What is the main benefit of a twin-disc clutch over a single-disc clutch?

A twin-disc clutch uses two friction surfaces instead of one, which greatly increases the total surface area available for engagement. This allows it to handle significantly more torque and dissipate heat more effectively, making it suitable for high-horsepower applications and heavy-duty use.

Does this clutch 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 to determine if any additional pilot bearings, alignment tools, or specialized fluids are required for your specific vehicle.

How does the sprung center hub affect driving feel?

The sprung center hub on the clutch discs is designed to absorb some of the torsional shock and vibration that can occur during engagement and disengagement. This generally leads to a smoother and more comfortable driving experience on the street compared to unsprung or solid hub designs, especially in high-performance applications.

About this part

Product Details

Clutch Masters is well-known for making robust clutch components, and this FX1200 Street Twin Disc Clutch is a prime example of their work. If you're driving a 2005-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 with the 5.9L Cummins engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, and you're looking to handle more power or tow heavier loads, this clutch kit is built for that purpose.

This is a twin-disc setup, meaning it uses two separate clutch discs. This design significantly increases the surface area for engagement, which helps distribute the clamping force more evenly. For your truck, this translates to a much higher torque capacity than a single-disc clutch, making it ideal for modified engines or demanding work. The FX1200 series uses a sprung center hub design on the discs, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a high-performance clutch, offering a more comfortable street driving experience compared to some other twin-disc setups. The kit includes a steel flywheel, which is a solid choice for durability and heat management under heavy use.

When installing a twin-disc clutch like this, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, as the setup and alignment are critical for proper function. This clutch is designed to handle substantial power increases, so consider if your other drivetrain components, like the transmission and axles, are up to the task. This kit is a serious upgrade for Ram owners who push their trucks hard.
