Comp Clutch 2002-2005 Subaru WRX Stage 3 – Segmented Ceramic Clutch Kit

Part Details:

The Competition Clutch Stage 3 – Street-Strip Series 2300 Clutch Kit is engineered for high-performance street and strip use, offering up to a 150% increase in torque capacity over the factory clutch. This setup is ideal for vehicles producing significant power that require strong holding capability while remaining controllable for street driving.

The 2300 Series uses segmented Carbon Kevlar friction material paired with a performance pressure plate to deliver fast yet smooth engagement, excellent heat resistance, and extended service life. This combination provides a strong balance between aggressive performance and drivability.

Pressure Plate & Disc Design

The high-torque sprung disc features segmented Carbon Kevlar facings designed to withstand elevated temperatures and repeated high-load engagement. Compared to organic materials, Carbon Kevlar offers improved durability and resistance to fade under aggressive driving conditions.

The sprung hub design helps absorb drivetrain shock during engagement, reducing stress on transmission components and making the clutch more manageable for street use compared to rigid race discs.

Street & Strip Engagement Characteristics

Engagement is quicker and more direct than Stage 2 setups, while remaining smoother and more forgiving than ceramic-based Stage 3 race clutches. This makes the 2300 Series well suited for aggressive street driving, drag racing, and high-power street-strip builds.

A 500-mile break-in period is required to properly seat the friction material and ensure optimal performance and longevity.
