1996-1999 BMW 328i & 328is Heavy-Duty Clutch Kit Assembly – FX400 Street & Race Performance Upgrade

The Clutch Masters FX400 Heavy-Duty Clutch Kit is engineered for high-performance street driving and competitive racing applications for BMW 328i and 328is models from 1996 to 1999. Featuring a heavy-duty pressure plate with a 170% increase in holding capacity, this clutch system ensures exceptional torque transfer and durability under demanding conditions. The high-leverage, sprung ceramic disc design provides a smooth engagement experience, dampening shock loads and reducing wear on internal components, making it ideal for both street and road/drag racing scenarios. The kit’s configuration options include a 6-puck aggressive setup for maximum grip and an 8-puck less aggressive option, allowing for tailored performance based on driving needs. Its robust construction and rapid heat dissipation capabilities extend clutch lifespan and improve reliability during high-stress operation.
The clutch kit is designed to work seamlessly with single-mass flywheels built to OEM specifications, ensuring optimal fitment and performance. Its sprung hub design offers moderate dampening, making it more street-friendly compared to rigid or solid designs, and providing a smoother driving experience. This clutch assembly is a premium upgrade for enthusiasts seeking increased holding capacity and improved heat management without sacrificing drivability on the street. Proper installation requires attention to mechanical linkage, pushrod alignment, and ensuring a straight, unbinding travel path to prevent premature wear or binding on internal components. Our shop experience specializing in heavy-duty brakes and drivetrains since 1985 informs the critical importance of these installation steps for long-term reliability.
Designed for high-performance applications and demanding fleet operations, this clutch kit provides a reliable, long-lasting upgrade to meet the needs of both street-driven and race-ready BMW vehicles.
