Looking for a heavy duty, uprated clutch kit for Ford 1.5 TDCi and 1.6 TDCi, Volvo and Mazda 6-speed applications? The RTS Performance Clutch Kit delivers a serious clutch upgrade with OE-like pedal feel, higher clamp load and outstanding heat management. Ideal as a performance clutch for daily driving, fast road and track use. Choose the HD Organic, Twin Friction or 5 Paddle option to match your torque target and driving style.
Why choose the RTS Performance Clutch Kit
- High clamp load design transmits up to 60 percent more torque than standard while maintaining OE pedal effort.
- Twin Friction drive plate with aramid friction on the flywheel side and segmented pressure plate face for stronger bite and smooth engagement.
- Aramid friction material offers up to 50 percent less wear than conventional linings and reduces fade at high temperature.
- Enhanced heat dissipation thanks to spheroidal casting micro-structure and ER2 technology, helping the clutch run cooler for longer.
- Proven fast road and track capability with excellent drivability for everyday use.
Variants, part numbers and torque capacity
- RTSHD-0015 - HD Organic clutch kit - up to 350 lbs/ft - smooth engagement and daily-drive friendly performance.
