What is the purpose of a sprung hub clutch disc?

A sprung hub clutch disc incorporates springs within the hub assembly. These springs help to absorb torsional vibrations and shock loads during engagement and disengagement, which can lead to a smoother feel and reduce drivetrain stress, especially with higher-powered applications.

Does this clutch kit include a new flywheel?

This SPEC Stage 4 clutch kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It does not include a new flywheel. It is recommended to have your existing flywheel resurfaced or replaced to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the new clutch.

What is the recommended break-in procedure for this clutch?

SPEC recommends a specific break-in procedure for their performance clutches to ensure proper mating of the friction surfaces. You should refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions included with the kit for the exact steps, which typically involve a period of moderate driving without hard acceleration or slipping.

About this part

Product Details

The SPEC Stage 4 clutch kit for your 1983-1988 Porsche 944, 1985-1988 924S, and 1987-1988 944S features a sprung hub disc and a heavy-duty pressure plate. This setup is built to handle significantly more power than the stock clutch, making it a solid choice for modified vehicles or those that see frequent track use. The sprung hub design helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that comes with a higher-engagement clutch, offering a slightly more manageable feel compared to a rigid hub, especially in a performance application.

This Stage 4 kit uses a high-performance friction material on the disc, designed for aggressive engagement and excellent heat dissipation under demanding conditions. The heavy-duty pressure plate offers increased clamping force, ensuring that the clutch can effectively transfer power without slipping, even when dealing with substantial horsepower increases. When installing a clutch kit of this caliber, it's important to ensure your flywheel is in good condition, either resurfaced or replaced, as this is critical for proper clutch operation and longevity. You'll also want to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure to allow the new friction surfaces to mate properly.

This SPEC clutch kit is a comprehensive solution for drivers looking to upgrade their drivetrain's capability. It's designed to be a direct replacement for your original clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process. Remember to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for specific details on break-in periods and any special procedures recommended for this high-performance clutch.
