Let there be “light”: low-inertia LMC Series clutches from Centerforce are designed to dramatically reduce engine rotating mass. When used with Centerforce’s aluminum flywheels, LMC Series clutches bring “lightweight” to a whole new level.

LMC Series clutches are SFI-approved for competition, intended for most road racing and circle track applications. Centerforce machines these special pressure plates from high-strength, aircraft-grade billet aluminum, then attaches a special heat-treated, replaceable friction surface. A dual-segmented carbon-composite lining further offers improved cooling and excellent torque capacity, while the patented “ball bearing” actuated diaphragm and centrifugal weight system create maximum grip and maintain a comfortable and controllable clutch pedal.

Features

  • SFI approved
  • Lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum
  • Replaceable friction surface
  • Patented ball bearing pressure plate
  • Smooth engagement, light pedal effort, and increased holding capacity
