Solutions for Extreme ConditionsThe LuK RepSet PRO GOLD SERIES sets the standard for clutch performance with parts designed specifically for extreme applications. LuK engineers established new specifications to improve clutch performance under extreme conditions and heavy usage, and then built LuK RepSet PRO GOLD SERIES to meet them. The result is a line of premium-quality clutch sets offering the increased clamp load and torque capacity needed for the most demanding applications without sacrificing clutch service life.
Serious performance that's designed and built in...not added on.Original equipment clutches are designed for long service life under normal use in ordinary driving conditions. They are not designed to meet the constant punishment of four-wheeling, the demands of heavy towing and plowing or the durability requirements of commercial applications.
Higher performance can't be added on to a standard clutch. Some clutch suppliers paint ordinary clutches and call them high performance; others modify clutches to increase initial clamp load, but these modifications actually shorten clutch service life.
Increased clamp load through engineeringA new diaphragm spring clutch produces a specific clamp load that exceeds the requirements for the product's intended use. As the clutch wears during normal operation, clamp load increases, peaks in mid-life and decreases gradually as shown on the clutch graph. Clutches modified to increase performance only move the initial operating point on the clutch curve. This increases initial clamp load, but shortens clutch service life.
These products are limited by the original product design and were never intended for high performance. LuK RepSet PRO GOLD SERIES clutches generate unique operating curves for increased clamp load.
The only way to increase clutch performance is to establish new standards for each vehicle application.
Don't let appearance modifications fool you. LuK RepSet PRO GOLD SERIES may not appear different than the standard LuK RepSet, but a close inspection of the component parts confirms the difference. Increased performance is achieved through the design of the component parts that are most critical to clutch performance and service life. These include the disc coil springs, hub-flange and clutch diaphragm spring.
Designed to take the heat, comfortablyLuK RepSet PRO GOLD SERIES discs are designed to handle the heat generated by heavy-duty use and engine modifications. Higher torque capacity is achieved by design of the disc coil springs and hub-flanges.
LuK RepSet PRO GOLD SERIES discs contain the highest quality, premium organic material with friction coefficients to handle the heat and provide smooth, comfortable engagement.
Competitive products offer off-the-shelf torque capacity at best. And when non-original equipment products are used, as is often the case, their torque capacity is less than our standard LuK RepSet. All LuK RepSet PRO GOLD SERIES discs have torque capacities designed for performance and comfort.
Cerametallic button discs have an excessively high coefficient of friction, increasing wear on the clutch and flywheel friction surfaces. Driveability is sacrificed due to the aggressiveness of cerametallic friction material that causes engagement to be very abrupt and harsh - undesirable qualities for a clutch.
Whether it's towing a heavy load up the side of a mountain or four-wheeling over rocky terrain, the clamp load and torque capacity of LuK RepSet PRO GOLD SERIES puts you in control without sacrificing clutch service life.
NOTE:
When upgrading to an 11" clutch, six grade 8 3/8"-16x1" bolts with lock washers are required!
