What is the main benefit of a twin-plate clutch over a single-plate clutch?

A twin-plate clutch uses two friction discs instead of one. This distributes the load and heat over a larger area, allowing it to handle significantly more torque and providing more consistent engagement, especially during aggressive driving.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the OS Giken TR Series Twin Plate Clutch assembly and a lightened flywheel. It is recommended to inspect and replace the clutch release bearing and pilot bearing during installation, as these are critical for proper operation and are not always included.

Will this clutch be difficult to drive in daily traffic?

Performance twin-plate clutches typically have a more abrupt engagement than stock clutches. While it allows for direct connection to the drivetrain, it may require some adjustment for smooth daily driving compared to a softer, stock clutch.

Product Details

This OS Giken TR Series Twin Plate Clutch Kit with a lightened flywheel is specifically made for your 1995 BMW M3 with the S50 engine. If you're looking to handle more power, get a more direct feel from your clutch pedal, or simply want a well-built replacement for a worn-out stock unit, this kit is a solid choice. OS Giken is known for making robust drivetrain components, and this twin-plate setup is designed to handle demanding use.

The twin-plate design means there are two friction surfaces for the clutch disc, which helps distribute the load and heat more effectively than a single-plate clutch. This not only allows it to handle significantly more torque but also contributes to a more consistent engagement feel, especially under aggressive driving conditions. The included lightened flywheel is crucial for this type of performance clutch. It reduces rotational mass, allowing your engine to rev up and down more quickly, which can improve throttle response and make the car feel more lively. OS Giken uses their own proprietary friction materials for these plates, balancing grip with drivability.

When installing a twin-plate clutch like this, it's important to understand that engagement can be more abrupt than a stock clutch. This is normal for performance applications and is part of what gives you that direct connection to the drivetrain. You'll want to ensure your clutch release bearing and pilot bearing are in good condition before installation, as they are critical for proper clutch operation. This kit includes the clutch assembly and the lightened flywheel, ready for installation by a qualified mechanic.
