What is the main benefit of a Stage 3 clutch kit?

A Stage 3 clutch kit is designed to handle significantly more power than a stock clutch. It uses a high-performance friction material and a stronger pressure plate to ensure power is transferred effectively, especially if you have engine modifications.

Does this clutch kit come with a new flywheel?

This clutch kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It is recommended to have your existing flywheel resurfaced or replaced to ensure proper clutch engagement and longevity.

Will this clutch kit make my clutch pedal harder to press?

Yes, Stage 3 performance clutches typically have a firmer pedal feel compared to stock. This is due to the stronger pressure plate required to clamp the higher-performance friction disc.

About this part

Product Details

SPEC is known for making well-built drivetrain components, and this Stage 3 clutch kit is no exception. If you're looking to handle more power or just want a more robust clutch for your 1991-1997 BMW 318is, 1996-1999 318ti, or 1996-1998 Z3 with the 1.9L engine, this kit is a solid option.

This Stage 3 clutch is designed for drivers who need a clutch that can handle significant power increases, whether from engine modifications or just wanting a stronger setup. It features a high-performance friction material that offers a strong grip, ensuring power gets to the wheels effectively. The kit includes a performance pressure plate that works with the friction disc to provide consistent engagement, even under demanding conditions. Because it's a Stage 3, expect a firmer pedal feel compared to stock, which is typical for clutches designed to hold more torque.

When installing a performance clutch like this, it's a good idea to have the flywheel resurfaced or replaced to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This kit is a direct replacement for the stock clutch assembly, making the installation process straightforward for a qualified mechanic.
