Nissan Micra K11 CG Motorsport Stage 1 Performance Clutch Kit

The CG Motorsport Stage 1 Performance Clutch Kit is designed for mildly modified Nissan Micra K11s that require increased clutch capacity without sacrificing the progressive engagement and everyday drivability of an OEM-style clutch.

Offering increased clamping force while retaining a smooth, easy-to-control bite and familiar pedal feel, Stage 1 is ideal for daily-driven and fast-road K11s with mild performance upgrades.

If you've started modifying your Micra but don't need the aggressive characteristics of a higher-stage clutch, this is the place to start.

Stage 1 – Performance Without Sacrificing Drivability

The Stage 1 clutch is designed to provide additional holding capacity over a standard replacement clutch while retaining the smooth engagement required for a regularly driven road car.

CG Motorsport's high-density friction material is designed to cope with the additional heat generated by a mildly tuned engine while maintaining progressive engagement.

The grooved and curved slotted friction design helps manage surface temperature while distributing additional load across the drive plate.

For customers who want a clutch capable of handling modest performance increases without turning every journey into a leg workout, Stage 1 is the most road-friendly option in the range.

Which Clutch Stage Do I Need?

Stage 1 – Up to 20% Increase in Torque Over Stock

Ideal for daily-driven cars with mild performance upgrades.

Provides increased clamping force while maintaining a soft, easy-to-modulate bite and an OEM-like pedal feel.

Suitable for mild naturally aspirated tuning, basic performance upgrades and similar applications.

Stage 2 – Up to 30% Increase in Torque Over Stock

Designed for fast-road vehicles with more substantial performance modifications.

Provides increased clamping force compared with Stage 1, accompanied by a firmer pedal and sharper bite point.

Typically suited to low-boost / lower-power forced-induction applications where Stage 1 may no longer provide sufficient capacity.

Stage 3 – Up to 50% Increase in Torque Over Stock

Designed for track-focused and substantially modified vehicles.

Provides the highest clamping force of the three options, with a firm pedal and much more positive engagement.

Better suited to applications where outright holding capacity is prioritised over everyday refinement.

⚠️ K11 Clutch Size Guide

Please check your vehicle specification carefully before ordering.

The Nissan Micra K11 was fitted with different clutch sizes and spline configurations depending on engine and generation.

Pre-Facelift CG10
160mm / 16 Spline

Pre-Facelift CG13
180mm / 18 Spline

1st Facelift CG10
180mm / 18 Spline

1st Facelift CG13
180mm / 18 Spline

2nd Facelift CG10
180mm / 18 Spline

2nd Facelift CGA3
180mm / 18 Spline

Due to the age of these vehicles, engines and transmissions may have been replaced or swapped during their lifetime.

Registration year alone should not be relied upon where there is any uncertainty regarding the gearbox currently fitted to the vehicle.

We recommend confirming the existing clutch diameter and input shaft spline count before ordering if the vehicle's history or drivetrain specification is unknown.

Release Bearing

Where the vehicle uses a conventional mechanical release bearing, the appropriate release bearing is included within the clutch kit.

Concentric Slave Cylinders (CSC) are NOT included.

If your application uses a concentric slave cylinder, this must be purchased separately where required.

⚠️ 500-Mile Bedding-In Period Required

A minimum 500-mile bedding-in period is required after installation.

During this period, the clutch should be used progressively and excessive heat or load avoided.

Hard launches, aggressive gear changes, prolonged clutch slipping, full-power acceleration and other high-load use should be avoided during the bedding-in period.

Correct bedding-in allows the friction surfaces to establish an even contact pattern and is important for achieving the intended performance and service life of the clutch.

Installation

Professional installation by a suitably qualified technician is strongly recommended.

Before installation, the flywheel should be inspected for wear, heat damage, cracking or an uneven friction surface and resurfaced or replaced where necessary.

The clutch operating mechanism, release bearing, cable or hydraulic system and surrounding components should also be inspected while the transmission is removed.

Incorrect installation, a damaged flywheel or faults elsewhere within the clutch operating system can cause symptoms which may incorrectly appear to be clutch failure.

CG Motorsport 90-Day Manufacturer Warranty

CG Motorsport performance clutch kits are supplied with a 90-day mechanical warranty, subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms and conditions.

Performance clutches can naturally exhibit characteristics including increased noise, judder or chatter depending on the clutch specification and vehicle. These characteristics are not necessarily considered manufacturing defects and may not be covered under warranty.

Warranty coverage may be invalidated where the clutch has:

• Been operated beyond its recommended power/torque capacity
• Been incorrectly installed
• Been modified
• Been subjected to misuse or abuse
• Been transferred or sold to another party
• Been damaged by surrounding components or installation faults

Proof of purchase will be required for any warranty claim.

Please contact us before removing or returning a clutch which you believe may be defective so that the appropriate warranty procedure can be followed.

Labour, removal, installation and other consequential costs are not automatically covered by the manufacturer's warranty and should not be assumed to form part of a successful claim.
