What is the main benefit of a Stage 3 clutch kit?

A Stage 3 clutch kit, like this SPEC SZ133, is designed to handle significantly more power than a stock clutch. It offers increased clamping force and a more robust friction surface, making it suitable for vehicles with engine modifications or those used in demanding applications.

Does this clutch kit come with everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It is recommended to inspect and potentially replace other related components such as the pilot bearing, throw-out bearing, and flywheel during installation, as these are typically not included.

How does the sprung hub clutch disc affect driving feel?

The sprung hub in the clutch disc helps to absorb torsional vibrations and shock during engagement. This can make the clutch feel a bit smoother and more manageable in daily driving situations compared to a solid hub disc, while still providing strong engagement.

About this part

Product Details

This is the SPEC Stage 3 Clutch Kit, part number SZ133, designed for the 2006-2009 Ford Fusion with the 2.3L engine, and the 2006-2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata with the 2.0L 5-speed transmission. If you're looking to handle more power or want a more direct engagement feel from your drivetrain, this clutch kit is a solid option.

The Stage 3 kit includes a high-performance clutch disc with a sprung hub, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration during engagement, making it more manageable for daily driving than some other high-performance options. It also comes with a heavy-duty pressure plate that offers increased clamping force over stock, ensuring a strong connection between the engine and transmission. This well-built kit is designed to handle applications where the engine output has been increased, providing reliable power transfer.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's a significant upgrade over the factory setup. It's recommended to have a professional mechanic perform the installation if you're not experienced with clutch replacements, as it involves removing the transmission. Ensure all related drivetrain components are in good condition before installation to maximize the performance and longevity of the new clutch.
