Clutch Masters 80-82 Toyota Corolla 1.8L 3TC Eng 5-Spd FX500 Race Stage 5

This is the Clutch Masters FX500 Race Stage 5 clutch kit, specifically made for the 1980-1982 and 1984-1987 Toyota Corolla models equipped with the 1.8L 3TC engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. If you're pushing your Corolla hard, whether on the track or in spirited street driving, a robust clutch is essential for transferring power effectively and reliably. This kit is designed to handle significantly more torque than the stock clutch, making it a solid choice for modified engines or demanding use.

The FX500 Race Stage 5 clutch features a sprung multi-plate design, which is a step up in performance and durability for high-horsepower applications. This type of clutch offers a larger friction surface area and a more even clamping force distribution, helping to manage heat and wear under extreme conditions. It's built with high-quality materials to ensure it can withstand the abuse of aggressive driving and frequent engagement. While it's a race-oriented clutch, Clutch Masters aims for a balance that still allows for manageable engagement, though it will feel firmer than a stock clutch.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure your flywheel is in good condition, resurfaced, or replaced as needed. This kit includes the necessary components to replace your entire clutch assembly, but always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and torque specifications. This is a serious upgrade for Corollas that demand more from their drivetrain.
