Action Clutch Clutch Kit

Action Clutch Clutch Kits: Engineered from Street to Race

Action Clutch has been at the forefront of performance drivetrain technology since its founding in Los Angeles in 1962. What began as a local clutch rebuild operation evolved into a motorsports-focused manufacturer when, in the early 1990s, the brand pivoted toward hand-assembled performance clutch kits tailored specifically for racers and enthusiasts. Today, their clutch kits represent one of the most well-respected lineups in the performance community — trusted at events like the Global Time Attack Challenge and by professional tuners worldwide.

A Tiered System Built for Every Driver

What makes Action Clutch's clutch kit lineup stand out is how deliberately it is structured around real-world driving needs. The staged system spans from everyday street performance all the way to full race applications, so drivers don't have to over-buy or under-spec their setup.

• Stage 1 (1OS): Uses a reinforced steel-backed copper-Kevlar organic friction disc paired with a single diaphragm heavy-duty pressure plate. Designed to deliver an OEM-like pedal feel while handling stock-to-bolt-on power levels — ideal for drivers who want reliability without sacrificing driveability.
• Stage 2 (1SC): Steps up torque capacity for spirited street driving and occasional track days, maintaining a streetable engagement character.
• Stage 3 (1MS): Incorporates a high-performance MIBA sprung ceramic disc in either a 4-pad or 6-pad configuration for more aggressive engagement at higher power levels, suitable for drag racing, drifting, and road course use.
• Stage 4–6 and Ironman Kits: Purpose-built for serious competition, the Ironman sprung and unsprung kits are engineered for heavy street performance alongside track disciplines including drifting, drag racing, and road course racing. Action Clutch has developed kits capable of handling 1,000+ horsepower drag and drift cars.
• Super Copper Kit: A unique offering featuring the highest copper content available in any organic clutch on the market, delivering superior heat tolerance and consistent grip without sacrificing smooth street drivability.

What Sets Action Clutch Kits Apart

Each clutch kit ships complete — including the clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout/release bearing, pilot bearing or bushing (where applicable), and an alignment tool, so there are no surprises during installation. All sprung kits feature Action Clutch's patented fully enclosed spring retainer system, which prevents springs from being ejected under high-stress conditions — a failure mode that can cause catastrophic damage to the transmission or engine. Every kit is hand-assembled and reviewed by engineers with over 50 years of combined experience before leaving the facility. Additionally, all Action Clutch kits meet SFI standards, certifying their safety for racing purposes.

Coverage spans a broad range of import and domestic platforms — including popular applications for Honda, Acura, Subaru, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Ford, and Jeep — making it straightforward to find the right kit regardless of your build.

For enthusiasts who demand performance that scales with their build, Action Clutch clutch kits offer a rare combination of engineering depth, hand-crafted quality, and a tiered selection designed to eliminate guesswork.
