Our Short Shift (or SS) series of billet aluminum clutch covers were designed to take a typical single disc clutch kit to that next level of performance. From the get go our engineers sat down to develop a clutch kit that was street friendly, allowed for faster shifts, had a lighter rotating mass, and the consistent pedal feel you expect from a clutch on the track. To accomplish this we took everything we've learned from decades of perfecting our 725 Series Twin Disc clutch kits and designed it around the fitment of an OE style clutch cover. By utilizing the diaphragm that we equip all of our 725 Twin Disc clutch kits with, we are able to significantly reduce the amount of pedal throw it takes to disengage the clutch. When using the 725 Series diaphragm and our specially formulated Hi-Leverage pivot point modifications found in all of our clutch kits, we are also able to increase the clamp load of the clutch as well compared to the OE setup, while also maintaining a very manageable pedal feel.
With the implementation of a billet aluminum cover, the complete clutch assembly becomes much more rigid then the factory OE stamped steel cover, inherently there is less flex every time you step on the clutch pedal. With the billet cover, 725 Series diaphragm, and our other engineering tricks, we've created something we feel is perfect for those enthusiasts that know it’s the small things that truly make a build enjoyable and want to eke out every last bit of performance they canr. The Short Shift series of clutch kits are perfect for the daily driven street car as well as a dedicated race car that doesn't make the power to necessitate a twin disc.
Features of Short Shift Billet Clutch Kits:
-
Shorter, faster, more precise shifts
-
10% lighter then OE stamped steel cover
-
Billet aluminum cover means there is less flex then OE stamped steel cover which means faster engagement and disengagement
-
Fits stock single disc flywheel (or any aftermarket single disc flywheel designed for OE style clutch kits)
-
Heavier diaphragm allows more clamping force to be obtained
-
Modified pivot point on steel casting makes pedal feel minimally heavier then a stock clutch.
-
Works with factory hydraulics (For best results we recommend our internal hydraulic release bearing and master cylinder upgrades)
-
Comes with new throw out bearing specifically designed to take advantage of the short throw of the clutch
-
Available in several different disc material configurations for street or track use
Currently we have developed Short Shift Series kits for the B series 5-Speed and the K20/K24 engine 6-Speed flywheel. Since these clutch kits are designed to work with OE flywheels, the flywheel is sold separately.
