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 Kits - Single
Single-disc clutch kits provide everything needed to replace the core friction components in a manual transmission system in one box. A disc, pressure plate, and release bearing shipped together as a matched kit eliminates the guesswork of sourcing compatible parts separately and ensures consistent performance from break-in through the life of the clutch.Popular UpgradesStage 1 organic single-disc kits are the best choice for street-driven vehicles at stock or lightly modified power levels, offering a smooth pedal feel close to OEM. Stage 2 kits using a high-clamp pressure plate and a sprung-hub organic disc are the most popular upgrade for modified street engines in the 300 to 500 horsepower range. Stage 3 ceramic single-disc kits handle forced induction builds where heat resistance and torque capacity are the primary requirements.What does a single-disc clutch kit include?A single-disc clutch kit typically includes one friction disc, one pressure plate assembly, and one release be...
