Competition Clutch 13-17 Ford Focus ST Full Face Organic Stage 2 Clutch Kit
The Competition Clutch 7248-2100 is the street-friendly upgrade for the 2013-2017 Ford Focus ST. If your ST has a tune, a bigger intercooler or an intake, and the factory clutch now flares in third or fourth as boost peaks, or the original disc is simply worn after years of hard launches, this Stage 2 kit adds holding power while keeping a full-face disc that engages smoothly in traffic.
The ST's 2.0-liter EcoBoost makes 252 hp and 270 lb-ft from the factory, and its torque arrives low, at about 2,500 rpm. That early, heavy torque is exactly what overwhelms a worn or stock clutch once a tune raises boost. Competition Clutch builds its Stage 2 2100 series for drivers moving from daily driving toward spirited and occasional track use: more clamp load and torque capacity than stock, but still manageable on the street. Catalog copy for this part number rates it at up to an 80 percent torque capacity increase.
The key difference from the bigger stages is the disc. This is a full-face design with a sprung hub, so the friction material covers the whole disc instead of separate pucks. That spreads heat and wear evenly and gives a progressive, stock-like take-up. Catalogs do not agree on the exact facing compound, so if that matters for your build, ask us before ordering and we will confirm it.
Picking a stage: if you plan big-turbo power, the Stage 3 segmented ceramic kit (7248-2600) holds more but grabs harder. If the car is stock and you just need a fresh clutch, the Exedy OE replacement kit is the closer match.
Log rpm, boost and vehicle speed on a fourth-gear pull from low rpm. If rpm rises faster than speed while boost hits target, the clutch is slipping; if boost is low, chase the leak first. Make sure the pedal returns fully and the hydraulics are not holding the clutch partly open, and check the bellhousing seam for oil. Our flare versus slip guide and the slipping diagnosis guide walk through what each feel means. The ST is manual only, so the PowerShift problems covered in our DPS6 guide do not apply to it.
Fits the 2013-2017 Ford Focus ST with the 2.0L EcoBoost and six-speed manual. Some catalogs extend this part number to the 2018 ST, the final model year; if you have a 2018, send us the VIN and we will confirm. It does not fit the regular Focus, the 2.3L Focus RS, or any car with the PowerShift automatic. Browse the rest of our ST clutch parts in the rebuild kits and clutch section.

Our listing covers 2013-2017. Some catalogs carry the same part number for 2018, the last ST year. Send us your VIN and we will confirm before you order.
Catalog copy rates this kit at up to an 80 percent torque capacity increase over stock. It suits tuned street cars; big-turbo builds should look at Stage 3 or Stage 4.
Close. The full-face sprung disc engages progressively and is meant for daily driving. Pedal effort is somewhat firmer than stock because of the higher clamp load.
Catalog listings disagree, and our title does not promise one. Ask us to confirm the contents before ordering. If you need a flywheel, we stock the FW-212-SF steel flywheel for the ST.
No. It is for the 2.0L EcoBoost Focus ST with the six-speed manual only. The 2.3L RS and the PowerShift automatic cars use different parts.
The clutch shares the brake fluid reservoir. Use the brake fluid grade printed on the reservoir cap and bleed the system after the transmission is reinstalled.
