What is the advantage of a ratcheting pressure plate?

A ratcheting pressure plate is designed to maintain a more consistent clamping force as the clutch disc wears down over time. This helps ensure reliable engagement and prevents a gradual decrease in holding capacity, which is beneficial for performance applications.

Why does this clutch kit include a sprung hub disc?

The sprung hub disc incorporates springs that help to dampen torsional vibrations and shock loads from the engine and drivetrain. This makes the clutch engagement smoother, reduces noise, and helps protect the transmission from harsh impacts, especially with higher horsepower vehicles.

What else might I need when installing this clutch kit?

When replacing a clutch, it is highly recommended to also replace the pilot bearing and the rear main seal on the engine. Inspecting and potentially replacing the flywheel or having it resurfaced according to manufacturer specifications is also crucial for proper clutch operation and longevity.

About this part

Product Details

The ratcheting pressure plate in this SPEC Stage 2+ clutch kit is a notable design choice, offering a more consistent clamping force as the clutch wears.
