Spec 01-04 Ford Escape 2.0L/97-02 Escort ZX2 2.0L / 01-04 Mazda Tribute 2.0L Stage 5 Clutch Kit

This SPEC Stage 5 clutch kit is designed for the 1997-2002 Ford Escort ZX2 with the 2.0L engine. It also fits the 2001-2002 Ford Escape and 2001-2002 Mazda Tribute, both with the 2.0L engine. If you're looking to handle significantly more power than stock, whether from engine modifications or just want a clutch that can take a beating, this Stage 5 kit is a solid choice.

The Stage 5 kit includes a high-performance sprung clutch disc and a heavy-duty pressure plate. The sprung disc helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that comes with a high-engagement clutch, making it a bit more manageable for daily driving compared to an unsprung version. The pressure plate is built to clamp down hard, ensuring that your engine's power gets transferred to the drivetrain without slipping, even under aggressive use. This setup is engineered to hold a substantial amount of torque, making it suitable for modified vehicles that see track time or frequent hard acceleration.

When installing a clutch kit of this caliber, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear or damage. If your flywheel is warped or has deep grooves, it's best to have it resurfaced or replaced to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your new clutch. This kit is a direct replacement for the stock clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process.
