What is the main advantage of a twin-disc clutch like the FX850?

A twin-disc clutch has two friction surfaces instead of one, which significantly increases the total surface area. This allows it to handle much higher torque loads and dissipate heat more effectively than a single-disc clutch, making it ideal for performance applications.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the twin-disc clutch assembly and a steel flywheel. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of required components and any additional items that may be necessary for a proper installation.

What is the break-in procedure for this clutch?

Proper break-in is essential for the longevity and performance of your new clutch. Refer to the Clutch Masters installation instructions included with your kit for the specific recommended break-in procedure, which typically involves a period of light driving and avoiding hard acceleration or slipping the clutch.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 2001-2005 BMW M3 E46, especially one equipped with the SMG transmission, this Clutch Masters FX850 Street Twin Disc Clutch Kit is a solid option. This kit is built to handle more power and provide a more direct feel than the stock clutch, making it suitable for performance driving and track use while still being manageable for daily driving.

The FX850 features two friction discs, which significantly increases the surface area for engagement. This design allows for a higher torque capacity and improved heat dissipation compared to a single disc setup. The kit includes a steel flywheel, which is a durable and cost-effective choice for performance applications. Clutch Masters uses their own proprietary friction materials for the discs, balancing a strong grip with smooth engagement. The twin-disc design also helps to reduce rotational mass compared to some single-disc setups, which can lead to quicker engine response.

This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your factory clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process. It's important to note that with any twin-disc clutch, especially one designed for performance, you may notice a slightly different engagement feel compared to your original clutch. This is normal and part of the performance upgrade. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, as proper break-in procedures are crucial for the longevity and performance of this clutch system.
