Spec 68-78 Mercedes Benz 220 2.2L / 68-83 240D 2.4L Stage 1 Clutch Kit

This SPEC Stage 1 clutch kit includes a new clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing, giving you the essential components to replace your worn-out clutch system. It's designed specifically for the 1968-1973 Mercedes-Benz 220 with its 2.2L engine and the 1974-1983 Mercedes-Benz 240D with its 2.4L diesel engine. This kit aims to provide a noticeable improvement in clutch engagement compared to a stock unit.

The Stage 1 clutch is a well-built option for drivers who want a more responsive feel from their clutch pedal without sacrificing everyday drivability. It's engineered to handle moderate increases in torque and horsepower, making it a solid choice for vehicles that might see occasional spirited driving or are used for towing. The components are made to work together for smooth operation and reliable performance.

When replacing your clutch, it's a good time to inspect your flywheel for any damage or warping. You may also want to consider replacing the pilot bearing and rear main seal while the transmission is out, as these are common maintenance items that are easily accessible during a clutch job.
