Rather than creating another “me too” line of new clutch kits, we set out to rethink and improve the way kits are developed, packaged, and sold.

Quality

In order to ensure optimum performance and lasting durability with every clutch installation, it’s important to use only quality clutch components that are engineered to function as a precision-matched system with the other driveline components. That’s why, where applicable, every AMS  clutch kit contains an all-new pressure plate assembly, disc assembly, release

bearing, pilot bearing/bushing and alignment tool, designed for specific vehicle applications and driving styles.

Because few applications are identical in terms of driveline requirements, we don’t rely on low-grade substitutes in vehicles that demand the use of specific technological designs. Nor do we rely on low quality components produced in so-called “emerging markets”. These products simply can’t match our criterion of providing only those clutches which have been engineered and manufactured to the O.E. tolerance and performance specifications of major automobile manufacturers throughout the world.

As a final measure of quality, each kit component must pass stringent performance assurance tests. Please refer to the information listed under the Automotive Light/Medium Duty Components section for more details regarding individual components contained in AMS kits.

Coverage

While some companies may view parts proliferation as a threat, we look at it as an opportunity to set ourselves apart from the competition. Our extensive line of new clutch kits includes coverage on nearly 100% of all domestic and import applications for passenger cars and light to medium-duty trucks being driven in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America.

Shortly after nameplate introduction of a new vehicle, we utilize our product expertise to begin researching and testing components. When these efforts are combined with our strong O.E.M. relationships, we are almost always first to introduce kits for these late model applications to the aftermarket.

In addition, we provide unsurpassed coverage on original style kits for older applications, while also including various pressure plate and disc assembly options for these same applications.

When special upgrades are needed to resolve inherent problems in certain applications or driving styles, our offering of heavy-duty and high-performance Series Upgrade (SR) New Clutch Kits lead the industry. Available in multiple unique platforms, each SR Kit is engineered to meet distinctly different torque, horsepower, and usage requirements.

Finally, for discerning import specialists that insist on nothing but the exact O.E.M./O.E.S. fit, form, and function, we offer a comprehensive lineup of Select Engineered (SE) Premium New Clutch Kits.

Warranty

By design, clutches are meant to wear out, but they shouldn’t fail due to poor workmanship, engineering, or materials. The fact is that too many clutch do fail prematurely, because they’re well-disguised replacements that are built using inferior raw materials, unskilled labor, and third-world technology.

AMS clutch kits are different. We believe high quality has no substitute and we never take short cuts that might compromise our commitment to offering the highest quality products available. That’s why every AMS clutch kit is backed by the industry’s most extensive and reliable warranty against defects in workmanship and materials. All kits are warranted for a limited period of 12-months or 12,000 miles whichever occurs first, except SR Upgrades, which are warranted for a limited period of 3-months or 3,000 miles. All warranty claims must be submitted and shipped to the distributor from which the product was purchased.

Packaging

AMS clutch kit packaging has set a new standard in function and appearance. While other suppliers still insist on conventional packing methods such as plastic “skin wrap” or cardboard inserts, AMS utilizes the latest available biostable foam technology. This advanced type packaging protects components against damage during shipping and handling, and also allows for inspection of the product, without destroying the basic protective function of the package. In addition, our unique SleevePac design uses a varnish coating that protects the package against dirt, resulting in increased shelf life.

Finally, the award-winning graphic designs used on our SleevePac show how proud we are to offer only the best of the best. Through the use of crisp product images and a listing of many of the O.E. products contained in AMS kits, our message of high quality is clearly spelled out in multiple languages.
