About this part

Product Details

The clutch disc in this SPEC Stage 1 kit uses a high-performance friction material that's built to handle more torque than the factory setup. This is a solid option if you're looking to replace your worn-out clutch and want a bit more grip for spirited driving or if you've added some mild modifications to your 2008-2013 Scion xB with the 1.8L engine.

SPEC designs these kits with a focus on drivability, meaning you shouldn't expect a grabby or difficult-to-manage pedal. The included pressure plate is well-built to ensure consistent clamping force, and the kit comes with a pilot bearing and alignment tool, which are crucial for a smooth installation. This setup offers an improved engagement feel over stock without making your daily commute a chore.

When you're replacing your clutch, it's a good time to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear or damage. If it's glazed or has hot spots, resurfacing or replacing it will ensure your new clutch performs its best and lasts longer.
