What is the primary benefit of a Stage 3 clutch kit over a stock clutch?

A Stage 3 clutch kit, like this one from SPEC, is designed to handle significantly more torque and power than a factory clutch. It uses higher-friction materials and a stronger pressure plate to prevent slippage when you've upgraded your engine's performance.

Does this clutch kit come with a new flywheel?

This SPEC clutch kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It is recommended to resurface or replace your existing flywheel when installing a new clutch to ensure proper engagement and longevity of the new components.

Is this clutch kit suitable for daily driving?

Yes, the Stage 3 kit features a sprung clutch disc which helps to dampen vibrations and reduce drivetrain shock, making it more comfortable for daily driving compared to some solid-hub performance clutches. However, it is a performance upgrade and may feel firmer than the original clutch.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your 1995-1997 Volvo 850 with the 2.4L turbo engine, especially if you've upgraded other components or plan to, a Stage 3 clutch kit from SPEC is a solid choice. This kit is built to handle increased power and torque, making it suitable for modified vehicles or those that see spirited driving. It's designed to replace your stock clutch and provide a more robust connection between your engine and drivetrain.

The Stage 3 kit features a high-performance sprung clutch disc paired with a performance pressure plate. The disc uses a high-friction material that offers excellent grab and durability under demanding conditions, while the sprung design helps to dampen vibrations and reduce drivetrain shock, making it more comfortable for daily driving than a solid hub disc. The pressure plate is engineered for increased clamping force, ensuring that the clutch can effectively transfer the engine's power without slipping, even when you're pushing your Volvo hard. This combination is a popular upgrade for drivers who have added turbo upgrades, performance exhaust, or engine tuning.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to resurface or replace your flywheel to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the new clutch components. While this kit is designed as a direct replacement for the stock clutch assembly, it's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and torque specifications. This kit excludes the T5R model, so be sure to verify your Volvo's exact trim and engine configuration before ordering.
