Spec 04-06 BMW X5 (6sp) Stage 4 Clutch Kit

This SPEC Stage 4 clutch kit, part number SB884, is designed for your 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci, 325i, 325xi, and 2001-2005 X5 models equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. When you're looking to handle significantly more power than the stock clutch can manage, this kit is a solid option. It includes a high-performance clutch disc, a robust pressure plate, and a new release bearing, giving you the essential components needed for a complete clutch replacement.

The Stage 4 clutch is built for serious performance, featuring a sprung, multi-plate design that offers a substantial increase in torque capacity. This setup is ideal for vehicles that have undergone significant modifications, such as forced induction or engine swaps, and require a clutch that can reliably transfer that extra power to the drivetrain. While it offers a significant performance upgrade, be aware that a Stage 4 clutch typically results in a firmer pedal feel and a more abrupt engagement compared to a stock clutch. This is a direct result of the increased clamping force needed to hold the higher torque levels.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures. Ensure the flywheel is properly resurfaced or replaced, as this is critical for clutch longevity and performance. Because this is a performance-oriented component, it's often paired with other drivetrain upgrades to maximize its benefits and ensure the entire system can handle the increased power output. This kit is a well-built solution for those pushing the limits of their BMW's powertrain.
