This kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It is highly recommended to also replace the pilot bearing and release bearing, which are typically sold separately, to ensure a complete and reliable installation.

What is the recommended break-in procedure for this clutch?

SPEC recommends a specific break-in procedure for their performance clutches to ensure longevity and optimal performance. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions included with the kit for the exact steps, which usually involve a period of light driving with specific acceleration and deceleration patterns.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your 2009-2012 Kia Forte with the 2.0L engine and a 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission, a Stage 2 clutch kit from SPEC is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a good choice if you've added modifications that increase engine output or if you simply want a more robust clutch for spirited driving.

The SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit features a high-performance friction material that offers a strong engagement and is built to withstand higher torque loads. It includes a sprung hub disc, which helps to dampen vibrations and reduce drivetrain shock, providing a smoother engagement than some other performance clutch designs. The pressure plate is engineered for increased clamping force, ensuring that the clutch can effectively transfer power to the transmission even under demanding conditions. This kit is a direct replacement for your factory clutch, meaning it's designed to fit right into your Forte's existing drivetrain components without requiring significant modifications.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to have all the necessary supporting components ready, such as a new pilot bearing and release bearing, which are often recommended to be replaced at the same time. A proper break-in procedure, as outlined by SPEC, is also crucial for ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of the new clutch disc. This kit is a significant upgrade for drivers who push their Forte's performance limits.
