XClutch 92-93 Lexus ES300 Base 3.0L Stage 2 Cushioned Ceramic Clutch Kit

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 1996-2000 Toyota RAV4 for more demanding street performance, this Stage 2 cushioned ceramic clutch kit from XClutch is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle higher torque loads and dissipate heat more effectively than a stock clutch, making it well-suited for spirited driving or situations where you need extra grip and durability.

XClutch has put a lot of thought into these Stage 2 kits. They use a heavy-duty diaphragm pressure plate that increases clamping force, ensuring a strong connection between the engine and drivetrain. The cushioned ceramic friction disc is a key feature here; it has a sprung hub and extra dampening built in. This not only helps absorb shock and vibration for a smoother engagement but also improves pedal modulation, giving you more control during shifts. This combination is ideal for performance street applications where you need a clutch that can take the heat and hold the power.

When you order this kit, you'll receive the friction disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. It also includes a pilot bearing and an alignment tool, which are crucial for getting the clutch installed correctly. Having these included makes the job much more straightforward. Remember to always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the proper procedure and any specific torque specifications.
