Nissan Silvia S15 – Xtreme Heavy Duty Cushioned Ceramic Clutch Kit (87087050)

Description

Manufacturer Part Number: KNI24540-1C

The stage two clutch uses an upgraded pressure plate combined with a ceramic friction disc in cushioned configurations.

The stage two clutch range is designed for road and track going vehicles that require a higher torque capacity and temperature tolerance, and faster engagement. Clutch engagement is more aggressive than stage 1, so it is not recommended for daily driven vehicles.

These kits feature a high-quality cover with increased clamping force compared with standard, between 20-40% depending on the demands of the individual vehicle. They use a ceramic friction disc with multiple segments to provide a similar working temperature range as ‘1B’ discs but with slightly smoother engagement.

This kit is used more rarely, but it is available for situations such as low-speed trial, track where the operator encounters temperatures that are too high for organic and consequently need a higher temperature clutch but with better modulation than ‘1B’. Usually, customers only purchase this option if they have previously used a ‘1A’ and found it insufficient due to the operator’s driving style or the particular demands of the vehicle.
