About this part

Product Details

When you're looking to replace the clutch on your 1995-2000 Ford Contour with the 2.5L SVT engine, this SPEC Stage 1 clutch kit is a solid option. It includes a new clutch disc, a pressure plate, and a release bearing, giving you the essential components to get your drivetrain back in working order. This kit is designed to handle a bit more than the stock clutch, making it a good choice if you've made some mild performance upgrades or just want a more robust replacement.

The Stage 1 clutch disc features a well-built friction material that offers a strong engagement without being overly grabby, which is important for daily driving. The pressure plate is built to provide consistent clamping force, ensuring smooth power transfer. SPEC has designed this kit to fit right into your Contour, simplifying the installation process. You'll notice a firmer pedal feel compared to the original clutch, and it's rated to hold up to a certain increase in torque, making it suitable for drivers who push their cars a little harder.

This kit is a direct replacement for your stock clutch assembly. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, as proper break-in is crucial for clutch longevity. If you're working on a 1999-2001 Mercury Cougar or a 1995-2000 Mercury Mystique with the 2.5L engine, this kit will also fit those vehicles.
