What is the main benefit of a Stage 2 clutch kit over a stock clutch?

A Stage 2 clutch kit, like this SPEC SM492, is designed with upgraded materials and a higher clamping force. This allows it to handle significantly more engine torque and power than a factory clutch, making it ideal for modified vehicles or spirited driving.

Does this clutch kit come with everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the high-performance pressure plate and friction disc. However, it is recommended to resurface or replace your flywheel and to have a new pilot bearing and release bearing on hand, as these are often replaced during a clutch job but are not always included in the kit.

What is the break-in procedure for this SPEC clutch kit?

After installation, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure. This typically involves a series of gentle drives, avoiding hard acceleration or slipping the clutch, to properly seat the new clutch surfaces for optimal performance and longevity.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your 1987-1989 Chrysler Conquest or Mitsubishi Starion with the 2.6L engine, especially if you've added some performance upgrades, a Stage 2 clutch kit from SPEC is a solid choice. This kit is designed to handle increased power and torque, making it a popular option for drivers who want a more robust clutch setup than stock. It's built to provide a noticeable improvement in holding capacity, which is crucial when you're pushing your vehicle harder.

The SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit includes a high-performance pressure plate and a friction disc that's engineered for a good balance between engagement and durability. The disc features a sprung hub design, which helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a higher-performance clutch, contributing to a smoother engagement than you might expect. This means you get the benefit of increased holding power without sacrificing too much daily drivability. The pressure plate is well-built to ensure consistent clamping force, even under demanding conditions. This kit is a direct replacement for your original clutch, meaning it's designed to fit right into your existing drivetrain setup.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to resurface or replace your flywheel to ensure optimal performance and longevity. You'll also want to follow the manufacturer's break-in procedure, which typically involves a series of gentle drives to properly seat the new clutch surfaces. This process is key to getting the most out of your new SPEC clutch and ensuring it performs reliably for a long time.
