Its a term used by parts manufactures to represent different levels within THEIR OWN line. "Stages" have no uniform meaning across manufacture lines. For example, a Clutchmasters Stage 3 clutch is similar to a Spec Stage 2 in terms of torque holding capacity, design components, etc.

A higher stage clutch "should" hold more power etc than a lower stage one, but a higher stage clutch will catch a lot quicker and "harsh" compared to a lower stage. Most people only go up to a stage 3 in a street car, otherwise it is difficult to drive daily.
ie/ most 3s swaps use a 2nd or 3rd stage clutch. I have a spec stage 2 etc. but its like Jay said, each company has a different standard for their "stages" |
