Sunshine Coast 4WD Centre can assist you with both general clutch repairs/replacements as well as Heavy Duty Performance Clutch upgrades. Generally people only go with a genuine manufacturer clutch if their vehicle is standard, they have no plans of upgrading their vehicle and the clutch fails. For small passenger vehicles, such as sedans/ hatchbacks, we generally recommend a standard clutch replacement if the clutch fails as a heavier duty clutch is not required in these vehicles.

However, for the avid four wheel driver, usually a heavy duty clutch will be required at some point. Often OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) clutches are not suitable for 4WDs that have had upgrades to increase power/torque. Upgrades such as an ECU Remap/ Tune or Plug and Play options will deliver more power than the OEM clutch can manage as such, the clutch begins to ‘slip’ or can fail completely.
