The Clutch Masters FX400 Clutch Kit is engineered for high-performance street driving and aggressive track use, offering a 170% increase in holding capacity compared to stock clutch systems. Designed specifically for BMW 540i models from 1997 to 2003 with a 4.4L engine, this kit features a heavy-duty pressure plate with high leverage and a custom sprung ceramic disk. The sprung hub design provides moderate dampening for smoother engagement and reduces stress on driveline components, making it suitable for both street and racing applications. The ceramic puck configuration, available in 6 or 8 puck setups, delivers exceptional heat dissipation and long service life, ensuring reliable performance during demanding conditions. This upgrade is ideal for enthusiasts seeking increased torque capacity and durability without sacrificing street drivability, thanks to its dampened hub design.
The kit is designed to work exclusively with Clutch Masters 267mm flywheels, providing a precise fit for your vehicle’s drivetrain. Installation should be performed by experienced technicians familiar with high-performance clutch systems. Proper alignment of the clutch assembly and checking for smooth, unbinding travel during installation are critical steps to prevent premature wear or internal component binding. Our shop experience specializing in heavy-duty brakes and clutch systems since 1985 informs our recommendation for meticulous installation and system verification to ensure optimal operation.
For fleet operators and performance enthusiasts, this clutch kit offers robust reliability and consistent power transfer, making it an excellent choice for demanding road and track environments.
