What is a Stage 2 clutch and how is it different from stock?

A Stage 2 clutch, like this SPEC kit, is designed to handle more power and torque than a factory clutch. It typically uses a more aggressive friction material and a stronger pressure plate to prevent slippage when you've upgraded your engine's output.

Does this clutch kit include a new flywheel?

This SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. It does not include a flywheel; you will need to reuse your existing flywheel or purchase one separately. It's recommended to have your flywheel resurfaced or replaced when installing a new clutch.

Will this clutch kit make my pedal harder to push?

Yes, Stage 2 performance clutches generally have a firmer pedal feel compared to stock clutches. This is due to the increased clamping force from the performance pressure plate, which helps ensure the clutch engages firmly under higher loads.

About this part

Product Details

When you're ready to upgrade your drivetrain, this SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit for your 1985-1987 Ford Bronco II or 1986 Ford Ranger is what you'll find in the box: the clutch disc, a performance pressure plate, and a release bearing. This kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a solid choice if you've added modifications like a turbocharger, supercharger, or made internal engine upgrades. It’s built to provide a firmer pedal feel and more positive engagement, which is what you want when you're putting down extra torque.

The Stage 2 clutch uses a performance-oriented friction material on the disc that offers a higher coefficient of friction compared to stock. This means it can grip the flywheel and pressure plate more effectively, transferring more of your engine's power to the transmission without slipping. The pressure plate is also beefed up to provide increased clamping force, ensuring that the disc stays firmly seated under load. While it offers improved performance, it's still designed for street drivability, though you'll notice a more direct connection between your foot and the drivetrain.

Installing a clutch is a significant job, often requiring the transmission to be removed. It's a good time to inspect your flywheel for wear and consider resurfacing or replacing it, as well as checking your pilot bearing and rear main seal. This SPEC kit is a well-built option for Bronco II and Ranger owners looking to reliably put down more power.
