Performance Upgrades Tailored to Your Build

Main dealerships will not fit aftermarket performance parts, and standard fast-fit garages lack the specialist knowledge required to properly shim and balance an upgraded clutch system. We supply and fit heavy-duty upgrades based entirely on how you use the car:

Fast Road & Stage 1: Sachs Performance Clutches

If you drive a daily commuter that has been treated to a Stage 1 remap, you need a clutch that can hold the extra torque without making the pedal feel like a leg-press machine in stop-start traffic.

• We highly recommend Sachs Performance Organic clutch kits. These utilise an upgraded, high-friction organic compound and a strengthened pressure plate with a much higher clamping force. They feel incredibly close to a standard factory pedal but are rated to hold significantly more torque, making them the ultimate "fast road" upgrade.

Track Day & Stage 2+: Paddle Clutches (Cerametallic)

For heavily modified cars running larger turbos, aggressive Stage 2+ maps, or frequent track days, an organic clutch will eventually overheat.

• For these extreme applications, we supply and fit Paddle Clutches (Cerametallic friction plates). Featuring a 4-paddle or 6-paddle design, these clutches grab the flywheel aggressively and will not slip under extreme load or high-temperature track conditions. (Note: Paddle clutches have a much sharper biting point and are strictly recommended for performance/track-focused builds rather than daily stop-start driving).

Upgraded Flywheels & Essential Hydraulics

Putting a heavy-duty clamping pressure plate onto a worn, high-mileage Dual-Mass Flywheel is a recipe for disaster. We meticulously inspect your flywheel and can supply upgraded, torque-rated replacements that match your new performance clutch. And, just like our standard repairs, we always replace the Concentric Slave Cylinder (CSC) while the gearbox is out, ensuring your hydraulic system can handle the increased pressure without blowing a seal.

Hot Hatches & Performance Cars We Upgrade

We regularly carry out complex gearbox bench rebuilds and performance clutch upgrades on the UK's most popular driver's cars, including:

• VAG Hot Hatches: VW Golf GTI, Golf R, Audi S3, RS3, SEAT Leon Cupra, and Skoda vRS (both manual and DSG clutch pack upgrades).

• Fast Fords: Focus ST, Focus RS, Fiesta ST, and tuned EcoBoost Mustangs.

• BMW M-Performance: BMW M135i, M140i, M2, M3, M4, and tuned 335d/340i models.

• Japanese & Korean Track Weapons: Hyundai i30N, Honda Civic Type R, Toyota GR Yaris, and Subaru Impreza WRX STI.

The Mechtronics Standard: Precision Installation

Fitting a performance clutch requires much more than just bolting it on. Upgraded pressure plates put significantly more stress on the gearbox input shaft, the release bearing, and the flywheel bolts.

Because Mechtronics was built on complex mechanical and auto-electrical fault finding, we treat every performance upgrade as a precision engineering task. We torque every single bolt to exact manufacturer specifications, ensure absolute cleanliness to prevent friction plate contamination, and guarantee the gearbox is perfectly aligned to prevent premature bearing wear.
