When you’re passionate about driving, settling for stock just isn’t an option. At Performance Clutches, we believe a true driving experience begins beneath the pedal – and that’s why performance clutch and flywheel kits are becoming essential upgrades for serious drivers everywhere.
Performance Flywheel: Where Speed Meets Precision
A Performance Flywheel is far more than just a rotating mass; it’s the key to better throttle response and crisper gear changes. Performance flywheels are installed in most cases to increase horsepower and torque. Unlike your normal flywheels, the performance versions are lightweight and incredibly tough with the properties of the flywheel often made of forged steel or billet, which decreases the inertia, allowing your engine to rev higher.
At Performance Clutches, our performance options deliver improved engine responsiveness, smoother launches, and noticeably quicker shifts. Say goodbye to sluggish throttle response and hello to instantaneous engagement.
High Performance Flywheel: Engineered for Enthusiastic Drivers
When we talk about a High Performance Flywheel, we refer to one built for endurance under stress, heat-resistant, dynamically balanced, and able to work under shadowy racing and spirited street conditions alike.
By pairing such flywheels with robust clutch discs, clutch life increases while performance surges. Our customers often report more immediate throttle response and sharper gear feel after installing them, whether on the track or winding roads.
Aftermarket Flywheel: A Smart Upgrade for Every Build
Swapping your factory flywheel for an Aftermarket Flywheel is arguably one of the best bang-for-your-buck upgrades in drivetrain tuning. Better balance, lighter weight, greater thermal stability these translate into tangible performance gains.
Performance Clutches offers a range of aftermarket flywheels carefully engineered to match clutch kits and vehicle models. They’re designed to hold up to higher revs and more aggressive driving, ensuring reliable shifts with every press of the pedal.
Racing Flywheels: Built for Track Domination
For those pushing their machines to the limits, Racing Flywheels are the go-to upgrade. These are handcrafted, cut to exact tolerances, and tested for resilience at higher RPMs. A racing flywheel paired with an aggressive clutch kit means reduced rotational mass for lightning-fast throttle response.
Drivers who take their car to track days or timed runs benefit from these kits: quicker spin-ups, reduced turbo lag, and far more immediate gear transitions. When seconds matter, every component counts.
Audi S1 Flywheel: Tailored Excellence for Hot Hatch Fans
Owners of the Audi S1 will find our Audi S1 Flywheel offers a perfect match to PowerClutch’s high‑strength upgrade kits. Designed specifically for this model, it improves throttle response without compromising drivability, a rare combination in hot hatch tuning.
Even with limited modifications, swapping to this flywheel sharpens gear changes and gives the engine a livelier character, ideal for road and occasional track usage.
Stage 2 Clutch and Flywheel: A Balanced Upgrade for Street and Track
The Stage 2 Clutch and Flywheel setup is the sweet spot for drivers who demand more power without sacrificing daily usability. Featuring a ceramic disc and a beefier pressure plate, this combo offers significantly higher clamp load and durability.
Its increased holding capacity means no slipping even under boost, while still retaining smooth engagement for everyday driving. It’s a popular choice among enthusiasts seeking pace and practicality combined.
Clutch Kit with Flywheel: Seamless Integration from the Start
The best performance upgrades come as complete packages; that’s why our Clutch Kit with Flywheel bundles are so well-regarded. Done once, done right; every internal surface is matched, balanced, and tested to operate in harmony.
Installation is simpler too, a single matched unit instead of sourcing parts separately. At Performance Clutches, each kit is designed to meet factory-level fitment standards, with performance to spare.
Performance Clutch and Flywheel Kits: The Ultimate Upgrade
So why are Performance Clutch and Flywheel Kits essential for every serious driver? Because they transform your driving experience at a fundamental level:
- Power transfer: More effective delivery of torque to the drivetrain.
- Durability: Materials like ceramic discs and forged steel pressure plates are built to last in high-heat conditions.
- Engagement feel: Quick, sharp, and consistent – ideal for spirited shifts.
- Reduced inertia: Lightweight flywheels let your engine react faster.
In essence, these kits don’t just add more grip; they refine responses, durability, and control. The end result is precision and pace without compromise.
The Performance Clutches Advantage
At Performance Clutches, we combine competitive DNA with practical reliability. Our Performance Flywheels are made from billet or chromoly steel, with ring gear teeth cast integrally to avoid separation issues typical of aluminium designs.
Our Stage 2 clutch kits offer a 60–120 % clamp load increase with ceramic friction discs, perfect for street or occasional track use. For race applications, they offer Stage 3 kits with reinforced hubs and paddle discs for serious holding power.
Backed by a 12-month guarantee and built to withstand up to 12,000 RPM, each kit is engineered for performance and longevity, with minimal compromise to daily comfort.
Choosing Wisely: What’s Right for You
Here’s how to choose:
- For everyday use with occasional performance driving, go for a Stage 2 clutch and flywheel kit.
- If you demand more power and track capability, upgrade to Stage 3 or custom build.
- Check vehicle compatibility carefully. Performance Clutches offers dedicated fitment kits, including Audi S1 Flywheel sets for relevant models.
- Expect a stiffer pedal feel, especially with ceramic setups, but enjoy sharper engagement in return.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Always clean or replace flywheel surfaces when fitting a new clutch.
- Use proper alignment and torque settings; imperfect installation can lead to chatter or premature wear.
- Lightweight flywheels may introduce idle vibration; drive carefully at first until break‑in is complete.
- Monitor for wear signs and listen for chatter; some drivers report that more aggressive setups require adaptation.
Final Thoughts
Every serious driver worth their salt eventually realises that true performance lies beneath the bonnet, and nowhere is that more vital than in the clutch and flywheel. Upgrading both as a matched unit significantly boosts power handling, engagement, and reliability.
At Performance Clutches, our high-grade performance clutch and flywheel kits, supported by unmatched engineering and quality assurance, make us the go-to choice for tuners and enthusiasts who won’t compromise. Whether you’re after better throttle response, stronger torque capacity, or sharper control, we’re here to upgrade your driving.
