Spec 85-87 Mercedes 190E 2.3L / 89-94 190E 2.5L Stage 2 Clutch Kit

This SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit for your 1986-1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3L is a well-built package designed to handle more power than the stock clutch. When you open the box, you'll find the clutch disc, a heavy-duty pressure plate, and a new release bearing. This kit is a solid option if you're looking to upgrade your drivetrain's ability to transfer power, especially if you've made other modifications to your engine.

The Stage 2 clutch uses a sprung hub disc, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch setup. This means you get a firmer engagement and better grip without the harshness you might expect from a solid hub design. The pressure plate is built to provide a strong clamping force, ensuring the clutch disc stays firmly engaged even under higher torque loads. This is important for maintaining smooth power delivery and preventing clutch slip when you're really putting your 190E to work.

Installing a clutch is a significant job, and it's a good time to inspect other drivetrain components like the flywheel and rear main seal. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully for best results. This kit is a direct replacement for your original clutch assembly, making the installation process as straightforward as possible, though it does require removing the transmission.
