The Centerforce TRIAD DS (Drive System) is a complete extreme-duty triple disc clutch and flywheel kit engineered for high-performance and high-horsepower applications demanding exceptional torque holding capacity. Built on Centerforce's patented multi-disc technology, the TRIAD DS delivers a compact, lightweight system purpose-built for quick-revving, high-output vehicles that have outgrown the limits of a conventional single-disc clutch.
At the core of every TRIAD DS kit is a billet pressure plate featuring Centerforce's patented centrifugal weight system, which proportionally increases clamping force as engine RPM rises—delivering superior clamp load exactly when and where it's needed most. A second patented innovation, the ball bearing actuated pressure plate, returns surprisingly light and manageable pedal effort despite the system's extreme holding capability—a rare combination in the high-performance clutch market.
The disc pack is equipped with high-performance friction material for increased holding capacity and durability under repeated high-load cycling. Depending on the specific application, disc hub construction may be sprung or solid. Each kit ships as a complete, match-balanced assembly including the pressure plate, disc pack, floaters, lightened billet steel flywheel, throw-out bearing, pilot bearing, and all required hardware. Premium ARP fasteners are included for a secure, reliable installation right out of the box. Every component is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA.
Key Features:
- Patented triple disc design delivers extreme torque holding capacity for modified street, street/strip, and high-horsepower builds
- Patented centrifugal weight system on the billet pressure plate provides RPM-proportional clamping force for superior clamp load over stock
- Patented ball bearing actuated pressure plate design delivers lighter, more manageable pedal feel despite extreme holding capacity
- High-performance friction material on all discs for grip, durability, and heat resistance under repeated high-load cycling
- Available with sprung or solid hub disc pack depending on application—some gear noise is normal and expected on solid hub variants
- Lightened billet steel flywheel reduces rotational inertia for faster RPM response and quicker acceleration
- Complete match-balanced kit ships assembly-ready for smooth, vibration-free operation
- Includes premium ARP fasteners for secure, reliable installation
- Designed, machined, and assembled in the USA
Application Notes:
The TRIAD DS product line is engineered for modified street vehicles, street/strip builds, and extreme high-horsepower applications requiring maximum torque holding capacity without sacrificing daily driveability. Due to the race-inspired design of this system, some floater disc noise during normal operation is characteristic of this platform and is not a defect. See individual product listings for application-specific torque capacity ratings, disc specifications, and fitment details.
