Designed for high-performance applications and demanding fleet operations, the Clutch Masters FX500 System offers a significant increase in holding capacity—up to 400%—making it ideal for racing, heavy-duty use, and high torque scenarios. This complete clutch kit assembly includes our durable Power Plus II Pressure Plate paired with a solid center 6 or 8 Puck Ceramic Button disc or a Sintered Iron Disc, engineered for rapid heat dissipation and consistent engagement. The FX500 disc’s robust construction ensures reliable slip-free operation under extreme conditions, making it suitable for aftermarket upgrades or heavy-duty fleet vehicles running high horsepower and torque.
The system requires a conversion kit and must be installed with a specific flywheel compatible with your vehicle. Proper installation involves meticulous attention to mechanical linkage and pushrod alignment to prevent premature wear and ensure smooth operation. Our shop experience specializing in heavy-duty brakes and clutches since 1985 emphasizes verifying that the clutch assembly moves freely through its travel path without binding or unintentional contact, which is critical for long-term durability.
