Performance Clutches at JXL Performance

While the name Performance Clutches might be a relatively new addition to the aftermarket tuning scene, the engineering and manufacturing experience behind their hardware is firmly established. When you drastically increase engine torque through aggressive ECU calibration or big turbo conversions, the factory clutch simply cannot provide the necessary clamping force, resulting in immediate clutch slip and lost power. Performance Clutches specializes in high quality two piece and three piece upgraded clutch kits designed specifically to handle massive torque spikes without sacrificing daily drivability.

Tailored Friction Materials and Heavy Duty Clamping

Because every tuning journey is different, installing an aggressive motorsport clutch on a daily driven vehicle is often a mistake. Performance Clutches offers tailored solutions based on your exact power output and driving style. For Stage 1 and Stage 2 vehicles, their upgraded organic friction discs paired with heavy duty pressure plates provide a massive increase in torque holding capacity while maintaining a smooth, factory like pedal feel.

For dedicated track cars or extreme torque builds, their Stage 3 clutch options deliver the absolute maximum bite required to launch the car violently off the line. 

Essential Drivetrain Strength for VAG and Ford Platforms

These clutch kits have been exceptionally well received across the modern tuning market, proving particularly popular for resolving factory drivetrain weakness on European hatchbacks. In the VAG tuning scene, upgrading the manual clutch is an absolute necessity when pushing the 2.0 TSI EA888.3 engine. Performance Clutches provides the exact hardware required to lock down the drivetrain on the all wheel drive VW Golf R Mk7, the front wheel drive Golf GTI, and the highly capable Audi S1.

They are equally popular in the fast Ford market, delivering the reliable clamping force required to harness big torque from the EcoBoost engines found in the Mk7 Fiesta ST and the Mk3 Focus RS.
