What is the main benefit of a Stage 2 clutch over a stock clutch?

A Stage 2 clutch, like this SPEC kit, is designed to handle higher torque loads than a factory clutch. This means it can better manage the power from performance modifications and offers a more direct engagement for spirited driving.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the high-clamp load pressure plate, the sprung hub carbon-metallic disc, and a new pilot bearing. It is recommended to also replace your flywheel or have it resurfaced, and inspect your rear main seal during installation.

Will this clutch kit make my pedal feel heavier?

Yes, performance clutch kits like this Stage 2 typically have a firmer pedal feel compared to a stock clutch. This is a common characteristic of higher-performance clutch systems designed for increased clamping force.

About this part

Product Details

This SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit, part number SC072-3, is built with a high-performance sprung hub disc featuring a carbon-metallic friction surface. This material choice is key for handling the increased demands of a performance-tuned 2.0L turbo engine found in the 2008-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Turbo and the 2008-2009 Chevrolet HHR SS Turbo. The sprung hub design helps absorb drivetrain shock, providing a smoother engagement than a solid hub disc, which is crucial for daily drivability even with a performance upgrade.

When you're pushing more power through your drivetrain, a stock clutch can quickly become a weak link. This Stage 2 kit from SPEC is designed to handle those higher torque loads, offering a more robust connection between your engine and transmission. The kit includes a high-clamp load pressure plate, the sprung hub carbon-metallic disc, and a new pilot bearing. While it offers improved engagement and holding capacity, it's important to note that a Stage 2 clutch typically has a slightly firmer pedal feel than a stock clutch, and engagement can be a bit more abrupt, especially during spirited driving. This is normal for a performance clutch and is a trade-off for its increased capability.

For installation, you'll want to ensure you have the necessary tools and a clean workspace. It's always a good idea to replace your rear main seal and inspect your flywheel while the transmission is out, as these are common maintenance items that are easily addressed during a clutch job. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding torque specifications and procedures to ensure a proper and long-lasting installation.
