Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit
The Stage 1 Organic uses a traditional organic friction plate designed for seamless engagement and smooth take-up. Ideal for stock or mildly tuned vehicles, it maintains factory-like drivability and pedal feel. Torque handling mirrors OEM limits, making it perfect for daily commuters and weekend cruisers
Stage 1 Street HD Clutch Kit
Featuring a hardened organic plate, this kit boosts torque capacity without sacrificing the familiar engagement you expect from an organic setup. It’s tailored for drivers who push their cars harder on road trips or enjoy an occasional B-Road blast. Expect improved durability under heat and repeat starts, while retaining comfort during stop-start traffic
Stage 2 Sport Clutch Kit
When your engine mods outpace the OEM clutch, the Stage 2 steps up. Its sintered-iron centre plate tolerates higher temperatures and torque spikes, delivering firm engagement suited to track-days and turbocharged or supercharged applications. Pedal effort rises just enough to convey clear bite without turning your daily commute into a leg-day workout.
Stage 3 Sport Clutch Kit
Engineered for the uncompromising, the Stage 3 Cerametallic plate handles the most extreme loads and sustained heat cycles. If you’re tackling motorsport events, drag strips or running aggressive maps, this kit remains consistent lap after lap. Engagement is very direct—expect a crisp bite and higher pedal pressure, the trade-off for championship-grade performance.
Matching Your Drive to the Right Clutch
- Be realistic with your goals, power outputs and torque levels.
- Identify whether daily comfort or track consistency is your priority.
- Consult power figures and usage scenarios against the table above.
- Choose the stage that sits just above your peak torque to maximise longevity without comprimising the longevity of the clutch
Performance Clutches delivers a simple philosophy: give each application exactly the torque capacity it needs, no more and no less. Whether you’re refining a garage-queen project or chasing track trophies, there’s a stage tuned to elevate your drive. c
