About this part

Product Details

This is the SPEC Stage 5 Clutch Kit, designed for high-performance applications on select BMW models including the 2011-2013 335i, 2011-2016 535i, and 2012-2017 335i (F30 chassis). This clutch kit is built to handle significantly more power and torque than the factory clutch, making it a solid choice for modified vehicles or those that see demanding use.

The Stage 5 kit features a sprung, multi-plate design, which helps to absorb shock and vibration, providing a more manageable engagement for such a high-capacity clutch. The multi-plate setup increases the surface area for engagement, allowing it to dissipate heat more effectively and handle the extreme forces associated with high horsepower and torque. This kit is specifically engineered for vehicles that have undergone substantial modifications, such as turbo upgrades, engine tuning, and other performance enhancements. It’s important to note that this clutch kit requires a specific flywheel, either the SB55S-2 or SB55A-2, which must be purchased separately to complete the installation. Proper installation and break-in procedures are crucial for the longevity and performance of this clutch system.

When installing this clutch kit, ensure you have the correct flywheel and follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure. This typically involves a period of light driving without hard acceleration or lugging the engine to allow the clutch surfaces to properly mate. This kit is a serious upgrade for BMW owners looking to maximize their vehicle's drivetrain capability.
