AMS Clutch Kit

Clutchplace offers high-performance industry-exclusive upgrades for import and domestic applications. Designed for automotive enthusiasts who want increased durability and performance at a reasonable price, each clutch kit comes in a platform to match the performance enhancement made to the vehicle.

Because some vehicles are used in situations where O.E. specs just don’t measure up, we’ve engineered heavy-duty and high-performance Series Upgrade (SR) New Clutch Kits that feature a unique combination of application-specific torque capacity, coefficient of friction, and clamp load characteristics.

Each SR Upgrade relies on time-tested proven technology to provide longer life and optimum performance, while also taking into account the fact that each component must work in conjunction with the other driveline components. It’s a delicate balancing act. If clamp load and torque capacity ratings are increased too much, component failure will likely occur in other areas such as the mechanical or hydraulic linkage. If these ratings are increased too little, the components will simply fail when subjected to the added operating demands.

In order to ensure optimum performance and lasting durability with every clutch installation, it’s important to use only quality clutch components that are engineered to function as a precision-matched system with the other driveline components. That’s why, where applicable, every AMS clutch kit contains an all-new pressure plate assembly, disc assembly, release bearing, pilot bearing/bushing and alignment tool, designed for specific vehicle applications and driving styles.

Because few applications are identical in terms of driveline requirements, we don’t rely on low-grade substitutes in vehicles that demand the use of specific technological designs. Nor do we rely on low quality components produced in so-called 'emerging markets'. These products simply can’t match our criterion of providing only those clutches which have been engineered and manufactured to the O.E. tolerance and performance specifications of major automobile manufacturers throughout the world.

As a final measure of quality, each clutch kit component must pass stringent performance assurance tests. Please refer to the information listed under the Automotive Light/Medium Duty Components section for more details regarding individual components contained in AMS kits.

By design, clutches are meant to wear out, but they shouldn’t fail due to poor workmanship, engineering, or materials. The fact is that too many clutch do fail prematurely, because they’re well-disguised replacements that are built using inferior raw materials, unskilled labor, and third-world technology.

AMS clutch kits are different. We believe high quality has no substitute and we never take short cuts that might compromise our commitment to offering the highest quality products available. That’s why every AMS clutch kit is backed by the industry’s most extensive and reliable warranty against defects in workmanship and materials. All kits are warranted for a limited period of 12-months or 12,000 miles whichever occurs first, except SR Upgrades, which are warranted for a limited period of 3-months or 3,000 miles. All warranty claims must be submitted and shipped to the distributor from which the product was purchased.
