RPM Performance Clutch Systems have been refined and developed over 15 years for street performance applications. Offering higher torque capacity and the ability to "tune" the system via the use of one of four different types of clutch plate, the RPM Clutch system is first choice for street performance. RPM Kits are available for 3,523 applications (and we’re expanding the range). Each is a stronger more capable clutch, engineered to enhance your vehicle's performance.
Clutch Plate Options
Your clutch system can be further enhanced by the selection of one of four performance clutch plates. Each meets a specific driving requirement and builds on the performance characteristics of the RPM Cover Assembly. Options include:
|

|
Level 1: Organic
A sprung centre type clutch plate designed for drive-ability. These clutch plates use an Organic friction material resistant to slippage and burst. They provide good pedal feel and progressive take up when matched with a high capacity cover assembly.
|
Level 2: SSCC
A sprung centre type clutch plate with cerametallic friction material bonded to a backing plate. There is dampening between the backing plates improving modulation. Torque capacity is increased however the concession is a slightly harsher engagement when compared to a clutch plate using organic friction material.
|
Level 3: SSC
A sprung centre type clutch plate with cerametallic buttons rivetted to the disc. This type of plate typically has less inertia than a standard plate and this can translate into a faster shift with a reduced shift effort.
|
Level 4: SC
The SC option is a rigid clutch plate with cerametallic buttons rivetted to the disc.
The cerametallic buttons increase the torque capacity of the clutch without requiring an
increase in clutch size.
The cerametallic material has a high coefficient of friction. This provides a very positive engagement and is either in or out. It is not suitable for being purposely slipped.

The Australian Outback is among the most challenging environments anywhere in the world. When your in the middle of nowhere on a 38º slope, edging over the rock on the left and the wash on the right, you need to know that the clutch is engineered specifically for the unique demands of 4x4 applications. 4Terrain Clutch Kits are a tough, durable clutch with great design features, which still retains the fine modulation control and comfortable pedal effort required for navigating difficult terrain.
The Track Series products represent the pinnacle of advanced design, materials science, durability and quality as applied to high speed performance clutch systems. Based on leading edge technology and race experience, the Track Series is ideal for Performance Enthusiasts and Racers who spend their time on Tarmac Rallies, Tarmac or Circuit Racing.
More useable power, improved throttle response, reduced shift times and extended engine life are all made possible by a lightened flywheel. Installing a Lightened Flywheel lowers the moment of inertia characteristics of the engine. Put in simple terms, it reduces the amount of horsepower needed to turn the flywheel so that horsepower can be used to turn the wheels. This improves performance and is easily accommodated as part of a clutchupgrade.
