The Performance Clutches Stage 3 Sport Clutch Kit (DMF Compatible) for the E3x 3 Series is designed for high-output and heavily modified vehicles where increased torque capacity, strong engagement, and reliable performance under load are essential. By retaining the factory Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF), this kit provides a significant upgrade in clutch performance while maintaining the refinement and reduced drivetrain noise associated with the original flywheel.
The Stage 3 Sport clutch is designed to handle the increased torque produced by high-boost, big-turbo, and hybrid turbo setups, providing strong holding power and excellent resistance to clutch slip during hard acceleration. Its 6-paddle friction disc delivers faster engagement and increased bite, giving a more direct connection between the engine and drivetrain.
An uprated high-clamp pressure plate provides increased clamping force to keep power securely transferred under high load. Despite its performance-focused design, the clutch retains a controllable pedal feel, making it suitable for fast road cars that also see regular track use.
The friction materials are designed to withstand high temperatures, repeated hard shifts, and sustained load without losing performance. Combined with precision manufacturing and balancing, the Stage 3 Sport provides the consistency and durability required for demanding performance applications.
