SPEC Clutch Kit Stage 2+ 96/01 MUSTANG GT Part# SF483H

SPEC Stage 2+ Clutch Kit for 1996-2001 Mustang
Cobra.
For all modified engines making more torque than the Stage 2 can
support. Maintains Stage 2 feel for good daily drivability and offers very good
wear characteristics, but provides a higher torque capacity.
Includes
high clamp pressure plate, composite multi-friction carbon-Kevlar material, high
torque sprung hub and disc assembly, bearing and tool kit.
TORQUE RATING 620
SPEC Stage 3 Clutch Kit for 96-01 Mustang Cobra Part# SF483

For heavily modified street and race engines. Offers sufficient daily
drivability with a comfortable pedal feel and quick engagement. Offers good wear
characteristics under low and high stress usage.
High clamp pressure
plate, 4 or 6 puck carbon semi-metallic friction with high torque sprung hub and
disc assembly, bearing and tool kit. 6 puck is standard on most applications,
but 4 puck can be specified when ordering.
TORQUE RATING 680
SPEC Stage 3+ Clutch Kit for 1996-2001 Mustang GT Part# SF483F

For heavily modified street and race engines making more torque than the st3 can
support. Offers good daily drivability and better manageability than the stage
3, with even better wear characteristics.
High clamp pressure plate,
full-faced carbon metallic friction, high torque sprung hub and disc assembly,
bearing and tool kit.
TORQUE RATING 800
SPEC Stage 4 Clutch kit for 1996-2001 Ford Mustang GT Part# SF484

For heavily modified engines or engines of any modification level being used in
the above driving environments, where an instantaneous engagement and light
weight are beneficial. Not street-friendly due to harsh engagement.
High
clamp pressure plate, 3,4 or 6 puck carbon semi-metallic friction with high
torque rigid hub and carrier assembly, bearing and tool kit.
TORQUE RATING 680
SPEC Stage 5 Clutch Kit for 1996-2001 Ford Mustang GT Part# SF485

For extremely modified drag race and pulling engines, or applications that call
for a slipper clutch/progressive torque-induced engagement. These clutches are
best ordered as custom configured and should be ordered after providing specific
information about the car and it’s purpose to a SPEC technical assistant. Not
street-friendly due to harsh engagement.
High clamp pressure plate
(adjustability available on some applications), rigid iron disc assembly,
bearing and tool kit.
TORQUE RATING 1100
SPEC Steel and Aluminum Flywheel for 1996-1998 and 2000-2004 Mustang GT
Steel Flywheel Part# SF64S and Aluminum Flywheel Part# SF64A

Firstly, the flywheel should provide a consistent and friction enhancing surface
for the clutch disc.
Flywheels also aid in proper inertia, which is
determined by the flywheel weight. Inertia controls the ratio of power to
acceleration and can make a vehicle faster or slower based on gear ratio, tire
type, vehicle weight, power output and even the location in the powerband output
is achieved. The weight of a flywheel and amount of inertia it provides can also
effect drivability.
Lastly, the flywheel must provide a true balance at rpm,
which means no dimensional runout that produces engine damaging and power
robbing vibrations and allows smooth engine revolutions.
SPEC flywheels
are CNC manufactured at an unheard-of .001 tolerance, in an industry where the
standard is .010. This precision manufacturing process ensures perfect balance
and a perfectly flat bedding surface for the clutch disc, both of which also
contribute to the ultimate in safety for competitive environments. All SPEC
flywheels carry SFI certification. (sfi link)
To allow for specific
inertia needs, SPEC flywheels are made in high carbon billet steel and aircraft
quality billet aluminum. The aluminum and most steel SPEC units are rebuildable
and feature a replaceable steel friction plate that is made from a friction-
enhancing steel metal specially formulated for optimum clutch bedding and
holding power. The aluminum and steel materials provide a light and medium
weight option for all types of racing. SPEC spends a lot of time and effort on
research and development of optimum flywheel dimensions and weights for all
types of driving and racing and can optimize your MOI (moment of inertia) to
maximize your car's output and performance.
