DKM Performance Clutch Kits

The more power- and torque-gaining modifications you make, the harder it is for the clutch to ensure proper bite and hold. DKM clutches are designed to provide smooth power delivery to the wheels without slipping when engaged. DKM is a German brand specialized in making heavy-duty CNC machined transmission parts for European vehicles. Its product line includes a variety of high-strength clutches for performance applications ranging from spirited street driving all the way up to high-power racing.

The company's MA Series clutch kit is engineered for performance-oriented daily/street use on cars that received mild modifications. It includes a pressure plate, a larger than stock sprung organic disc (depending on the application), a cast iron flywheel, an alignment tool, and bearings. It is an OE-like replacement ensuring a stock-like pedal feel. Those who drive more aggressively or go to track days need to upgrade to the MB kit. The sprung disc's friction material is a blend of woven brass and organics with steel backings, while the flywheel is made out of billet steel. This kit allows for smooth engagement and a substantial increase in torque capacity (up to 80 percent) while offering a longer service life.

The DKM MS twin disc clutch kit doubles the contact area and uses a billet steel flywheel. Intended for powerful street cars, it is a step up in torque capacity that can provide 100 to 200 percent more grip and hold without compromising the lifespan. The MR Series by DKM is the heaviest-duty clutch built to be used in race cars with high horsepower and torque outputs. Utilizing a stiff billet pressure plate, two cerametallic discs, and a chromoly steel flywheel, it can hold 650 pound-feet.
