I ve never had a ceramic clutch before or even driven a car with ceramic clutch so i really dont know what i m dealing with.
Ceramic clutch vs kevlar clutch.
Between the variations in design the jargon and the lack of specifications things can be confusing.
Kevlar clutch discs have two key benefits.
Pega fxss kevlar is one of the best made kevlar friction material in the world.
They re incredibly durable and they always engage the flywheel smoothly.
Used for racing application and regular drive.
The downside was chatter which wasn t all that bad after getting.
Ceramic clutch plates are ironically made with a combination of copper iron bronze and silicon and graphite.
Does it give any sort of gradual friction or is it just chatter chatter chatter grab.
Just trying not to waste a couple of days in doing the swap over and then the swap back if it becomes a pig.
They last 2 3 times longer than clutch discs made of organic materials.
Fxss kevlar can be used with bfxx ceramic in the same clutch this will give a unique characteristic to the clutch as it will have ceramic and kevlar.
As with any clutch it s all in how you drive.
We ve used kevlar clutch discs in cars with up to 600 lb ft of torque that were regularly drag raced and life expectancy is good.
Keeping in mind also that a ceramic clutch is quite savage on both its meeting components the flywheel pressure plate.
It s hard to buy a replacement clutch at least if you want to understand what you re buying.
A kevlar disk is a good choice for a heavily tracked or road raced cars especially with forced induction.
And in the difference between organic disc vs ceramic disc it s the biggest factor for most drivers.
It can resist heat up to 390c.
Clutch friction materials explained organic kevlar ceramic etc.
Sintered iron clutch disks are strictly for endurance racing.
Carbon ceramic should be left to high power cars that see lots of drag racing or are dedicated track drag cars.
Ceramic clutches will wear much faster if you ride the clutch and can experience some shudder or chatter on engagement.
