What is the benefit of a dampened twin-plate clutch?

A dampened twin-plate clutch uses multiple friction surfaces to handle more power and torque, while the sprung center hub absorbs drivetrain shock. This combination offers improved engagement feel and greater durability compared to a single-plate setup, making it suitable for both street and track use.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch assembly components. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of required tools and any additional parts, such as a new flywheel or rear main seal, that may be needed for proper installation.

What is the break-in procedure for this OS Giken clutch?

OS Giken typically recommends a specific break-in period for their performance clutches to ensure proper mating of the friction surfaces. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions included with the clutch for the exact break-in procedure and mileage recommendations.

Product Details

The OS Giken Grand Touring Dampened Twin Plate Clutch is built with a unique sprung center hub design, a key feature that helps absorb drivetrain shock and vibration. This is especially important for a high-performance vehicle like the BMW E46 M3, where you want to maintain a smooth driving experience without sacrificing clutch performance. This twin-plate setup is designed to handle the increased power and torque often found in modified S54 engines, offering a significant upgrade over the stock clutch.

Constructed with durable materials, this clutch assembly uses multiple friction plates to distribute the load, which not only increases its capacity but also helps to reduce wear on each individual plate. The dampened design means you get a more comfortable engagement feel at lower speeds, making it suitable for daily driving, while still providing the strong clamping force needed for spirited driving and track use. OS Giken is known for its well-built performance components, and this clutch is no exception, offering a solid option for M3 owners looking for a reliable and high-performing drivetrain upgrade.

When installing this clutch, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures carefully. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch, but proper alignment and break-in are crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Ensure you have the necessary tools and consider replacing your rear main seal and pilot bearing while the transmission is out to avoid future issues.
