SACHS Performance Clutch Kit

SACHS is one of the leading engineering companies providing racing components for the World Rally Championship, World Touring Car Championship, DTM, American Le Mans Series, and Formula 1 teams. Sachs Race Engineering has applied their racing experience to develop affordable products that are now obtainable by street and track enthusiasts.

From the makers of OE perfect fitment clutches, Sachs offers Performance Clutches. The fundamental advantage of Sachs Performance Clutches compared with OE clutches results in a higher life span and in a superior thermal resistance. .


Sachs Performance Clutches deliver more transmittable torque and more stability, longer life and superior thermal resistance. Advantages, that are of great value not only to highly tuned vehicles but also in motorsports (Rally Group N racing, endurance races, drifting, 1/4mile racing and so on).

The complete clutch kit includes the following components:

• Pressure Plate
• Disc (Organic material with and without torsion springs or Sintered Metal with and without torsion springs)
• Throwout bearing

1, Reinforced pressure plate
Changes to OE performance clutch:
* higher convertible torque
* higher clamp force
* reduced release travel

Operational areas:
* for tuning, street application, chip-tuning (engine)
* race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, autocross)
* hill climbing (e.g. group N)
* rally (e.g. group N)
* drift racing

2/a, Clutch disc with torsion springs and organic friction material
Changes to OE performance clutch:
* the torque damper has a higher stop position: maximum capacity of the torsion damper unit before stop position of locating rivets.
* higher convertible torque
* start performance similar to OE
* Clutch discs with torsion springs function as vibration damper between engine and gearbox

Operational areas:
* for tuning, street application, chip-tuning (engine)
* race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, autocross)
* hill climbing (e.g. group N)
* rally (e.g. group N)
* slalom
* drift racing


2/b, Clutch disc without torsion springs and organic friction material
Changes to OE performance clutch:
* higher convertible torque
* higher burst number of revolutions
* start performance similar OE

Operational areas:
* tuning field of two mass flywheels
* race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, autocross)
* hill climbing (e.g. group N)
* slalom
* rally
* drift racing

2/c, Clutch disc with torsion springs and sintered metal plates
Changes to OE performance clutch:
* the torque damper has a higher stop position: maximum capacity of the torsion damper unit before stop position of locating rivets.
* higher thermal capacity compared to organic friction material
* higher convertible torque compared to organic friction material
* Clutch discs with torsion springs function as vibration damper between engine and gearbox
* very dirt resistant
* aggressive start performance

Operational areas:
* race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, autocross)
* hill climbing (e.g. group N)
* slalom
* rally
* drift racing

2/d, Clutch disc with sintered metal plates and without torsion springs
Changes to OE performance clutch:
* higher thermal capacity compared to organic friction material
* higher convertible torque compared to organic friction material
* very dirt resistant
* aggressive start performance

Operational areas:
* race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, autocross)
* hill climbing (e.g. group N)
* slalom
* rally
* drift racing
