Competition Clutch 91-96 Dodge Stealth Stage 3.5 - Steelback Brass Plus Clutch Kit
Competition Clutch 5048-2600 is a street/strip clutch kit for the 1991-1996 Dodge Stealth, and the maker lists the same part for the 1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT. It is aimed at the 6G72 V6 Stealth that has been modified past what the factory or a mild aftermarket disc can hold, and now slips on a hard pull, smells hot after a run, or has an engagement point that keeps climbing. If you are shopping for a stronger Stealth clutch that still drives on the street, this is that kind of kit.
Our listing title calls this a Stage 3.5 Steelback Brass Plus kit. Competition Clutch currently catalogs 5048-2600 as its Stage 3 Street/Strip kit with segmented ceramic friction facings, not a brass-faced disc. We describe it below the way the maker does. If you specifically want the full-face organic Stage 2 for this platform, look at 5048-2100 instead, and ask us before ordering if the facing type matters to you.
The Stealth mounts its 6G72 V6 sideways, with a single dry clutch between the flywheel and the manual transaxle. The pressure plate clamps the disc to the flywheel; pressing the pedal pushes the release bearing into the diaphragm and frees the disc. Competition Clutch rates its Stage 3 kits at up to a 150 percent increase in torque capacity over stock, using a performance pressure plate and segmented ceramic facings for quick but manageable engagement and long life. That makes it a step above an organic Stage 2 for a car with more power, while staying more streetable than a six-puck Stage 4 like 5048-1620.
On a car this age, check the hydraulics before blaming the disc. Inspect the master and slave cylinder for leaks, confirm the pedal returns fully, and bleed the line. Look for engine oil inside the bellhousing, since an oil-soaked disc will slip no matter how strong it is. Then do a high-gear, low-rpm full-throttle pull and watch for the tach jumping ahead of speed. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the road test, and the clutch chatter guide helps separate a flywheel problem from a worn disc.
This listing covers the 1991-1996 Dodge Stealth. Competition Clutch lists 5048-2600 for the 1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT and 1991-1996 Stealth, and also names the Eclipse. The Stealth was built with a SOHC V6, a DOHC V6 and a twin-turbo DOHC V6, in front-drive and all-wheel-drive form, with a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed from 1993 on. With that much variety, send us your year, trim and VIN before ordering and we will confirm the kit matches your car's drivetrain. Compare factory-style options such as the Exedy OE Stealth V6 kit, or browse the rebuild kits collection.
Per the maker's spec table: the performance pressure plate, one segmented ceramic disc, a throwout bearing, a pilot bushing and an alignment tool. A flywheel is not included.

Competition Clutch currently catalogs 5048-2600 as its Stage 3 Street/Strip kit with segmented ceramic friction facings. Our listing title uses an older Stage 3.5 name; the part number is what ships.
Competition Clutch lists 5048-2600 for the 1991-1996 Stealth and 1991-1999 3000GT without splitting the front-drive and all-wheel-drive cars. Because the Stealth came in several engine and drivetrain versions, send us your year, trim and VIN and we will confirm before it ships.
No. The kit includes the pressure plate, a segmented ceramic disc, a throwout bearing, a pilot bushing and an alignment tool. Resurface your flywheel or buy a steel flywheel with it.
Competition Clutch rates its Stage 3 kits at up to a 150 percent increase in torque capacity over stock.
Segmented ceramic engages faster than an organic disc and can chatter a little more, but the maker builds the Stage 3 for street and strip use. For a mostly stock daily driver, an organic Stage 2 or an OE-style kit is easier to live with.
