OS Giken Toyota CELICA / MR-2 0 R Series Dampened Twin Plate w/Floating Center Hub Clutch

If you're looking to significantly upgrade the clutch system on your 1986-1989 Toyota Celica, especially if you're pushing more power or planning for track use, the OS Giken R Series Dampened Twin Plate Clutch Kit is a serious consideration. This isn't just a replacement part; it's a performance upgrade designed to handle higher torque loads and provide a more direct connection between your engine and drivetrain. The twin-plate design is key here, distributing the clamping force over two friction surfaces, which dramatically increases the torque capacity compared to a single-plate setup. This means less chance of clutch slip under aggressive acceleration or when dealing with modified engines.

What sets this OS Giken kit apart is its dampened twin-plate design with a floating center hub. The dampening springs in the clutch disc help absorb some of the shock and vibration typically associated with twin-plate clutches, making it more manageable for daily driving and reducing stress on your transmission. The floating center hub further refines engagement, allowing for smoother operation and better alignment. OS Giken is well-known for its robust clutch components, and this R Series kit is built with durable materials to withstand the demands of spirited driving and racing applications. The kit includes everything needed for installation, ensuring a comprehensive upgrade.

When installing a high-performance clutch like this, it's always a good idea to have a new flywheel or resurface your existing one to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Also, consider replacing your clutch release bearing and pilot bearing while the transmission is out, as these are wear items that can affect clutch feel and function. This OS Giken kit represents a substantial investment in your Celica's drivetrain, offering a well-built solution for those seeking maximum clutch performance and reliability.
