What is the main advantage of a Stage 2+ clutch kit over a stock clutch?

A Stage 2+ clutch kit, like this SPEC model, is built to handle substantially more torque and horsepower than a factory clutch. This is achieved through a higher clamping force pressure plate and a more robust clutch disc material, preventing slippage when you've upgraded your engine's performance.

Does this clutch kit include a new flywheel?

This SPEC Stage 2+ Clutch Kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It is recommended to inspect your existing flywheel for wear and heat spots; resurfacing or replacing it may be necessary for optimal performance and longevity, but a new flywheel is not included in this kit.

What is the benefit of a sprung hub clutch disc?

A sprung hub clutch disc has springs that help absorb torsional vibrations and shock loads. This design makes the clutch engagement smoother and can reduce drivetrain noise and harshness compared to a solid hub disc, making it more comfortable for daily driving even with its increased performance capabilities.

About this part

Product Details

This is the SPEC Stage 2+ Clutch Kit, specifically made for the 2012-2017 Fiat 500 Abarth with the 1.4T engine. If you're pushing more power than stock, whether it's from tuning, upgraded turbochargers, or other modifications, your factory clutch is likely struggling to keep up. This kit is designed to handle significantly more torque and horsepower, ensuring smooth engagement and reliable power transfer even under demanding conditions.

SPEC built this Stage 2+ kit with a high-performance sprung hub clutch disc. This means it's designed to absorb more shock and vibration than a solid hub disc, making it a bit more street-friendly while still offering a strong grip. The disc material is chosen for its durability and ability to handle the heat generated during spirited driving or track use. The pressure plate in this kit has a higher clamping force than the stock unit, which is crucial for preventing clutch slip when you're putting down serious power. This increased clamping force ensures that the clutch disc stays firmly engaged with the flywheel and pressure plate, allowing you to put your foot down with confidence.

When installing a clutch kit like this, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear or damage. If your flywheel is worn or has heat spots, resurfacing or replacing it is highly recommended for optimal clutch performance and longevity. This kit is a direct replacement for your stock clutch assembly, but it's engineered for vehicles that have had their performance enhanced. Make sure to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding torque specifications and break-in procedures.
