The Clutch Masters FX350 Clutch Kit is engineered for high-performance street and race applications, offering a 110% increase in holding capacity with a heavy-duty pressure plate featuring our innovative Fiber-Tough friction material. Designed specifically for the BMW 540i E39 model years from 1997 to 2004, this clutch provides a significant upgrade over stock components, delivering exceptional durability and engagement for highly tuned engines, turbocharged setups, or nitrous oxide applications up to 100hp. Its robust construction ensures reliable performance during spirited driving or track days, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts demanding both longevity and aggressive engagement.
Constructed to work exclusively with Clutch Masters’ 267mm flywheel, this conversion kit is not compatible with OEM flywheels. The FX350 system balances increased holding power with a manageable level of chatter, making it suitable for drivers who push their vehicles but still require smooth operation for daily driving. The clutch’s high-friction material and heavy-duty pressure plate enable it to withstand the stresses of high horsepower and torque, ensuring consistent performance over extended use. Whether used for street, autocross, or track racing, this clutch kit is a premium upgrade designed to meet the demanding needs of professional and hobbyist drivers alike.
Installation requires careful attention to mechanical linkage, proper pushrod alignment, and verification of a straight, unbinding travel path to prevent premature wear or clutch binding. Our shop experience specializing in heavy-duty brakes and driveline components since 1985 informs our advice: always inspect the clutch engagement system thoroughly during installation to maximize lifespan and performance.
