A modified clutch kit isan upgraded manual transmission component designed to handle increased power and torque from a tuned or performance-oriented engine, offering higherclamping force, betterheat dissipation, and improveddurabilitycompared to a standard clutch. These kits typically use premium materials and increased clamping pressure to provide smooth engagement and excellent drivability for daily use while still supporting performance applications likechiptuning, towing, or off-roading
Why a Modified Clutch Kit is Needed
Engine Performance:When an engine's power and torque output is increased through modifications like chiptuning, the standard clutch may not be able to handle the extra stress, leading to slippage or premature failure.
Durability & Torque Capacity:A modified clutch kit is built with higher-quality components and increased clamping force to transmit higher torque and resist wear, ensuring it can handle the demands of a modified engine.
Improved Performance:These kits provide better thermal resistance to dissipate the extra heat generated by a tuned engine and offer a longer lifespan and better burst resistance.
Key Features & Benefits
Increased Clamping Force:The pressure plate and clutch disc are designed with greater clamping force to securely hold the engine's power.
Premium Materials:High-density, high-burst strength racing materials are used for the clutch plate to withstand increased heat and stress.
Smooth Engagement & Drivability:Modified kits aim to provide a good balance of performance and smooth, comfortable engagement for daily driving, often without adding extra pedal effort.
Enhanced Thermal Resistance:Designed to dissipate more heat, preventing fading and maintaining performance even under high-load conditions.
Applications
Tuned Engines:Ideal for vehicles that have undergone engine tuning, chiptuning, or other performance upgrades.
Heavy-Duty Use:Suitable for applications like towing, off-roading, or when a vehicle is used for performance driving or track days.
