About this part

Product Details

If you're pushing your 2008-2012 Volvo C30 L5 beyond its stock power limits, you're going to need a clutch that can keep up. This SPEC Stage 3 clutch kit is built to handle significantly more horsepower and torque than the original, making it a solid choice for modified performance Volvos. It's designed to provide a firm engagement that transfers power effectively, even under aggressive driving conditions.

At the heart of this kit is a high-performance clutch disc featuring a sprung hub for a bit of dampening, paired with a heavy-duty pressure plate. The disc material is chosen for its ability to withstand the heat generated by higher power levels. This combination offers a noticeable increase in clamping force over stock, ensuring that your engine's power gets to the wheels without slipping. While it's a performance upgrade, SPEC designs these kits to fit within the factory transmission bellhousing, simplifying the installation process compared to custom setups. You can expect a firmer pedal feel and a more direct engagement when you shift gears.

This kit includes the necessary components to replace your clutch system. It's important to have your flywheel resurfaced or replaced when installing a new clutch to ensure proper break-in and optimal performance. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for detailed procedures and break-in recommendations.
