Spec 06-09 Ford Fusion 2.3L / 06-09 Mazda MX-5/Miata 2.0L 5sp Stage 2+ Clutch Kit

The SPEC Stage 2+ clutch kit uses a high-performance sprung hub disc with a carbon-ceramic friction material, offering a significant increase in holding capacity over stock. This setup is designed for drivers who demand more from their drivetrain, whether for spirited street driving or track use. It’s a well-built package that aims to handle increased power while maintaining reasonable drivability for a performance clutch.

This kit is a step up from a basic performance clutch, providing the strength needed for modified engines or those frequently subjected to hard use. The carbon-ceramic material is known for its ability to handle heat and torque, making it a solid choice for applications where a stock clutch would quickly fade. The sprung hub design helps to absorb some of the drivetrain shock, which can be beneficial for daily driving, though it's still a performance-oriented clutch with a firmer engagement feel than factory.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to resurface or replace the flywheel to ensure proper clutch engagement and longevity. This kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a pilot bearing, providing the essential components for a clutch replacement. While it offers improved performance, expect a firmer pedal feel and a more direct engagement compared to your original clutch. This is a popular choice for MX-5 Miata owners looking to upgrade their drivetrain's capability.
