What is the main benefit of the multi-plate design in this clutch?

The multi-plate design significantly increases the clutch's surface area. This allows for better heat dissipation and the ability to handle much higher torque loads compared to a single-plate clutch, which is essential for modified vehicles.

Will this clutch kit include a new flywheel?

This clutch kit typically includes the pressure plate and clutch disc. It is recommended to resurface or replace your existing flywheel during installation to ensure optimal clutch performance and longevity.

How does the sprung hub design affect driving feel?

The sprung hub in the clutch disc helps to absorb torsional vibrations and shock from the engine. This results in a smoother engagement and a more comfortable pedal feel, especially in a high-performance application like this Stage 2+ kit.

About this part

Product Details

The SPEC Stage 2+ clutch kit for the Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4T features a high-performance sprung hub design, which helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch setup. This particular kit is built to handle significantly more torque and horsepower than the factory clutch, making it a solid choice for Abarths that have been modified with upgraded turbochargers, engine tuning, or other performance enhancements. It’s designed to provide a firm engagement that can hold up under demanding driving conditions without being overly abrupt for daily use.

This Stage 2+ clutch uses a high-clamp load pressure plate paired with a carbon-sprung multi-plate disc. The multi-plate design increases the surface area for engagement, allowing it to dissipate heat more effectively and handle higher torque loads. The sprung hub in the disc is crucial for reducing drivetrain shock, offering a more comfortable pedal feel and extending the life of other drivetrain components compared to a solid hub design in a high-performance application. SPEC has engineered this kit to be a direct replacement for the stock clutch, simplifying the installation process.

When installing this clutch, it's important to resurface or replace the flywheel to ensure proper clutch engagement and longevity. While this kit is designed for increased performance, it's still a well-built component intended for use in modified vehicles. You can expect a firmer pedal feel than stock, which is typical for performance clutches, and a more direct connection to the engine's power output. This kit is a popular option for Abarth owners looking to push their car's performance further.
