Ford Fiesta Mk5 1.6 16V Clutch plate (100 hp Petrol FYJA)

A reinforced clutch cover has fundamental advantages against Torsion dampered clutch disc with sintered metal plates Torsion-sprung, sintered disk an OE clutch cover, such as a higher transmittable torque Performance clutch disc differences to OE: the torque damper and higher resistance against thrust. It also allows for has a higher stop position (maximum capacity of the torsion damper unit before stop position of locating rivets), higher faster and sportier gearshifts. That makes it extremely thermal capacity compared to organic friction material, useful for street tuning, endurance races, hill climbing (group N) and for vehicles that are often driven with their higher transmittable torque compared to organic friction material, clutch discs with torsion springs function as maximum gross vehicle weight (construction-site vehicles, ambulances, courier services such as UPS, TNT; DHL, etc.). vibration damper between engine and gearbox, very dirt Both rigid and torsion damper clutch discs are available. resistant, aggressive start performance, effortless exchange Clutch discs with torsion springs function as a vibration with OE clutches. damper between engine and gearbox. Typical applications include: race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, autocross), hill climbing (e.g. group N), rally, Due to reinforced clutch components the pedal force can increase and the modulation range can be reduced. Additional slalom, drift racing, 1/4 mile-race clutch and gear noises can appear.
