Spec 03-09 Saab 9-3 5sp 2.0L Aero Vector 6sp/06-10 9-3 V6 2.8L Stage 2 Clutch Kit

The friction material on this SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit is a high-performance organic composite, chosen for its ability to handle increased torque and heat without glazing. This kit is specifically built for the 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 models equipped with the 2.0L Aero Vector 5-speed transmission, and also fits the 2006-2010 9-3 models with the 2.8L V6 6-speed. If you're looking to upgrade your Saab's clutch to handle more power, especially if you've made other engine modifications, this Stage 2 kit is a solid choice.

This SPEC clutch kit includes a performance pressure plate that offers a firmer pedal feel than stock, which helps ensure positive engagement and disengagement of the clutch. The kit also comes with a high-performance sprung hub clutch disc, designed to absorb drivetrain shock and vibration more effectively than a rigid hub disc, making it more comfortable for daily driving while still offering the performance you need. The sprung hub design is particularly beneficial for reducing chatter and noise, which can sometimes be a concern with more aggressive clutch setups.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure. This typically involves a period of gentle driving with no hard launches or aggressive shifting to allow the new friction surfaces to properly mate. This process is crucial for maximizing the lifespan and performance of the clutch. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your original clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process.
