What is the torque capacity of this SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit?

This SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit is designed to handle up to 500 lb-ft of torque. This makes it a suitable upgrade for vehicles with modified engines or those that require more holding power than the stock clutch can provide.

Does this clutch kit come with all the necessary parts for installation?

This kit includes the high-performance pressure plate and the sprung multi-clutch disc. It's recommended to inspect and potentially replace your flywheel, pilot bearing, and rear main seal during installation, as these are not always included but are critical for a successful clutch job.

Will this clutch kit feel significantly different from my stock clutch?

Yes, you can expect a firmer pedal feel with this Stage 2 clutch kit due to the high-performance pressure plate. The sprung hub on the clutch disc helps with engagement, but the overall feel will be more direct and robust compared to a factory clutch.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 1974-1979 Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, CJ5, CJ7, or J-series truck, this SPEC Stage 2 Clutch Kit (Part# SJ252) is a solid option. This kit is built to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it suitable for vehicles with modified engines or those that see heavier use. It's designed to manage up to 500 lb-ft of torque, giving you a notable improvement in holding power and engagement feel.

SPEC has put together a well-built package here. The Stage 2 kit includes a high-performance pressure plate that offers a firmer pedal feel, which is common with upgraded clutches. It also comes with a sprung, multi-clutch disc that uses a unique friction material designed for durability and consistent engagement. The sprung hub helps absorb some of the shock during engagement, making it a bit more streetable than a solid hub design, especially with the increased torque capacity. This kit is a direct replacement for your original clutch assembly, meaning it fits right without needing custom fabrication, though proper alignment and bleeding are always key steps in any clutch job.

When installing this clutch kit, it's a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any hot spots or warping and resurface or replace it if necessary. Also, consider replacing your pilot bearing and rear main seal while the transmission is out, as these are common maintenance items that are easily addressed during a clutch replacement. This SPEC Stage 2 kit is a popular choice for Jeep owners looking for a robust clutch that can handle their power upgrades and keep them moving.
