch line that i...
