Lightweight Cover and Redesigned Diaphragm Spring Normally, high capacity clutches come heavy pedal feel. HKS have insisted on a diaphragm spring design and used its properties to achieve a pedal which is easy to use on the street but also has a positive feel for accurate control even on the circuit. Cover is made from high strength forged aluminum. |

8.5 Inch "MG Composite Disc" with Damper A newly designed 8.5 inch disc is used to support high torque levels. Adding a damper reduces gear noise and protects the power train from sudden shocks and damage. A stable frictional coefficient makes the clutch easier to use for reducing judder. |

Accurate Disengagement and Friction/ Wear Balance form "Lifting Plate" Lifting plates attached to the center plate ensures that the clutch disc remains center when disengaged. This extends clutch disc life and also reduces the noise that is heard on multi plate clutches. |
|
"Pivot Ring" for Superior Semi Engaged Clutch Feel A low strength ring shaped spring on the pressure plate (pivot ring) increases the semi engaged zone of the clutch. This gives a much smoother driving feel which lacks on high capacity clutches. |
|
"Lightweight Flywheel" for Improved Response An ideal flywheel weight for each vehicle is calculated and tested in order to reduce the weight for improving response but not to make it too light that the vehicle becomes uncomfortable to drive. The overall weight of the kit is lighter than that of stock clutch. |

"Allowable Range" is the range of engine torque which is allowable unless the clutch is overheated by intentional clutch semi-engagement. "Conditional Allowable Range" is the range where slippage may occur due to rough handling, kickback from tires, and component distortion. "Range beyond Allowable Range" is the range that slippage occurs when a clutch is being engaged under high RPM. "Mechanical Limit" is the point that slippage occurs when during acceleration. |
