SPEC SF331-4 Stage 1 Clutch Kit for the 2012-2018 Ford Focus ST
The Spec SF331-4 is a Stage 1 clutch kit engineered for the 2012-2018 Ford Focus ST with the 2.0T EcoBoost engine. It replaces the factory clutch with a stronger, more durable street-oriented setup that holds up to 430 lb-ft of torque while retaining smooth, daily-drivable pedal feel. This kit is designed to be used exclusively with the Spec SF33A-4 billet flywheel (sold separately) and is not compatible with the stock flywheel or other Spec flywheels. It is the ideal upgrade for a lightly modified Focus ST that needs more clamping force than stock without sacrificing streetability.
Key Features
- Stage 1 non-ratcheting clutch kit for the 2012-2018 Ford Focus ST 2.0T EcoBoost
- Rated for up to 430 lb-ft of torque
- High-carbon organic friction disc for smooth engagement and long life
- Increased clamp-load pressure plate for improved holding power over stock
- Requires the Spec SF33A-4 billet flywheel; the stock dual-mass flywheel is not compatible

Installation Notes
The SF331-4 must be installed together with the Spec SF33A-4 billet flywheel. If your Focus ST still has its factory dual-mass flywheel, you must order the SF33A-4 separately and install both at the same time. Installation requires removal of the transaxle and is best performed by an experienced technician. Always inspect the release bearing, pilot bearing, and slave cylinder during installation and replace as needed. Bed the clutch in with 300-500 miles of moderate, no-slip driving before applying full power.
