What is the main advantage of a twin disc clutch over a single disc clutch?

A twin disc clutch uses two friction surfaces, which allows it to handle significantly more torque and horsepower than a single disc clutch of similar size. It also helps reduce pedal effort for a given torque capacity and can offer a more manageable engagement for high-power applications.

Does this clutch kit come with everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the twin disc clutch assembly and a lightweight aluminum flywheel. It is recommended to inspect and potentially replace other drivetrain components like the pilot bearing and release bearing during installation, which may need to be purchased separately.

How does the aluminum flywheel affect performance?

The aluminum flywheel is considerably lighter than a stock steel flywheel. This reduced rotational mass allows the engine to rev up more quickly and improves throttle response, making the vehicle feel more agile, especially during acceleration and gear changes.

About this part

Product Details

Clutch Masters is well-known for making strong clutch components that can handle serious power. This 725 Series twin disc clutch kit is a prime example, built for the 1998-2002 Toyota Altezza with the 3SGE engine and a 6-speed transmission. If you're pushing your Altezza hard, whether on the track or in spirited street driving, a stock clutch just won't cut it. This twin disc setup is designed to handle significantly more torque and horsepower than a single disc, giving you the grip and durability you need when you're really asking a lot from your drivetrain.

What makes this kit stand out is its twin disc design. Having two friction surfaces means the clamping force is spread out, allowing for a smaller overall diameter while still achieving a higher torque capacity. This also helps reduce the amount of pedal effort needed compared to a single disc clutch with similar holding power, making it more comfortable for daily driving or longer sessions. The kit includes a lightweight aluminum flywheel, which helps with quicker engine response and allows the engine to rev up faster. This is a race-ready clutch, so expect a more aggressive engagement feel than a stock clutch, but it's designed to be manageable for street use too. The friction materials are chosen for their ability to withstand high temperatures generated during aggressive driving and repeated launches.

When installing a high-performance clutch like this, it's important to ensure your flywheel and pressure plates are properly resurfaced or new, and that all alignment is perfect. This kit is a significant upgrade for anyone looking to maximize their Altezza's performance potential and ensure their clutch can keep up with their engine's power output. It's a well-built system designed for demanding applications where reliability and performance are paramount.
