The Clutch Masters FX400 Heavy-Duty Race and Street Clutch Kit is engineered for maximum performance in high-torque applications, making it ideal for both demanding street driving and competitive racing environments. Featuring a Power Plus I, Hi-Leverage, heavy-duty pressure plate, this system provides a 170% increase in holding capacity, ensuring reliable power transfer even under extreme conditions. The kit includes a custom, durable sprung ceramic disc designed for long-lasting performance, rapid heat dissipation, and consistent engagement. Available in 6 or 8-puck configurations, the 8-puck setup offers a less aggressive feel suitable for daily driving while maintaining race-level strength.
The sprung hub design offers moderate dampening, reducing shock loads and increasing drivability on the street. This clutch system is compatible with single-mass flywheels built to OEM specifications, providing seamless integration with your vehicle’s drivetrain. Note that this system is not suitable for vehicles equipped with dual-mass flywheels or 228mm dual-mass units. Designed specifically for vehicles such as the 2005 Volkswagen Passat and 1999-2003 Audi A4, this clutch kit delivers exceptional torque capacity of up to 350 ft/lbs, making it perfect for high-performance applications.
Installation requires careful attention to the mechanical linkage and pushrod alignment, which are critical for optimal operation and longevity. Our shop experience specializing in heavy-duty brakes and drivetrains since 1985 emphasizes the importance of verifying system specifications before installation. Ensure the clutch assembly travels straight and unbound to prevent premature wear or internal binding, securing maximum operational reliability and fleet durability.
This premium clutch system combines advanced ceramic technology with a dampened design, suitable for high-performance street vehicles and racing fleets that demand both strength and dependability.
