Clutch Masters 00-03 BMW Z8 5.0L / 98-03 BMW 540I 4.4L E39 / 99-04 BMW M5 5.0L E39 FX400 Clutch Kit

The Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit features a sprung hub design with a high-performance friction disc, offering a notable improvement in engagement feel and durability for your BMW M5, Z8, or 540i. This kit is built to handle the demands of spirited driving and track use, providing a solid connection between your engine and drivetrain without sacrificing too much daily drivability. The sprung hub helps absorb some of the shock and vibration, making it a more comfortable option than a solid hub design for a performance clutch.

This FX400 kit utilizes a high-clamping force pressure plate, engineered to provide a firm grip on the clutch disc. This increased clamping force is crucial for preventing clutch slip under high torque loads, which can occur during aggressive acceleration or when the engine is modified. The kit includes a performance-oriented friction disc designed for optimal heat dissipation and wear resistance, ensuring consistent performance over time. Clutch Masters is known for its well-built clutch components, and this kit is no exception, offering a reliable upgrade for enthusiasts looking for enhanced clutch performance.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures, which typically involve resurfacing or replacing the flywheel to ensure proper clutch engagement and longevity. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process. While it offers improved performance, it's designed to work with the stock flywheel, though an upgraded flywheel is often recommended for the best overall performance and heat management. This kit is a solid option for those seeking a more robust clutch system that can handle increased power and more demanding driving conditions.
