About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 1988-1991 BMW 325iX, this Stage 3 clutch kit from SPEC is a solid option. It's also designed to fit the 1985 BMW 524td and the 1989-1990 BMW 525i, giving you a few more applications where you can put this well-built kit to work. This kit is built to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for drivers who have modified their engines or plan to. The Stage 3 designation means it's designed for a significant increase in torque capacity, often paired with performance modifications.

SPEC uses a high-performance friction material for the clutch disc in this kit, which is known for its ability to handle higher temperatures and increased engagement forces. This translates to a clutch that can hold up better under demanding driving conditions, whether that's spirited street driving or track use. The kit includes the clutch disc, a pressure plate, and a release bearing, providing the essential components for a clutch replacement. While it's built for increased performance, it's still designed to offer a manageable engagement feel for daily driving, though it will be firmer than a stock clutch.

When installing this clutch kit, it's always a good idea to have a flywheel resurfaced or replaced to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding the process and any required tools.
