Heavy Duty Clutch Upgrades Perth

Towing heavy loads? Hitting steep tracks? Carrying extra weight with camping gear or trade tools? A standard clutch just isn’t built for that. At Oceans Automotive, we install heavy duty clutch upgrades that can handle the demands of real 4WD use — giving you better grip, smoother engagement, and longer lifespan under pressure.

Clutch Built for the Tough Stuff

Your factory clutch is designed for general driving — not for towing a caravan through Karijini or crawling over coastal dunes with a canopy full of gear. A heavy duty clutch upgrade improves torque handling, heat resistance, and clutch plate durability, reducing slippage and giving you more confidence in your 4WD’s performance.

At Oceans, we only install high-quality clutch kits designed for Australian off-road and towing conditions. Whether it’s an organic, ceramic, or performance hybrid setup, we match the clutch to your vehicle’s purpose — not just the part number.

The Process

Our clutch upgrade process is carried out with precision and transparency. Here’s how we get it done:

Inspection & Clutch Condition Check

We assess your current clutch system, including pedal feel, engagement point, and signs of slippage, noise or wear, to confirm if an upgrade is the right move.

Clutch Kit Recommendation

We’ll recommend a clutch kit based on your vehicle’s weight, usage, and performance goals. From heavy-duty organic for daily towing to ceramic button clutches for more aggressive setups, we help you choose smart.

Transmission Removal & Flywheel Inspection

We remove the gearbox to access the clutch and inspect the flywheel for heat spots, cracks or damage. Machining, resurfacing, or replacement may be advised depending on condition.

Final Test Drive & Handover

We road test your vehicle to ensure strong, clean engagement under load, and no abnormal noise or chatter. You’ll get a summary of what’s been fitted and how to bed it in properly.
