Configuration Options
The SPEC Stage 4 Clutch Kit offers multiple puck configurations to balance engagement feel and drivability:
- 3-puck: Lightest option with quick engagement, ideal for racing applications where rapid clutch response is critical.
- 4-puck: A balanced choice offering a compromise between smoothness and aggressive engagement.
- 6-puck: Smoothest engagement and street-friendly option, though the rigid hub design may still feel firm for daily driving.
Construction & Design:
The Stage 4 clutch kit is built with a solid hub featuring eight rivets, significantly increasing the assembly’s structural integrity over previous stages. The entire clutch assembly undergoes heat treatment to enhance strength and durability, ensuring it can handle the rigors of high-performance driving. The carbon-graphite friction material provides excellent heat resistance and consistent engagement, reducing fade during extended use. The sprung hub design helps absorb drivetrain shocks, improving overall drivability and component longevity.
Installation & Fitment:
This clutch kit is a direct fit replacement for the 2007–2010 Scion tC and 2008–2015 Scion xB2 models. Installation requires standard clutch replacement procedures and may involve minor adjustments depending on the puck configuration chosen. Due to the solid hub design, the Stage 4 clutch is less forgiving than stock or lower-stage clutches, so professional installation and proper break-in are recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Ideal For:
The SPEC Stage 4 Clutch Kit is perfect for performance enthusiasts who demand a durable, high-torque clutch capable of handling aggressive driving styles.
