Ultimate
performance for
your
BMW
For manual
transmission cars only. UUC's line of performance clutches is
available for use with any UUC Stage 1 or Stage 2 flywheel, most
original
equipment BMW flywheels, and most aftermarket flywheels from other
manufacturers. Applications are available for every type of use and
motorsport.
|
|
UUC's
clutch kits are made with increased clamping force from the pressure
plate, and four specific types of clutch friction materials and
configurations for various types of usage; Performance Organic,
Segmented Kevlar, CeraMetallic, and Multi-Puck Ceramic.
|
|
|
Uprated
pressure features include over-built drive straps, increased clamp load
usually twice as strong as OE, and solid bolts instead of OE rivets.
All pressure plates use genuine Sachs or LUK cover stampings for
perfect fit and purpose-built internal components.
|
|
|
All
clutches are sold as complete kits consisting of pressure plate
assembly, friction disk, OEM release bearing, and alignment tool.
|
|
|
Performance
Organic: ideal for street use and track use. The enhanced
2400psi pressure plate and uprated clutch disk friction material make
it ideal for daily-driven cars with power enhancements beyond 50% more
than original power level. This clutch's engagement characteristics and
pedal effort are virtually the same as a BMW OEM clutch, very smooth
and easy to modulate.
|
|
|
Segmented
Kevlar: ideal for street use and road course track use. The
enhanced 2400psi pressure plate and uprated clutch disk friction
material make it ideal for daily-driven cars with power enhancements
beyond 100% more than original power level. This clutch's engagement
characteristics and pedal effort are virtually the same as a BMW OEM
clutch, very smooth and easy to modulate. Highly recommended for
street-driven turbo applications and cars fitted with SMG transmission.
|
|
|
CeraMetallic:
optimized for extreme high-powered cars that are street-driven yet
still see some drag-racing. Engagement is relatively smooth for this
type of extreme-capacity clutch. Operation will differ in that a slight
judder may be apparent in lower gears if slipped excessively, such as
stop-and-go traffic. There are many special features of this clutch
that contribute to the smoothness including number and arrangement of
friction pads, friction pad material, marcelled and segmented backing
disk, and sprung-hub center (solid flywheel version only). The enhanced
2400psi pressure plate and ceramic/metallic disk lining is capable of
handling power loads approximately double what the car originally
produced.
|
|
|
Multi-Puck
Ceramic: optimized for frequent or dedicated drag-racing,
high-powered modified cars, and can still be used for regular street
driving. Note that slow clutch engagement-style street driving may
result in "abrupt" engagement and minor chatter in the lower gears. The
enhanced 2400psi pressure plate and ceramic/metallic disk lining is
capable of handling power loads approximately double what the car
originally produced.

Frequently Asked
Questions
A: Different
materials have different characteristics, some will drive like a
standard
clutch, and others will behave differently. See specific descriptions
for
characteristics.
A: For
applications originally fitted with SAC, we deliberately convert these
to a
non-SAC, conventional-style pressure plate. This improves pedal
modulation and
feedback, and results in longer service life. Driver operation is
completely
unchanged.
A: Absolutely!
If you have engine modifications or unique usage requirements, then the
appropriate performance clutch will work better than the original part.
A: No. All
components
are completely “bolt-in” with no irreversible changes made to the car.
