Spec 09-12 Kia Soul 1.6L Stage 2+ Clutch Kit

This SPEC Stage 2+ clutch kit is specifically made for the 2010 through 2012 Kia Soul models equipped with the 1.6L engine. If you've made some modifications to your Soul, like a cold air intake or a performance exhaust, and you're finding that the stock clutch just can't handle the extra power anymore, this kit is designed to give you the engagement and holding power you need. It's a step up from a basic replacement, built to handle more torque than the original equipment.

Inside this kit, you'll find a performance pressure plate that offers a firmer pedal feel, which translates to more direct engagement when you shift gears. Paired with that is a high-performance clutch disc featuring a sprung hub design. The sprung hub helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that comes with a more aggressive clutch, making it a bit more streetable than a solid hub design. The friction material used is a carbon-kevlar blend, known for its durability and ability to withstand higher temperatures generated during spirited driving or when towing. This combination is what allows the kit to handle increased torque output, making it a solid option for Souls that have seen some performance upgrades.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure your flywheel is in good condition. If it shows signs of glazing or excessive wear, resurfacing or replacing it is highly recommended for optimal performance and longevity of the new clutch. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, meaning it fits right into the existing drivetrain components. Remember to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully for the best results.
