What is the main difference between this Stage 3+ clutch and a stock clutch?

This Stage 3+ clutch kit offers significantly higher torque capacity compared to the stock clutch, making it suitable for modified engines. It also features a sprung disc for better vibration absorption and a pressure plate with increased clamping force for more positive engagement.

Do I need to replace my flywheel when installing this clutch kit?

While this kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate, it's highly recommended to inspect your flywheel. If the flywheel shows signs of wear, glazing, or heat spots, it should be resurfaced or replaced to ensure proper clutch operation and longevity.

What else might I need to complete the clutch installation?

Besides the clutch kit itself, you will need appropriate tools for clutch replacement, a service manual for your specific Mustang model for torque specifications and procedures, and potentially new flywheel bolts. It's also a good time to consider replacing the rear main seal and pilot bearing if applicable.

About this part

Product Details

If you're pushing your 2015-2017 Ford Mustang 2.3T EcoBoost beyond its factory limits, especially with significant power upgrades, you're likely going to need a clutch that can handle the extra torque. This SPEC Stage 3+ clutch kit is built to manage those higher horsepower and torque demands, offering a solid engagement for spirited driving and track use without being overly grabby for daily driving. It's a well-built upgrade designed to keep your drivetrain connected when you're putting down serious power.

This Stage 3+ kit features a high-performance sprung clutch disc paired with a robust pressure plate. The sprung hub on the disc helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch, making it a bit more manageable on the street than a solid hub design. The pressure plate is engineered for increased clamping force, ensuring that the clutch disc stays firmly engaged under load. This combination is a popular choice for Mustangs that have seen modifications like larger turbochargers, upgraded fuel systems, and performance tuning, where the stock clutch simply won't hold.

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 it's worn or has heat spots, resurfacing or replacing it is recommended for optimal clutch performance and longevity. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process. You'll want to ensure you have the necessary tools and a service manual for your Mustang to follow the correct procedures for removal and installation, including proper torque specifications for the pressure plate bolts.
