What is the main benefit of a Stage 5 clutch kit?

A Stage 5 clutch kit, like this SPEC SB365, is designed to handle significantly more torque than a stock clutch. This makes it ideal for modified engines or for drivers who frequently engage in high-performance driving where clutch slip could otherwise occur.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This SPEC Stage 5 clutch kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and pilot bearing. It is recommended to also have a new flywheel or have your existing one resurfaced, and potentially a new rear main seal and throw-out bearing, though these are not included in the kit.

How does the multi-plate design affect driving feel?

The multi-plate design in this SPEC clutch helps to distribute the clamping force over a larger area, which can contribute to a smoother engagement compared to some single-plate performance clutches. The sprung hub on the disc also aids in absorbing drivetrain shock.

About this part

Product Details

This SPEC Stage 5 clutch kit includes a high-performance clutch disc, a heavy-duty pressure plate, and a pilot bearing. It's built to handle the demands of your 1987-1988 BMW M6 with the 3.6L engine, offering a significant upgrade over the stock clutch for improved torque capacity and engagement.

The Stage 5 clutch is designed for drivers who push their vehicles hard, whether that's on the track or during spirited street driving. It features a sprung, multi-plate disc construction, which helps to absorb shock and vibration, making it more manageable than some other high-performance options. The pressure plate is engineered for increased clamping force, ensuring that the clutch can reliably transfer power even under high load conditions. This combination is crucial for preventing clutch slip when you're demanding maximum performance from your M6.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. You'll want to ensure the flywheel is properly resurfaced or replaced, and that all mating surfaces are clean. While this kit is designed for a direct fit on the specified BMW models, it's always a good idea to have the necessary tools and potentially a helper on hand, as clutch replacement is a moderately involved job. This SPEC clutch kit is a solid option for anyone looking to significantly enhance their BMW's drivetrain capability.
