About this part

Product Details

This SPEC Stage 3+ clutch kit features a high-performance sprung hub disc with a carbon-ceramic friction material, designed for vehicles making significant power increases. The sprung hub design helps absorb drivetrain shock, making it more streetable than a rigid hub disc, while the carbon-ceramic material offers excellent heat resistance and a high coefficient of friction for strong engagement. This kit is built to handle the demands of modified 1.8L engines found in vehicles like the 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse and 1990-1994 Plymouth Laser, as well as a range of other models including the Dodge Colt and Eagle Summit.

The Stage 3+ designation means this clutch is a step up from basic performance upgrades, offering a significant increase in torque capacity over stock. The carbon-ceramic friction material is a key component, providing the grip needed for spirited driving and higher horsepower applications without premature wear, provided it's properly broken in. This kit includes a high-clamp load pressure plate, a performance disc, and a pilot bearing, all engineered to work together for reliable power transfer. It's a solid option if you've upgraded your engine's performance and need a clutch that can keep up.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the friction materials. This typically involves a series of gentle starts and stops to properly seat the clutch disc. Ensure you have all the necessary supporting components, such as a new flywheel (if required by your application) and proper clutch alignment tools, before beginning the installation. This kit is a comprehensive solution for drivers looking to maximize their vehicle's drivetrain capability.
