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

A Stage 5 clutch kit, like this SPEC SZ135, is designed to handle significantly higher horsepower and torque than a stock clutch. It's ideal for heavily modified vehicles, especially those with forced induction, that require a clutch capable of reliably transferring extreme power without slipping.

What components are included in the SPEC SZ135 Stage 5 clutch kit?

This kit includes a high-performance pressure plate, a sprung multi-plate carbon-carbon friction disc, and a sprung hub. These components work together to provide the necessary clamping force and durability for high-performance applications.

Will this clutch kit feel much different from the stock clutch?

Yes, expect a firmer pedal feel and a more direct engagement with this Stage 5 clutch. The multi-plate design and high clamping force are optimized for performance, which often results in a less forgiving engagement compared to a stock clutch.

About this part

Product Details

This is the SPEC Stage 5 clutch kit, designed for the 2006-2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata with the 2.0L 5-speed transmission, and also fits the 2006-2009 Ford Fusion with the 2.3L engine. If you're looking to handle significantly more power, especially if you've upgraded your engine with forced induction or other major modifications, this clutch is built to handle the extra torque and stress. It's a serious upgrade for performance-minded drivers who need a clutch that can keep up with their modified vehicle.

The Stage 5 kit features a sprung multi-plate design, which is crucial for managing the high torque capacity this clutch offers. This means it can handle a lot more power than a stock clutch without slipping. The sprung hub helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a high-performance clutch, making it a bit more manageable for daily driving, though it's still a performance-oriented setup. The kit includes a high-performance pressure plate and a carbon-carbon friction disc, known for its durability and consistent engagement under demanding conditions. This combination is what allows the clutch to handle extreme power levels.

When installing a clutch like this, it's important to have all the necessary supporting components ready. While this kit provides the core clutch components, you'll want to ensure your flywheel is in good condition or consider replacing it. It's also a good time to inspect your rear main seal and transmission input shaft seal. Because this is a performance clutch, expect a firmer pedal feel compared to stock, and engagement will be more direct. This kit is a solid choice for those pushing the limits of their vehicle's drivetrain and needing a clutch that won't let them down.
