FAQ

A ceramic clutch is intended for upgraded turbo, naturally aspirated or nitrous vehicles. It has a stronger structure than the original clutch to transmit higher engine torque and power to the transmission system without slipping.

A ceramic clutch is not intended to increase clutch life. Instead, it can reduce the service life of the clutch kit due to harsher engagement and greater wear tendency. For this reason, ceramic clutches are not recommended for stock vehicles.

To choose the most suitable clutch for your car, check the Ceramic Power product lines.

It depends on the pressure plate load. A 980 lb pressure plate or higher will make the clutch pedal heavier than stock. Ceramic Power offers the 980 lb Light model, which keeps pedal feel close to stock and is intended for street cars up to 350 hp.

Ceramic clutches may judder slightly because they do not have axial damping like original organic lining discs.

The main factor affecting clutch life is how it is used. Ceramic Power clutches are designed for maximum service life, but durability can be reduced by resting your foot on the clutch, using larger or grippier tires, heavy traffic use, holding the car on the clutch at lights or hills, launching while burning the clutch, using a setup below the car power level, or using a street clutch on track.

- Flywheel not resurfaced before installation.
- Flywheel resurfaced incorrectly, outside original height.
- Oil or grease contamination in the friction area.
- Clutch below the car power level.
- Wrong driving use, such as a street clutch on track.
- Hydraulic actuator return issue.
- Clutch adjusted without free clearance between bearing and diaphragm spring.
- Natural clutch wear.

Ceramic clutches may judder slightly because they do not have axial damping like original organic lining discs. Excessive judder can be caused by:
- Poor flywheel surface or flywheel not resurfaced.
- Oil or grease contamination in the friction area.
- Defective clutch cable binding.
- Misalignment between engine and gearbox.
- Play in the input shaft splines.
- Damaged or missing pilot bearing/bushing.
- Damaged internal gearbox bearings.
- Engine or gearbox mount issues.
- Damaged pressure plate return spring.
- Loose pressure plate bolts.

- Actuation system in poor condition: fork, fork bushing, cable, pedal or release bearing.
- Hydraulic actuator or cylinder in poor condition, air in the system or wrong fluid.
- Pilot bearing or bushing binding.
- Warped or dented disc caused by forced gearbox installation.
- Disc splines stuck on the input shaft.
- Worn transmission parts such as gears, synchronizer or bearings.
- Gearbox installed incorrectly or misaligned.
- Flywheel resurfaced incorrectly, outside original height.
- Flywheel bolt touching the clutch disc.
- Loose bolts fastening the flywheel to the crankshaft.

1. Flywheel surface. Always resurface it before installing a ceramic clutch.
2. Guide bearing or input shaft pilot bushings.
3. Check whether the input shaft splines are worn.
4. Condition of engine and gearbox oil seals.
5. Clutch bearing, hydraulic actuator and cylinder.
6. Fork, fork bushing and clutch cable.
7. Bearing guide tube.
8. Clutch pedal.

During installation:
1. Remove the protective oil from the pressure plate surface.
2. Fasten the pressure plate by tightening bolts in a cross pattern.
3. Check alignment between engine and gearbox to avoid damaging the disc center.
4. Correctly adjust the pedal and fork.
