The CUSCO Metal-Series High-Performance Clutch System is an ultra-durable, competition-ready drivetrain solution engineered for the late-model GR Yaris 6MT (4WD) where maximum torque capacity and extreme heat resistance are paramount. This system utilizes a full-metal clutch disc paired with a high-clamp CUSCO cover, designed to withstand the highest levels of abuse from turbocharged engines, repeated launches, and endurance racing. It delivers uncompromising durability and power transfer for the most demanding performance and competitive environments.

Product Highlights

🔥 Full-Metal Clutch Disc for Maximum Endurance
The metal (sintered or similar) clutch disc is engineered for ultimate heat resistance and torque capacity, far exceeding organic or copper materials. It is designed to handle extreme temperatures and clamping forces without fading, making it ideal for high-horsepower builds, drag racing, and prolonged track sessions.

⚙️ Matched High-Clamp CUSCO Clutch Cover
This system must be used with the dedicated CUSCO Clutch Cover (00C-022-B1C7). The cover is engineered with an increased clamp load specifically matched to the metal disc’s characteristics, ensuring full engagement, preventing slippage, and providing consistent pedal feel under the most severe loads.

🔒 Exclusive System Compatibility – No Mix & Match
The Metal Disc and Copper Single Disc are engineered exclusively for use with the CUSCO Clutch Cover. They cannot be used with the OEM cover or pressure plates from other manufacturers. This ensures optimal performance, safety, and longevity.

🔧 Complete Kit or Individual Component Flexibility

• Metal Set: Includes both the Metal Disc and CUSCO Clutch Cover (1C7-022-G) – the complete, matched system.

• Individual Metal Disc: Sold separately (00C-022-C1C7T) for use with the CUSCO cover.

• CUSCO Clutch Cover: The essential matching pressure plate (00C-022-B1C7).

⚠️ Mandatory Pedal Spring Upgrade
*When installing the Metal Set or Metal Disc, it is mandatory to replace the factory clutch pedal return spring with the genuine Toyota performance spring [Part Number: 90949-03068]. This is critical to handle the increased pedal pressure and ensure safe, reliable operation.

Installation & Critical Usage Notes

🔧 Expert Professional Installation Required
This is a competition-grade component. Installation is complex and requires transmission removal, precise flywheel preparation (resurfacing or replacement with a performance unit is highly recommended), and expert alignment. Must be installed by a specialist.

⚙️ Aggressive Engagement & Increased NVH
The metal-on-metal engagement is significantly more aggressive than street clutches. Expect a very firm pedal, a sharp/bitey engagement point, and increased gear noise (chatter) during engagement/disengagement. This is normal for this clutch type.

🏁 Intended for Extreme Duty Only
This clutch is NOT for street-driven vehicles. It is designed for:

• Dedicated track/race cars

• High-horsepower drag builds

• Time attack vehicles

• Any application where absolute maximum torque capacity and heat resistance are the sole priorities, and driveability is secondary.
