Uprated RTS clutch kits for Ford 1.5 and 1.6 diesel six speed, Volvo 1.6D and Mazda 3 and 5

Put your torque to the road with the RTS uprated clutch range. Engineered for six speed manual Ford 1.5 TDCi and 1.6 TDCi, Volvo 1.6D and Mazda 3 and 5 applications, these assemblies deliver serious holding power with a pedal feel that stays close to factory. Perfect for daily drivers, fast road builds and track-day cars that need dependable bite and heat control without sacrificing driveability.

Why enthusiasts choose RTS for diesel performance

• Substantial clamp load increase for far greater torque capacity than the standard unit while keeping a near OE pedal weight.
• Dual friction and paddle options provide aggressive bite for tuned setups, with smooth take-up available from the heavy duty organic option.
• Aramid-based linings resist fade and wear, helping the disc run cooler and last longer under repeated hard use.
• Spheroidal cast pressure plate with ER2 heat management features for improved thermal stability and consistent engagement.
• Proven on fast road and circuit cars with excellent manners in traffic and around town.

Choose your spec and torque rating

• RTSHD-0015 heavy duty organic clutch kit, rated up to 350 lb-ft. Smooth engagement and ideal for daily use with remapped diesel power.
• RTSTF-0015 twin friction clutch kit, rated up to 380 lb-ft. Stronger initial bite and superior heat handling for fast road and mixed track use.
• RTSPC-0015 5 paddle clutch kit, rated up to 400 lb-ft. Maximum holding for higher torque builds with a more assertive engagement.

All variants significantly out-perform the factory clutch. Pick heavy duty organic for street comfort, twin friction when fade resistance matters, and five paddle when outright torque capacity is the priority.
