A stage 3 clutch is a type of clutch designed for serious drivers and high-performance cars that are tuned to the zenith, leaving stock far behind. It is a serious piece of equipment that comes with a heavy-duty pressure plate and a six-puck ceramic hub disc that can withstand tons of heat and allow for faster engagement with no slipping. Stage 3 clutches have a carbon semi-metallic six-puck disc, and they come in a three-puck format. They are suitable for heavy-duty street use as well as more frequent drag, road, or drift racing. The segmented configuration of the extremely durable, high-performance MIBA Sprung Ceramic Disc in a 4 or 6 puck configuration produces greater pressure for clamping power while also reducing weight. Stage 3 clutches are not suitable for daily driving, and they are recommended for use in vehicles with high torque capacity. They are ideal for street, drag racing, pulling, and autocross use, and sometimes even drifting.
