About this part

Product Details

This SPEC Stage 3 clutch kit is built around a 26-spline disc, designed for Mustangs with 5.0L or 5.8L engines from 1986-1995, and 4.6L engines from 1996-2001. It's a well-built option for drivers looking for more holding power than a stock clutch can offer, especially if you've made some modifications to your engine or drivetrain.

The Stage 3 setup typically includes a performance pressure plate and a disc that can handle increased torque. This kit is a solid choice for street use that also sees occasional track time or spirited driving. It aims to provide a noticeable improvement in clutch engagement and holding capacity without being overly grabby for daily driving, though some adjustment to your driving style may be needed.

When installing a performance clutch like this, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for wear and resurface or replace it if necessary. This ensures the new clutch mates up properly and performs as intended. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure after installation to get the most life and performance out of your new clutch.
