Construction & Design

The SPEC Stage 1 Clutch Kit features a meticulously engineered organic friction lining bonded to a steel backing plate. This construction ensures consistent engagement and reliable performance over the clutch's lifespan. The clutch components are heat-treated to withstand the rigors of high clamp loads and elevated operating temperatures, which are common during spirited driving or mild modifications.

The sprung hub design incorporates double springs with reliefs, which help absorb engine vibrations and reduce driveline shock, resulting in a smoother pedal feel and improved comfort during daily use. The entire assembly is built with precision manufacturing techniques, including TIG welding and CNC machining, to guarantee a perfect fit and long-term durability.

Installation & Fitment

The clutch kit is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory clutch in the Mitsubishi Evo X (2008-2015). No cutting, drilling, or complex modifications are required during installation. Basic mechanical skills and standard tools are sufficient to complete the swap. It is recommended to replace the clutch release bearing and pilot bearing simultaneously to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Proper break-in procedures should be followed to maximize the lifespan of the new clutch components.

• Easy, bolt-on installation with no need for modifications.
