What is the main difference between a rigid disc and a sprung hub clutch disc?

A rigid disc has a solid center hub, offering a more direct and immediate engagement feel. A sprung hub disc has springs in the hub to absorb some of the drivetrain shock, which can lead to a smoother, though less direct, engagement.

What is the benefit of the FX350 friction material?

The FX350 friction material is known for its broad engagement range, meaning it grabs effectively over a wider pedal travel. It also offers good heat dissipation, which helps prevent the clutch from overheating and losing performance during hard use.

Do I need to replace or resurface my flywheel when installing this clutch kit?

Yes, it is highly recommended to resurface or replace your flywheel when installing a new clutch kit. A fresh, flat surface ensures proper clutch engagement and helps maximize the lifespan of the new clutch components.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Clutch Masters FX350 Rigid Disc Clutch Kit, specifically designed for the 2006-2010 BMW 550i with the 4.8L engine (E60 chassis). If you're looking to handle more power or simply want a more robust clutch for your performance-oriented BMW, this kit is a solid choice. It replaces your original clutch assembly with components engineered to handle increased demands.

The FX350 kit features a rigid, sprung hub disc. This type of disc offers a more direct engagement feel compared to a sprung hub, which can be beneficial for drivers who want a more connected experience with their drivetrain. The rigid hub design also contributes to its ability to handle higher torque loads. Clutch Masters uses a unique friction material for the FX350 that provides a broad engagement range and good heat dissipation, helping to prevent premature wear and fade under spirited driving conditions. This kit is built to be a direct replacement for your factory clutch, simplifying the installation process for a qualified mechanic.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure your flywheel is resurfaced or replaced to provide a fresh, flat surface for the new clutch disc. This helps guarantee proper engagement and longevity. While this kit is designed for increased performance, it's important to note that the rigid disc may result in a slightly more abrupt engagement compared to the stock clutch, especially at low speeds. This is a common characteristic of performance clutch upgrades aimed at maximizing power handling and driver feedback.
