Clutch Masters 06-11 Subaru Forester 2.5L 5-Speed Turbo FX300 Clutch Kit

The Clutch Masters FX300 clutch kit uses a sprung hub design, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a performance clutch. This particular kit is built for 5-speed turbocharged Subaru models, including the 2005-2012 Legacy, 2006 Baja, and 2006-2011 Forester. If you're looking to upgrade your clutch for more spirited driving or to handle increased power, this kit offers a solid step up from the stock setup.

This FX300 kit features a performance pressure plate that offers a firmer pedal feel than stock, making engagement more direct and predictable. The clutch disc itself is designed for improved holding capacity, meaning it can handle more torque without slipping. The sprung hub design is a notable detail because it helps reduce drivetrain shock, making the engagement smoother than a solid hub clutch, which is especially beneficial for daily driving. Clutch Masters is well-known for making durable clutch components, and this kit is no exception, aiming to provide reliable performance for a wide range of Subaru applications.

When installing a performance clutch kit like this, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear or damage. If the flywheel is glazed or has deep grooves, resurfacing or replacing it is recommended for optimal clutch performance and longevity. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your factory clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process.
