• Sprung hub (application dependent) with double-sprung design and spring cover relieves for improved flexibility, reducing driveline shock and enhancing smoothness during engagement.
• Heat-treated components and high-quality materials ensure durability and resistance to thermal stress, extending the lifespan of the clutch assembly.
• Precision engineering and manufacturing ensure proper fitment and reliable performance, with components designed specifically for your vehicle's transmission system.
• Enhanced pedal feel and engagement characteristics provide a confident driving experience without excessive pedal effort.
• Suitable for street use, spirited driving, and light track days, offering a balanced combination of performance and daily drivability.

Construction & Design

The SPEC Stage 2+ Clutch Kit features a robust construction designed for durability and consistent performance. The multi-friction disc utilizes a full-faced design with a combination of carbon semi-metallic and Kevlar materials, which helps manage heat and provides excellent grip. The pressure plate is engineered with high-strength steel and heat-treated components to withstand increased torque loads. The assembly's precise machining and assembly ensure proper alignment and smooth operation, minimizing chatter and slip.

The sprung hub design, depending on application, absorbs torsional vibrations and shock loads, resulting in a smoother engagement and extended component life. The kit's components are engineered to work together seamlessly, providing a reliable upgrade that maintains factory-like pedal feel while supporting higher power levels.

Installation & Fitment

The SPEC Stage 2+ Clutch Kit is a bolt-on upgrade designed for direct replacement of your factory clutch components. Installation typically involves removing the transmission to access the clutch assembly, and it is recommended to replace the release bearing and pilot bearing during installation for optimal performance and longevity. No cutting, drilling, or modifications are required, making it a straightforward upgrade for experienced DIY enthusiasts or professional mechanics.

• Designed specifically for 1990-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and Plymouth Laser with 2.0L turbo engines.
• Compatible with manual transmissions and factory flywheels, or aftermarket flywheels designed for performance applications.
• Proper break-in procedures are recommended to ensure maximum performance and longevity of the new clutch components.
