What is the main difference between this rigid disc and a stock clutch disc?

A rigid disc has no springs to absorb shock during engagement, offering a more direct and immediate connection between the engine and transmission. Stock clutch discs typically have springs to cushion engagement for a smoother, more comfortable feel.

What else should I consider replacing when installing this clutch kit?

It's a good idea to replace the pilot bearing and rear main seal while the transmission is removed. Inspecting and potentially replacing the flywheel is also recommended, especially if it shows signs of wear or damage.

How does the FX400 kit compare to a stock clutch in terms of holding power?

The FX400 kit is designed to hold significantly more horsepower and torque than the factory clutch. This makes it suitable for modified vehicles or those that experience heavier use, like track days.

About this part

Product Details

The rigid 6-puck disc in this Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit is a key feature for your 2001-2005 BMW M3. This design choice means the disc is solid, with no springs to absorb engagement shock. It's built for drivers who want a very direct and immediate connection between the engine and the transmission, especially when pushing the car hard.

This FX400 kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a solid option if you've modified your M3's engine or plan to. The kit includes a high-performance pressure plate, the rigid 6-puck disc, and a release bearing. Clutch Masters is well-known for making durable clutch components, and this kit is built to last under demanding use. You'll notice a firmer pedal feel and a more aggressive engagement compared to a stock clutch, which is exactly what you want for spirited driving or track use.

When installing this kit, remember that the rigid disc requires a bit more finesse during engagement, especially at low speeds. It's a trade-off for the improved performance and durability it offers. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, and consider replacing your rear main seal and pilot bearing while the transmission is out to ensure a smooth and reliable job.
