Competition Clutch 96-99 Infiniti I30 / 85-01 Nissan Maxima 3.0L Stage 3 Clutch Kit

When you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 1985-2001 Nissan Maxima or 1996-1999 Infiniti I30 with the 3.0L engine, this Stage 3 clutch kit from Competition Clutch is a solid option. This kit is designed for drivers who want a significant increase in torque handling, making it suitable for both daily driving and more spirited use at the strip.

What you get in this kit is a complete package to get the job done. It includes a Competition Clutch performance pressure plate, a high-torque sprung disc featuring segmented ceramic facings for durability and performance, a throw-out bearing, a pilot bearing or bushing, and the essential alignment tool to make installation smoother. The segmented ceramic material is chosen for its ability to handle higher torque loads while still providing a quick but smooth engagement, which is crucial for a streetable performance clutch. This setup can handle up to a 150% increase in torque capacity over stock, giving you confidence when you put the power down.

This Stage 3 kit is a popular choice for those building a street/strip car. The combination of the performance pressure plate and the sprung ceramic disc is engineered to offer a good balance between holding power and drivability. It's important to note that a clutch replacement is a labor-intensive job, and it's always a good idea to have all the necessary supporting components and tools ready before you begin. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on the process.
