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

A twin-plate clutch has two friction surfaces instead of one, which significantly increases the total friction area. This allows it to handle much higher torque loads and dissipate heat more effectively, reducing the risk of clutch fade during demanding use.

How does the dampened design affect driving feel?

The dampened clutch plates incorporate springs or other mechanisms to absorb some of the initial engagement shock. This results in a smoother clutch engagement from a standstill and can make the clutch feel less abrupt in daily driving compared to a non-dampened twin-plate setup.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit is a comprehensive clutch assembly. However, it's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of required components and any additional items, such as pilot bearings or flywheel bolts, that may be needed for proper installation.

Product Details

This OS Giken 0 Grand Touring Dampened Twin Plate Clutch is built for high-performance Ferrari models like the 308 and 328 series. If you're looking to upgrade your drivetrain for more robust power handling and a more direct feel, this clutch kit is a solid option. It's designed to manage significantly more torque than the stock clutch, making it suitable for modified engines or spirited driving where the original clutch might start to slip or fade.

The '0 Grand Touring' designation means this clutch is engineered with a focus on drivability, even with its twin-plate design. It incorporates dampened clutch plates, which help absorb some of the shock and vibration typically associated with twin-plate setups. This translates to a smoother engagement from a stop and a more comfortable experience in everyday driving situations, without sacrificing the performance benefits of a twin-plate system. The twin-plate configuration itself offers a larger friction surface area, which is key to dissipating heat more effectively and handling higher torque loads. This means less chance of clutch fade during aggressive driving or repeated hard launches.

This kit includes the necessary components for a comprehensive clutch replacement, designed to fit your Ferrari 308 or 328 directly. OS Giken is well-known for its robust clutch systems, and this twin-plate setup is a testament to their engineering. While a twin-plate clutch requires a bit more attention during installation compared to a single-plate unit, the performance and durability gains are substantial for owners looking to push their classic Ferrari's capabilities further.
