Spec 04-06 Lancer Ralliart 2.4L (non-turbo) Stage 2 Clutch Kit
SPEC SM882-2 is a Stage 2 clutch kit for the 2004-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart with the non-turbo 2.4L four. Owners usually land here when the factory clutch starts slipping after intake, header and tune work, when the engagement point has crept to the top of the pedal, or when the car shudders pulling away from a light. SPEC builds this kit with a Kevlar disc, so it raises holding power without giving up the easy street manners a daily Ralliart needs.
The Ralliart's 2.4L four is mounted transversely, so the clutch sits between the engine flywheel and the front-drive transaxle. The pressure plate clamps the disc against the flywheel, and that clamp has to hold every bit of torque the engine sends. When a tune or bolt-ons push torque past what the factory clutch was sized for, the disc slips, heats and glazes.
SPEC rates SM882-2 at 270 ft-lb of torque capacity, and the kit ships at 14 lb. On its product line page SPEC describes Stage 2 as a Kevlar disc with steel backing, built for excellent drivability, longer life and higher torque capacity, and lists it for street, drag, pulling and autocross use. Kevlar engages more progressively than a puck or ceramic disc, which keeps the Ralliart pleasant in traffic. If the car is heading toward a turbo kit, SPEC's Stage 2+ multi-friction disc adds 15 to 20 percent more capacity, and stronger ACT options are covered below.
First rule out hydraulics. Check the fluid level and condition, look for a weeping slave cylinder, and bleed the line, since air or a bad master causes drag and grinding that are easy to blame on the clutch. Then run a loaded test in fourth gear from low rpm at full throttle and watch the tach against the speedometer. Our clutch slipping guide walks through that test, and the high or low engagement guide helps separate a worn disc from a hydraulic fault.
SPEC lists SM882-2 for the Mitsubishi Lancer (non-turbo) 2.4L Ralliart, 2004 to 2006. SPEC does not list it for the 2.0L base Lancer, the turbocharged Lancer Evolution or the 2008-up Lancer, so do not order it for those cars. Some Ralliarts have been engine-swapped, so confirm the engine in your car and send us your year and VIN if you are unsure. ACT also makes clutches for this 2.4L car: the MR1-HDSS organic street kit and the MR1-HDG6 six-pad kit for higher power. A stock-replacement option is the Exedy MBK1007 OE kit.

No. SPEC lists it only for the 2004-2006 Lancer Ralliart with the non-turbo 2.4L. It is not listed for the Evolution, the 2.0L base car or the 2008-up Lancer.
SPEC rates SM882-2 at 270 ft-lb. For a turbocharged build, consider SPEC's Stage 2+ or the ACT MR1-HDG6, which ACT rates at 350 ft-lb.
Yes. SPEC describes Stage 2 as a steel-backed Kevlar disc with excellent drivability and longer life, and lists it for street use as well as drag and autocross.
Resurface or replace the flywheel, replace the release bearing, and check the fork, pivot and slave cylinder while the transaxle is out.
The clutch hydraulics share brake fluid. Use the DOT grade printed on your reservoir cap and bleed the system after the install.
