Spec 95-97 Volvo 850 2.4L Turbo excluding T5R Stage 2 Clutch Kit

This is the SPEC Stage 2 Clutch Kit, designed specifically for the 1995 through 1997 Volvo 850 models equipped with the 2.4L turbo engine, excluding the T5R variant. If you're looking to handle more power or simply want a more robust clutch for your performance-oriented Volvo, this kit is a solid choice. It's built to manage increased torque and horsepower, making it suitable for drivers who have modified their engines or plan to.

The Stage 2 kit includes a performance pressure plate and a high-performance friction disc. The pressure plate offers increased clamping force over the stock unit, ensuring that the clutch disc stays firmly engaged even under higher loads. The friction disc in this kit features a sprung hub design, which helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch setup, contributing to a more comfortable driving experience than a solid hub disc might offer. This combination is well-suited for street performance and occasional track use, providing a noticeable improvement in engagement and power handling capability.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure that the flywheel is resurfaced or replaced to provide a clean and flat mating surface for the new clutch components. Proper break-in is also crucial for the longevity and performance of the clutch. Follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure, which typically involves a series of gentle accelerations and decelerations without aggressive shifting or heavy loads. This allows the new friction materials to properly bed in with the pressure plate and flywheel.
