Organic friction material is ideal for drivers who value smooth engagement and drivability for everyday use.

Lastly, Kevlar offers the best of both worlds, with excellent wear resistance and a more forgiving engagement than ceramic, making it suitable for sporty off-road driving and moderate towing.
Our clutch kits are designed with a single disc style, ensuring a direct fit and straightforward installation process. The inclusion of a diaphragm pressure plate modified for improved performance and durability further enhances the clutch's reliability and service life. To ensure a seamless installation and maintenance experience, our kits come complete with a throw-out bearing, alignment tool, and in some options, a steel pilot bushing.
