What is the main difference between this FX500 clutch and a stock clutch?

The Clutch Masters FX500 clutch is built to handle significantly more torque and horsepower than a factory clutch. Its 6-puck rigid disc offers a more direct and aggressive engagement, which is ideal for modified vehicles or spirited driving.

Is this clutch kit suitable for daily driving?

While the FX500 can be used for daily driving, the rigid 6-puck disc provides a firmer engagement that may feel more abrupt than a stock organic clutch. It's best suited for drivers who prioritize performance and durability, especially if their vehicle is modified.

What other parts should I consider replacing when installing this clutch kit?

When replacing a clutch, it's a good time to also consider replacing the pilot bearing, rear main seal, and potentially the clutch fork and slave cylinder. Inspecting the flywheel for damage or wear is also recommended.

About this part

Product Details

This Clutch Masters FX500 clutch kit includes a rigid 6-puck disc, a heavy-duty pressure plate, and a high-performance throw-out bearing. It's designed for BMW models like the 325i, 330i, 525i, 530i, and Z4, offering a significant upgrade over the stock clutch for vehicles that see spirited driving or handle increased power. If you're looking to handle more torque or simply want a more direct engagement feel, this kit is a solid option.

The FX500 series is known for its ability to hold more horsepower and torque than a stock clutch, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts who have modified their engines or plan to. The rigid 6-puck disc provides a very positive engagement, meaning when you let the clutch out, it grabs firmly and quickly. This can translate to quicker shifts and a more connected feeling to the drivetrain. While this type of disc can be a bit more abrupt than a stock organic disc, it's built for durability under demanding conditions.

Installation of a clutch kit like this typically involves removing the transmission to access the clutch assembly. It's a job that requires specific tools and knowledge, so if you're not comfortable with major drivetrain work, it's best to have a professional mechanic handle it. Ensure you have all necessary supporting components, such as pilot bearings and rear main seals, ready before starting the job, as it's the ideal time to replace them.
