XClutch 87-88 Nissan 200SX SE 3.0L Stage 2 Cushioned Ceramic Clutch Kit

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 1979-1983 Nissan 280ZX for more spirited driving, this XClutch Stage 2 cushioned ceramic clutch kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle increased torque and heat, making it suitable for performance street applications where the stock clutch might start to slip under load. It's a significant step up from a standard clutch, offering better performance without sacrificing too much daily drivability.

What sets this Stage 2 kit apart is its cushioned ceramic friction disc. Unlike a solid ceramic disc, this one has a sprung hub and additional dampening built into the friction surfaces. This design helps absorb shock and vibration, leading to a smoother engagement and improved pedal feel, which is crucial for modulating power effectively, especially in stop-and-go traffic or during aggressive acceleration. The kit also includes a heavy-duty diaphragm pressure plate, engineered to provide increased clamping force, ensuring a strong connection between the engine and drivetrain when you need it most. You'll also get a release bearing, pilot bearing, and an alignment tool to help make the installation process smoother.

This XClutch kit is recommended for vehicles that need a higher capacity for both torque holding and heat management. While it's built for performance, the cushioned design aims to maintain a comfortable pedal feel. Make sure to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding the clutch break-in procedure, as this is an important step for ensuring the longevity of your new clutch.
