Nissan Micra K11 CG Motorsport Dual Friction Performance Clutch Kit

Need more torque capacity than a conventional fast-road clutch, but don't want the aggressive behaviour of a full paddle clutch?

The CG Motorsport Dual Friction Performance Clutch Kit provides an excellent middle ground for tuned Nissan Micra K11s, combining two different friction materials within the clutch disc to provide increased torque capacity while retaining more road-friendly characteristics.

One side of the clutch disc uses an organic racing friction material, while the opposing side uses a paddle friction arrangement.

This allows the Dual Friction kit to support approximately 40-45% more torque than the standard clutch application, while maintaining a considerably more conventional driving experience than a dedicated full paddle competition clutch.

Dual Friction Technology

The key difference with this clutch is the combination of two different friction materials.

Rather than using an entirely organic disc or moving directly to a full paddle arrangement, the Dual Friction clutch combines:

Organic Racing Material
on one side of the clutch disc

with

Paddle Friction Material
on the opposing side.

The objective is to provide greater torque capacity and more positive engagement while retaining better road manners than a conventional full paddle competition clutch.

For modified road cars, this provides a useful compromise between outright holding capacity and everyday usability.

40-45% Increased Torque Capacity

CG Motorsport rates the Dual Friction kit for approximately:

40-45% Increased Torque over the Standard Application

This makes it particularly suitable for K11s that have progressed beyond basic naturally aspirated modifications and require greater clutch capacity.

Typical applications include:

• Turbocharged K11s
• Supercharged K11s
• Tuned Naturally Aspirated Builds
• Fast-Road Cars
• Track-Day Cars
• Performance Engine Builds
• Vehicles Running Increased Torque

⚠️ This Rating is Based on Torque, Not Horsepower

Clutches transmit torque, so suitability should be determined using the engine's expected torque output rather than horsepower alone.

Actual clutch capacity will also be affected by factors including vehicle use, flywheel condition, installation, bedding procedure and driving style.

More Road-Friendly than a Full Paddle Clutch

A conventional paddle clutch can provide substantial torque capacity but often introduces compromises during normal driving.

These can include:

• Aggressive Engagement
• Reduced Ability to Slip the Clutch Smoothly
• Increased Judder
• Increased Chatter
• More Difficult Low-Speed Manoeuvring

The Dual Friction arrangement is intended to provide increased holding capacity while retaining a near-standard driving feel compared with a dedicated paddle clutch.

It will still feel more performance-focused than a standard replacement clutch, but it provides an excellent option for powerful road cars that aren't intended to behave like a race car every time they leave a junction.

Grooved & Curved Slotted Design

CG Motorsport uses its grooved and curved slotted pressure plate design to assist with heat management and load distribution.

According to CG Motorsport, this design helps reduce surface heat while distributing an additional 7-8% load to the drive plate.

This is particularly useful in performance applications where the clutch may experience considerably greater thermal and mechanical loads than a standard road vehicle.

Which CG Motorsport Clutch is Right for Me?

Stage 1 - Up to 20% Increase over Standard

Best suited to:

• Daily Drivers
• Mildly Modified Engines
• Naturally Aspirated Performance Builds
• Customers Prioritising Road Manners

Provides increased clamping capacity while retaining a soft, progressive bite and OEM-like pedal feel.

Stage 2 - Up to 30% Increase over Standard

Best suited to:

• Fast-Road Builds
• Moderately Modified Engines
• Low-Boost Turbo Builds
• Lower-Power Forced-Induction Applications

Provides increased clamping force with a firmer pedal and sharper bite point than Stage 1.

Dual Friction - Approximately 40-45% Increase over Standard

Best suited to:

• More Powerful Fast-Road Builds
• Turbocharged & Supercharged K11s
• Cars Requiring Increased Torque Capacity
• Customers Wanting More Capacity without a Full Paddle Clutch

Combines organic and paddle friction materials to bridge the gap between a conventional performance clutch and a more aggressive competition paddle setup.

Stage 3 - Up to 50% Increase over Standard

Best suited to:

• Track-Focused Cars
• Competition Builds
• Higher-Torque Applications
• Vehicles Where Maximum Holding Capacity Takes Priority over Refinement

Provides a firm pedal and aggressive, positive engagement.

Judder, chatter and increased drivetrain noise should be expected with this type of performance clutch.

⚠️ Check Your Clutch Before Ordering

With the K11 now being several decades old, many vehicles have undergone engine, gearbox, flywheel or clutch conversions during their lifetime.

Do not rely solely on the vehicle's registration year.

If there is any uncertainty, we recommend confirming the clutch diameter and spline arrangement physically before ordering.

This is particularly important for:

• Engine-Swapped Cars
• Replacement Gearboxes
• Converted CG10 / CG13 / CGA3 Cars
• Imported Vehicles
• Cars with Unknown Modification History

500-Mile Bedding-In Period Required

A MINIMUM 500-MILE BEDDING-IN PERIOD IS REQUIRED.

A new clutch requires time for the friction surfaces to correctly bed against the flywheel and pressure plate.

During the first 500 miles, avoid:

• Full-Throttle Launches
• Hard Standing Starts
• Aggressive Gear Changes
• Repeated High-Load Clutch Slipping
• Track Use
• Dyno Power Runs
• Maximum Torque Testing

Failure to correctly bed the clutch can result in glazing, overheating, judder, reduced holding capacity or premature wear.

For performance and forced-induction vehicles, do not carry out full-power testing until the bedding procedure has been completed.

Flywheel Condition is Critical

The condition of the flywheel has a direct effect on clutch operation.

Before installation, the flywheel should be inspected for:

• Heat Spots
• Cracking
• Excessive Wear
• Scoring
• Distortion
• Surface Contamination
• Incorrect Step / Surface Condition

Installing a new performance clutch against a damaged or unsuitable flywheel can result in poor engagement, judder or premature clutch failure.

What's Included?

The CG Motorsport Dual Friction kit includes the appropriate clutch components for the selected application.

A mechanical release bearing is included where applicable.

Concentric Slave Cylinders (CSC) are NOT Included

Where an application uses a concentric slave cylinder, this is not supplied as part of the standard clutch kit unless specifically stated.

Performance Clutch Characteristics

Performance clutches operate differently from standard replacement clutches.

Depending on the vehicle, flywheel and clutch specification, some increase in:

• Engagement Noise
• Chatter
• Judder
• Pedal Effort
• Drivetrain Feedback

may be experienced.

These characteristics do not necessarily indicate a defective clutch.

The Dual Friction kit is designed to retain better road manners than a conventional full paddle clutch, but customers should still expect a more performance-focused driving experience than with a standard OEM clutch.

Professional Installation Recommended

Clutch replacement requires removal of the gearbox and should be carried out by somebody suitably experienced.

The installer should inspect:

• Flywheel
• Release Mechanism
• Clutch Fork
• Input Shaft
• Gearbox Oil Seals
• Crankshaft Rear Main Seal
• Engine & Gearbox Mounts
• Clutch Cable / Hydraulic System where applicable

The clutch disc must be correctly aligned and all fasteners tightened to the appropriate specification.
