Centerforce Dual-Friction Clutch generate up to a 90% increase in holding capacity over stock systems. This clutch disk set is designed for use with engines producing high horsepower and torque output, and radically altered high performance street vehicles. All Centerforce dual-friction clutch systems provide smooth engagement and light pedal pressure without compromising high performance.
A dual-friction clutch transmission offers the function of two manual gearboxes in one. To understand what this means, it's helpful to review how a conventional manual gearbox works. When a driver wants to change from one gear to another in a standard stick-shift car, he first presses down the clutch pedal. This operates a single clutch, which disconnects the engine from the gearbox and interrupts power flow to the transmission. Then the driver uses the stick shift to select a new gear, a process that involves moving a toothed collar from one gear wheel to another gear wheel of a different size. Devices called synchronizers match the gears before they are engaged to prevent grinding. Once the new gear is engaged, the driver releases the clutch pedal, which re-connects the engine to the gearbox and transmits power to the wheels.
Replacing your standard clutch kit with a dual-friction clutch kit will provide more stability while shifting and acceleration. Adding a dual-friction clutch will increase the life of the clutch when used in extreme conditions.
