What is the primary benefit of a Stage 5 clutch kit?

A Stage 5 clutch kit, like this SPEC SM885, offers a substantial increase in torque capacity. This is crucial for vehicles that have undergone significant engine modifications, such as turbocharging or extensive internal upgrades, where the stock clutch would not be able to handle the added power.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. However, it is recommended to inspect or replace the pilot bearing and flywheel at the time of clutch replacement, as these are often sold separately.

What is the recommended break-in procedure for this clutch?

SPEC recommends a specific break-in procedure for their performance clutches to ensure proper seating of the friction materials. This typically involves a series of gentle accelerations and decelerations over a set mileage, avoiding hard launches or aggressive shifting during the initial period.

About this part

Product Details

The SPEC Stage 5 clutch kit for your 2002-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer (non-turbo 2.0L) is built with a sprung multi-plate design, offering a significant increase in torque capacity over stock. This setup is engineered for drivers who have made substantial modifications and need a clutch that can handle serious power without slipping. The sprung design helps to dampen engagement, making it more manageable for daily driving than a solid multi-plate setup, though it still requires a firmer pedal feel than the original clutch.

This kit features a high-performance friction material designed for extreme heat resistance and durability under high-load conditions. The multi-plate configuration spreads the clamping force over a larger surface area, which is key to handling the increased torque from engine modifications. Installation will require careful attention to alignment and proper break-in procedures as outlined by SPEC to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Because this is a Stage 5 kit, it's intended for vehicles with significant engine upgrades, such as forced induction or extensive internal work, where the stock clutch would quickly fail.

When installing this clutch, be prepared for a firmer pedal feel and a more direct engagement. It's crucial to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in period, typically involving a series of gentle accelerations and decelerations, to properly seat the friction surfaces. This process is essential for achieving the full performance potential and extending the life of the clutch assembly.
