AMS Automotive is a world class Clutch System provider exclusively serving the automotive aftermarket. When it comes to performance, reliability and quality, AMS Automotive sets the standard by offering best in class components tested by their engineers and dedicated ASE-certified product and technical staff who address known OE-manufacturer flaws, enabling them to provide highly reliable system solutions. AMS Automotive both understands and owns that critical eighteen inches of space that sits between the end of the engine crankshaft and the transmission input shaft.
OE PLUS Features & Benefits:
- Engineered to meet or exceed OE specifications
- All components are engineered to function as a precisely matched system
- Each kit includes an all-new pressure plate, clutch disc, and any applicable pilot bearings/bushings
- Pressure plate assemblies are functionally tested for lift-off, balance, clamp load, release load, and finger height
- Disc assemblies are functionally tested for lateral run-out, compressed thickness, torsion durability, and spring rate
- Release bearings meet exact OEM fit, form, and function specifications to ensure the ultimate in load carrying capability and operational characteristics
- U.S. manufactured alignment tools (where included) and detailed application-specific technical bulletins simplify the installation process
Why Self-Adjusting Clutches Are A Better Value:
Overtime, the material on the friction disc wears, causing the pressure plate to move closer to the flywheel. Eventually without adjustment, there will be permanent contact to the clutch, causing the clutch to fail.Non-self Adjusting Clutches must be routinely adjusted manually to the proper height to keep space between the flywheel & pressure plate when the pedal is pressed. Self-Adjusting Clutches automatically adjust as the friction material wears, keeping the proper spacing and pressure through out the life of the clutch and eliminating excessive load on the release bearing. While Self-Adjusting Clutches are typically more expensive up front, they can save you money over the life of your clutch.
Organic vs. Kevlar vs. Ceramic Friction Disc - What Is The Difference? The Friction Disc is a vital part of any clutch. It connects the pressure plate and flywheel, and is responsible for transferring engine power to the rest of the vehicle. Clutch Kits come with several different types of friction discs, and it is important to understand the pros and cons of each material:

Tips & Tools For The Job - Wear a Dust Mask to protect against hazardous clutch dust. You can also spray the clutch with water prior to removal to reduce the amount of airborne dust during disassembly.
- Use a Flywheel Turner to hold the flywheel in place while removing and reinstalling the pressure plate bolts.
- Apply Blue Threadlocker to flywheel bolts prior to installation to prevent backing out due to the high vibrations flywheels are subject to.
- Use the provided lubricant to lightly lubricate the splines of the input shaft. Over lubricating the input shaft risks lubricant transfer to the clutch friction disc and can cause clutch slippage.
- Be sure to install the new clutch friction disc in the correct direction. The disc will have a "Flywheel Side" label on one side.
