What is the main benefit of the FX350 clutch disc compared to a standard clutch?

The FX350 clutch disc uses a unique friction material that offers a higher coefficient of friction, allowing it to hold more torque without slipping. It's paired with a performance pressure plate for increased clamping force, making it ideal for higher-powered applications.

Does this clutch kit come with all the necessary installation hardware?

This kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It is recommended to also replace the pilot bearing and release bearing, and to resurface or replace the flywheel during installation. Always consult the manufacturer's instructions for a complete list of recommended parts.

Is the sprung disc design important for my BMW?

Yes, the sprung hub design on the clutch disc is important for absorbing drivetrain shock and vibration. This helps to protect other components in your drivetrain and can contribute to a smoother, more comfortable pedal feel, especially in manual transmission vehicles like your BMW.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the clutch in your 2001-2005 BMW 325i, 325xi, 330i, 525i, or 530i, this Clutch Masters FX350 kit is a solid option for a significant upgrade. This kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for drivers who have modified their engines or simply want a more robust clutch for spirited driving. The FX350 series uses a sprung disc, which helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a higher-performance clutch, offering a more comfortable engagement than a solid disc setup.

The FX350 clutch disc itself features a unique friction material that provides a higher coefficient of friction, meaning it can hold more torque without slipping. This is paired with a performance pressure plate that offers increased clamping force. Clutch Masters is known for its well-built components, and this kit is no exception. The sprung hub design on the disc is crucial for reducing drivetrain shock, especially when paired with a manual transmission like the 6-speed found in these BMWs. This helps to protect other drivetrain components from excessive wear and tear.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to have all the necessary supporting components ready. This typically includes a new pilot bearing, release bearing (throw-out bearing), and potentially a new flywheel or resurfacing of the existing one, depending on its condition. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the most accurate procedure and torque specifications to ensure a proper and long-lasting installation. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process.
