What is the main difference between this Stage 2 clutch and the stock clutch?

This Stage 2 clutch offers increased torque capacity compared to your original clutch. It features a stronger pressure plate for higher clamping force and a sprung hub disc, which helps manage the engagement for a more robust feel suitable for modified engines or spirited driving.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. It is recommended to also have your flywheel resurfaced or replaced, and you may need alignment tools and other standard clutch replacement hardware, which are typically sold separately.

How will this clutch affect daily driving in my Kia Soul?

The sprung hub design in the clutch disc helps to absorb some of the engagement shock, making it more comfortable for daily driving than a solid-hub clutch. While it will feel firmer than stock, it's designed to be a manageable upgrade for everyday use.

About this part

Product Details

With this SPEC Stage 2 Clutch Kit, you're getting a complete package designed to handle more power than your stock clutch. Inside the box, you'll find the essential components: a high-performance clutch disc, a robust pressure plate, and a new release bearing. This kit is specifically put together for the 2009 through 2012 Kia Soul models equipped with the 1.6L engine, offering a direct replacement for your worn-out original parts.

The Stage 2 designation means this clutch is built for drivers who are pushing their Soul a bit harder, perhaps with some mild engine modifications or just looking for a more solid engagement. The clutch disc features a sprung hub design, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a stiffer clutch, making it more comfortable for daily driving than a solid-hub setup. The pressure plate is engineered to provide a stronger clamping force, ensuring that the clutch disc stays firmly engaged even when you're putting more torque through the drivetrain. This improved clamping force is key to preventing clutch slippage under load.

When you're ready to install this kit, remember that it's a direct replacement for your original clutch assembly. You'll want to ensure your flywheel is in good condition, either resurfaced or replaced, as a damaged flywheel can quickly wear out a new clutch. Having a helper can make the job easier, especially when aligning the clutch disc and pressure plate. This SPEC kit is a well-built option for Soul owners looking to upgrade their drivetrain's capability and feel.
