What is the main difference between a Stage 3 clutch and a stock clutch?

A Stage 3 clutch, like this SPEC kit, is designed to handle significantly more torque and horsepower than a stock clutch. It uses a stronger pressure plate and a disc that can withstand higher loads, making it suitable for modified engines or demanding driving conditions.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This SPEC Stage 3 clutch kit includes the pressure plate, clutch disc, and release bearing. It's recommended to inspect and potentially resurface or replace your flywheel during installation, as this is not included in the kit.

How will this clutch feel compared to the original clutch in my Saab 9000?

You can expect a firmer pedal feel with a Stage 3 clutch due to the increased clamping force of the pressure plate. The sprung hub disc helps to mitigate some of the harshness, but it will generally be firmer and engage more decisively than the stock clutch.

Product Details

When you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 1995-1997 Saab 9000 with the 2.3L Turbo engine, this SPEC Stage 3 clutch kit is what you get. Inside the box, you'll find the pressure plate, the clutch disc, and the release bearing. This kit is put together to handle more power than the stock setup, making it a solid choice if you've modified your engine or plan to.

The Stage 3 clutch is built for a noticeable increase in holding capacity, which is important when you're putting down more torque. The pressure plate is designed to clamp the disc down with more force, ensuring that power gets to the transmission without slipping, even when you're driving hard. The clutch disc itself uses a sprung hub design, which helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration, making it a bit more manageable for daily driving compared to a solid hub setup. SPEC uses well-built components throughout this kit to ensure it holds up to the demands of a performance application.

Installing a clutch is a significant job, and this kit is designed as a direct replacement for your original clutch assembly. You'll want to make sure you have the necessary tools and potentially a helper, as the transmission will need to be removed to access the clutch. It's also a good time to inspect your flywheel for any damage or wear and consider resurfacing or replacing it if needed, as this will ensure the new clutch performs at its best and lasts longer. This kit is a comprehensive solution for anyone looking to improve their Saab 9000's drivetrain performance.
