Spec 1980 Toyota 3TC 1.8L Stage 5 Clutch Disc *Replacement Disc ONLY*

The SPEC Stage 5 clutch disc for your 1980-1985 Toyota Corolla features a sprung hub design, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can occur with aggressive clutch engagement. This is a replacement disc only, meaning it's designed to work with your existing clutch pressure plate and flywheel, assuming they are in good condition. This disc is built for high-performance applications where you need a clutch that can handle more power and abuse than a stock unit.

This Stage 5 disc uses a carbon-ceramic friction material, known for its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and provide a very strong engagement. This material choice is crucial for applications where the clutch will be subjected to repeated hard use, such as track events or spirited driving. The sprung hub design helps to protect your drivetrain components from the harsher engagement characteristics of this type of friction material, making it a more robust choice for modified engines. It's important to note that this is a performance clutch disc, and engagement will be more abrupt than a stock clutch. Proper break-in procedures, as recommended by SPEC, should be followed to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

When installing this replacement disc, ensure your pressure plate and flywheel are in excellent condition. Any issues with these components can affect the performance and lifespan of the new clutch disc. It's also recommended 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. This SPEC clutch disc is a solid option if you're looking to upgrade your Corolla's drivetrain to handle increased power or simply want a more durable clutch for demanding use.
