Performance figures in my sig below - running that on an AP Organic clutch for the FRS & only slips very slightly right at the top of the rev range under very heavy acceleration - oh & dont get a 6 paddle as they are not rated any higher for torque than the Organic is

burton power does them dont know if there the cheapest tho ?


std ford clutch


AP Racing Organic Clutch Kit Std Presure

as Standard by ford

Organic smooth operation.
A genuine AP original equipment part for the Focus RS

Ford Focus RS Uprated Clutch cover and plate developed by AP Racing for competition and track day applications .
This kit is suitable for up to 335bhp.


racing organic


Focus RS AP Racing Organic Clutch Kit Uprated

Got more power ? Fit this Uprated Clutch

Organic smooth operation
Uprated presure plate for added grab.
A genuine AP Racing part for the focus RS

When the power goes up so does the chance of clutch slippage.
For power close to and over 300bhp this uprated organic clutch will retain the smooth operation and feel of the std clutch but will give the added bite from its harder presure plate.
If the paddle clutch is too aggressive then this is the next best thing, perfect for the trip to the shops or those quick get aways down the drag strip.
suitable for power to 350 bhp maximum



Focus RS Exedy clutch and flywheel Combo

the highest Power clutch available for the RS and zetec 2000

Comes with a steel/chrome moly lightweight flywheel ,sub 6 kg
6-paddle cerametallic sprung friction plate for smooth engagment.
Exedy highest quality guaranteed
These usually retail at over �950.00

The Exedy Hyper Single the next generation clutch and flywheel system for those reaching the limit of the STD AP item.

Supplied as a complete kit incorporating compact and lightweight designs of all the components.
The disc,cover and flywheel are included, allowing for better engagement and improved shift response.
The forged aluminium cover, anodised purple, is stiffer and therefore allows a higher lever ratio to maintain the std focus pedal feel. This aluminium cover plate also reduces load deflection compared to the standard pressed metal type cover, hence providing a better clamping load for the drive plate. A cerametalic drive plate is used to transfer the drive from the 6 kg Lightweight Hardened Chrome Moly Flywheel (12kg in Ford original equipmet) that will out last any std flywheel 2- 3 times over.


RRP Ł895.00
Our price Ł825.00 (Inc. VAT)
Order quantity

Hmmm, sound like that's the case.... unless it's close enough to mod?

TB's are awesome on the Estate! Was edging past a Focus ST last night!!
Will stick up a thread on it soon....

So, an AP Focus RS Paddle Clutch will fit a 2.0L Zetec Flywheel on an MTX75 box, cable driven?
