SPEC Clutch Kit for the 3SGTE Swap, 3sgte swap using the 5sfe tranny Options

[jcbass7]

I called Spec and ordered my clutch kit for the swap. They actually have a part number now for this set-up, the information is as follows:


Spec's tech phone number:

1-205-491-8581

I talked with Justin, who helped me out a ton, great guy to deal with.

his extension is 108


The part number for the clutch kit is:

ST6225S


The SECOND (2) in that part number is the number to reference what stage clutch you would like. I chose a stage two clutch, which i was told will hold 400 ft/lbs of torque.

If you wanted a stage 3 clutch the number would be as follows:

ST6235S

or a stage 1 (not recommended if you plan to add any power to the 3sgte) would be:

ST6215S

etc.
etc.



For reference this is what Lagos put together:

You need the

5fse - disk
5sfe - throwout bearing
5sfe - alignment tool
3sgte - pressure plate
3sgte - flywheel

The clutch kit includes all BUT the flywheel.

EDIT: The clutch kit they sell is basically a kit for the 3sgte that will bolt onto the 5sfe Tranny. It is the 3s disk with the 5s spline count


For a ballpark figure, i paid 389$ for the stage two clutch kit and after shipping a total of 413$


Hope this helps future swappers!

justin. i have a small issue thats been bothering me for some time

i was one of the 1st guys to get this hybrid kit from you guys. i ended up with the stage 3 6puck clutch with a normal presure plate. ive had it for about a year now and the clutch seems to hold well and do its job. the only problem i have is that at idle, ill often hear a rattle that goes away when the clutch is pressed in. any ideas on what could cause this and if it could turn into a bigger issue later on? i also found a few posts on mr2oc about other spec users hearing the same rattle.

the fly wheel was resurfaced and everything was installed and broken in correctly, btw.
