Competition Clutch 13-15 Genesis 3.8L 6Cyl Stage 3 - 2600 Segmented Ceramic Clutch Kit w/ Flywheel
The direct injected 3.8 V6 that arrived in the 2013 Genesis Coupe makes far more power than the earlier MPi engine, and once it gets a supercharger, a turbo kit or nitrous the factory clutch becomes the weak link. If your 3.8 R-Spec, Grand Touring or Track car slips in third and fourth at full throttle, flares the tach on a fast upshift, or simply has to survive drag strip launches, Competition Clutch 5098-2600 is a Stage 3 street and strip kit that replaces the clutch and flywheel together.
The 2600 package pairs a performance pressure plate with a sprung disc faced in segmented ceramic pads instead of a full organic ring. Ceramic grabs harder and tolerates much more heat, so the disc can hold up to a 150 percent increase in torque over the stock clutch according to Competition Clutch. The sprung center is the reason this is still usable on the street: the springs absorb driveline shock through the long rear drive driveline, which matters on a car that weighs well over 3,300 lb. The kit is sold with a matching flywheel, so you are not trying to make a fresh pressure plate work on a heat checked factory surface. If you are torn between a full facing and pucks, our organic vs ceramic disc guide walks through the trade off.
Before spending on a Stage 3 kit, rule out hydraulics and fluid. A Genesis Coupe with a soft pedal or a weeping slave can feel like a slipping clutch or a clutch that will not release. Bleed the system and check that the pedal returns cleanly; our clutch slipping diagnosis guide has a simple in gear load test you can do on the road. Also look for oil at the bellhousing seam, because a rear main or input seal leak will contaminate any new disc. Our manual transmission repair cost guide helps if you are deciding between a clutch job and other gearbox work.
This listing is for the 2013-2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe with the 3.8 liter V6 and the six speed manual. Competition Clutch also describes the kit as covering production from January 2012 into 2016 for the 3.8, which is the GDi engine generation. It does not fit the 2010-2012 MPi 3.8 or any 2.0T car; for those see the early 3.8 flywheel and other parts in our clutch and rebuild kit collection. If you are not sure which engine your car has, send us your year and VIN before ordering.
If your 3.8 is mostly stock and you only need a stronger replacement, the SPEC Stage 1 kit for the 2012-2015 3.8 is the smoother daily choice.

No. It is listed for the 2013-2015 Genesis Coupe 3.8 GDi engine with the six speed manual. The earlier MPi 3.8 and all 2.0T cars use different parts. Send us your year and VIN if you are unsure.
It can be driven on the street, but it engages faster and with more pedal effort than stock, and the ceramic pads are less forgiving in stop and go traffic. It makes the most sense for supercharged, turbocharged or drag cars that need the holding power.
Competition Clutch lists a performance pressure plate, a sprung segmented ceramic disc, a throwout bearing and pilot bearing where applicable, an alignment tool, and this part number includes a flywheel.
The clutch hydraulics run on brake fluid. Use fresh fluid of the grade marked on the reservoir cap and bleed the slave cylinder after the new clutch is in.
Yes. Drive normally with no full throttle shifts or hard launches for the first few hundred miles so the friction surfaces seat evenly against the new flywheel.
