Increased clamp loads give the necessary capacity to handle modified engines. This is the ideal clutch for street and light horsepower track use. Drivability is similar to the stock clutch. Pedal efforts will be slightly higher because of the higher clamp loads. All of our Stage 1 clutch discs have spring center dampers to reduce drivetrain shock and provide smooth clutch engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClutch Cover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese clutch covers are designed to achieve a clamping load that is approx. 40% higher than the genuine part allowing a higher torque transmitting capacity. Ductile material is used for all pressure plates and, high burst strength can be achieved in all temperature ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUltra-Fiber Organic Disc\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis advanced facing material provides the high heat resistance essential for motorsports. It was developed by reviewing both the copper wire ratio and the composition of the high strength fiber. The Ultra Fiber Disc maintains the superior half-engagement feelingspecific to the Organic material. With improved high heat resistance, it provides the functionality essential for street performance and mild racing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"88\" data-end=\"135\"\u003eTrack-Day Evaluation - EXEDY Stage 1 Clutch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"137\" data-end=\"679\"\u003eEXEDY Stage 1 clutches are best described as \u003cstrong data-start=\"182\" data-end=\"194\"\u003eOEM-plus\u003c\/strong\u003e performance units. On track, they deliver consistent engagement, predictable pedal feel, and smooth modulation lap after lap. Heat tolerance is noticeably improved over stock, making them well-suited for HPDE sessions, autocross, and spirited lapping without the grabby behavior or harsh engagement common in more aggressive clutches. While they handle moderate performance upgrades well, they are not intended for repeated clutch-dump launches or prolonged high-heat race conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"681\" data-end=\"684\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"686\" data-end=\"718\"\u003eDriver Usage Recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"720\" data-end=\"921\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"720\" data-end=\"743\"\u003eStreet Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"743\" data-end=\"746\"\u003eIdeal for daily-driven performance cars with bolt-on mods.
