Key Features:
Built to handle increased power and torque, this clutch kit incorporates advanced materials and design elements to ensure longevity and performance:
- Segmented ceramic clutch disc facings for superior heat resistance and friction
- Performance pressure plate engineered for consistent clamping force and durability
- High torque sprung disc to reduce drivetrain shock and improve engagement smoothness
- Lightweight flywheel included to enhance throttle response and reduce rotational mass
- Complete bearing set and alignment tool for precise installation
- Torque capacity rated up to 300 ft-lbs at the wheels, supporting significant power upgrades
- Designed for street and strip use, balancing aggressive performance with daily drivability
- Extended service life compared to stock clutch components
Construction & Design:
The Competition Clutch Stage 3 kit features a segmented ceramic friction material that excels in heat dissipation and wear resistance, making it ideal for high-performance applications. The ceramic facings provide consistent friction levels even under extreme temperatures, reducing the risk of clutch fade during aggressive driving or racing conditions.
The performance pressure plate is precision-engineered to maintain optimal clamping force, ensuring reliable power transfer and minimizing slippage. The inclusion of a lightweight flywheel reduces rotational inertia, allowing the engine to rev more freely and improving throttle response. All components are manufactured to strict quality standards to guarantee fitment and durability.
Performance & Sound
This Stage 3 clutch kit delivers quick yet smooth engagement, providing a more direct connection between the engine and drivetrain without harshness or chatter. The ceramic disc material contributes to a firm pedal feel and enhanced torque capacity, enabling drivers to confidently handle increased power levels. While the clutch engagement is more aggressive than stock, it remains manageable for street use, making it suitable for both daily driving and performance scenarios.
Installation & Fitment:
The Competition Clutch Stage 3 kit is a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly on 2005–2010 Scion tC and 2008–2015 Scion xB2 models with the 2AZ-FE engine. Installation requires standard clutch replacement procedures and should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper alignment and torque specifications. The kit includes all necessary bearings and an alignment tool to facilitate a smooth installation process without the need for additional parts or modifications.
What's Included:
- Segmented ceramic clutch disc with high torque sprung hub
- Performance pressure plate
- Lightweight flywheel
- All applicable release and pilot bearings
- Clutch alignment tool
Ideal For:
This clutch kit is ideal for Scion tC and xB2 owners who have upgraded their engines or are planning to increase power output beyond stock levels. It suits enthusiasts who participate in occasional drag racing, autocross, or spirited street driving and require a clutch that can handle higher torque loads without sacrificing smooth engagement or reliability. It is also a solid choice for those seeking a durable, performance-oriented clutch upgrade for their daily-driven Scion.
