What is the main advantage of an 8-puck dampened disc over a stock clutch?

An 8-puck dampened disc offers a larger engagement surface area than a stock clutch, which helps with smoother engagement. The dampened design also absorbs more vibration, making it more comfortable for daily driving compared to a solid disc while still providing strong holding power.

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

It's highly recommended to resurface or replace your flywheel and consider a new pilot bearing when installing a new clutch. These components are crucial for proper clutch function and can help ensure the longevity of your new clutch.

Is this clutch kit suitable for daily driving?

Yes, the FX400 series with its dampened 8-puck disc is designed to offer a good balance between performance and streetability. While it's a performance upgrade, it aims to maintain a comfortable driving experience for daily use.

About this part

Product Details

This Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit includes the essential components for a robust clutch upgrade on your 2006-2010 BMW 550 with the 4.8L E60 engine. You get a high-performance 8-puck dampened disc, a pressure plate, and a release bearing. This kit is designed for drivers who push their vehicles hard and need a clutch that can handle more power and abuse than the stock unit.

The FX400 series from Clutch Masters is a popular choice for a reason. It uses an 8-puck disc, which offers a larger surface area for engagement compared to a 6-puck, leading to a smoother engagement feel while still providing excellent holding power. The dampened design of the disc helps absorb some of the shock and vibration, making it more streetable than a solid disc, especially for daily driving. The pressure plate is built to handle increased torque, ensuring that your clutch can reliably transfer power to the drivetrain even under demanding conditions. This kit is a solid option if you're looking to significantly improve your clutch's performance and durability.

When installing a performance clutch kit like this, it's always a good idea to have a new pilot bearing and flywheel resurfaced or replaced, as these are critical for proper clutch operation and longevity. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully for the best results.
