Despite being of supporting approximately 700ps, the main concept for the Twin Plate LA Clutch remains the same. Using “MG Composite Discs” to reduce judder and achieve driving feel which is comparable to the stock clutch. Disc dampers are used to reduce gear noise and protect the transmission from shock torque. The LA Twin also has a “Pivot Ring” within the pressure plate to offer partial engagement like no other twin plate clutch.

(1) Lightweight Cover and Redesigned Diaphragm Spring

It is normally the case that with high capacity clutches comes heavy pedal feel. HKS have insisted on a diaphragm spring design and used its properties to achieve a pedal which is easy to use on the street but also has a positive feel for accurate control even on the circuit. Cover is made from high strength forged aluminium.

(2) 8.5 Inch “MG Composite Disc” with Damper

A newly designed 8.5inch disc is used to support high torque levels. Adding a damper reduces gear noise and protects the power train from sudden shocks and damage. A stable frictional coefficient makes the clutch easier to use with reduce judder.

(3) Accurate Disengagement and friction/wear balance from “Lifting Plate”

Lifting plates attached to the centre plate ensures that the clutch disc remains central when disengaged. This extends clutch disc life and also reduces the noise that is heard on multi plate clutches.

(4) “Pivot Ring” for superior semi engaged clutch feel.

A low strength ring shaped spring on the pressure plate (pivot ring) increases the semi engaged zone of the clutch. This gives a much smoother driving feel which is often lost on high capacity clutches.

(5)Lightweight Flywheel for improved response.

An ideal flywheel weight for each vehicle type is calculated and test in order to reduce the weight for improved response but to not be so light that the vehicle becomes uncomfortable to drive. The overall weight of the kit is lighter than that of stock clutch.
