What is the main benefit of the sprung hub clutch disc?

The sprung hub design in the clutch disc helps to absorb torsional vibrations and shock from the drivetrain. This makes engagement smoother and can help protect other drivetrain components from excessive stress, especially when handling increased power.

What other parts should I consider replacing when installing this clutch kit?

It is highly recommended to replace the pilot bearing and the release bearing (throw-out bearing) when installing a new clutch. Inspecting and potentially resurfacing or replacing the flywheel is also crucial for proper clutch operation and longevity.

How does the pedal feel change with this Stage 3 clutch kit?

You can expect a firmer pedal feel compared to the stock clutch. This is due to the increased clamping force from the performance pressure plate, which is necessary to handle the higher torque capacity of the Stage 3 setup.

About this part

Product Details

The sprung hub design in this SPEC Stage 3 clutch disc is a key feature for the 86-90 Porsche 944 2.5L Turbo. This design helps absorb drivetrain shock, which is crucial for handling the increased torque and power that a Stage 3 setup is built for. It’s a well-built kit aimed at drivers who push their 944s harder than stock, whether that’s on the track or just spirited street driving.

This Stage 3 kit includes a performance pressure plate that offers a firmer pedal feel and increased clamping force compared to the original equipment. Paired with the sprung hub disc, it’s engineered to handle significantly more power than a standard clutch. The disc itself is designed for a good balance between engagement and holding power, making it suitable for demanding use without being overly abrupt for daily driving, though you will notice a firmer pedal. SPEC has a solid reputation for making durable drivetrain components, and this kit is no exception, using materials selected for longevity under stress.

When installing this kit, remember that a new pilot bearing and release bearing are highly recommended, and often necessary, to ensure smooth operation and prevent premature wear on your new clutch components. It’s also a good time to inspect your flywheel for any damage or warping, and resurfacing or replacing it might be needed for optimal performance and longevity. This SPEC clutch kit is a substantial upgrade for your 944 Turbo, providing the holding power and durability needed for performance driving.
