Clutch Masters 01-05 Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.4L 725 Series Street Clutch Kit w/Alum Flywheel

This Clutch Masters 725 Series Street Clutch Kit is what you get when you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 2001-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse with the 2.4L engine. Inside this box, you'll find a complete package designed to handle more power and provide a more direct feel than the stock clutch. It includes the clutch disc, a heavy-duty pressure plate, a release bearing, and an alignment tool, all specifically chosen to work together. The kit also comes with a lightweight aluminum flywheel, which is a significant upgrade from the factory unit.

The 725 Series clutch itself is built for a good balance between street drivability and increased holding capacity. It uses a performance-oriented friction material that offers a solid engagement without being overly grabby for daily driving. The pressure plate is engineered to provide a firmer pedal feel and ensure the clutch disc stays firmly engaged, even when you're putting down more power. The aluminum flywheel included in this kit is a key component; it's considerably lighter than a stock cast-iron flywheel. This reduction in rotational mass means the engine can rev up and down more quickly, leading to a more responsive feel when you accelerate or downshift. It also helps dissipate heat more effectively, which can be beneficial under spirited driving conditions.

When installing this kit, remember that it's a comprehensive replacement for your original clutch system. You'll be replacing the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. The aluminum flywheel is a direct replacement for your factory flywheel, but its lighter weight will change the way the engine responds. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, especially regarding proper break-in procedures for the new clutch disc and flywheel surface. This kit is a solid choice for Eclipse owners looking for a noticeable improvement in clutch performance and durability.
