Spec 12-17 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4T Stage 1 Clutch Kit

If you're looking to replace the clutch on your 2012-2017 Fiat 500 Abarth and want a bit more grip than stock, this SPEC Stage 1 clutch kit is a solid option. It's designed to handle the power from the 1.4T engine while still being manageable for daily driving. This kit is a good step up if you're pushing a little more boost or just want a clutch that feels more connected to the drivetrain.

This Stage 1 kit uses a sprung, multi-plate disc with a high-performance friction material. The springs in the disc help absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a performance clutch, making it feel more comfortable for everyday use compared to a solid-hub design. The pressure plate is engineered to provide increased clamping force over the factory unit, ensuring that the clutch can hold the power without slipping. SPEC is known for making well-built clutch components, and this kit is no exception. It's a popular choice for Abarth owners who want improved performance without sacrificing too much drivability.

When you're installing a new clutch, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear or damage. If it's warped or has deep grooves, resurfacing or replacing it is recommended for optimal clutch performance and longevity. This kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. You'll typically want to replace your pilot bearing and throw-out bearing at the same time, as these are wear items that are easily accessible during a clutch job.
