What is a Stage 1 clutch?

A Stage 1 clutch is an upgraded clutch designed to hold more power than a stock clutch, but it's still suitable for daily driving. It typically uses a slightly more aggressive friction material and a stronger pressure plate to prevent slippage under increased load.

What else should I consider replacing when installing a new clutch?

It's highly recommended to inspect and potentially replace the flywheel, pilot bearing, and release bearing while the transmission is out for a clutch job. These components often wear out at a similar rate to the clutch and are much easier to service at the same time.

Does this clutch kit include a pilot bearing and release bearing?

This SPEC Stage 1 clutch kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It does not typically include the pilot bearing or release bearing, which are usually sold separately.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the clutch on your classic Volvo 122, 140, or 240, this Stage 1 clutch kit from SPEC is a solid option. It's designed to handle a bit more than the stock clutch, making it a good choice if you've added some mild performance upgrades or just want a more robust replacement for your 1.8L, 2.0L, or 2.1L engine.

This kit includes a new clutch disc and a pressure plate, both well-built to ensure reliable engagement and disengagement. The Stage 1 disc is designed for improved holding power over a factory unit, meaning it can handle a bit more torque without slipping. It's still street-friendly, so you won't have to deal with a grabby or uncomfortable pedal feel during everyday driving. SPEC has a good reputation for making durable drivetrain components, and this kit is no exception.

When you're doing a clutch job, it's a good time to inspect your flywheel for wear and consider replacing your pilot bearing and release bearing if they show signs of age. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the specified Volvo models, simplifying the installation process.
