Clutch Masters 06-11 Subaru Forester 2.5L 5-Speed Turbo FX400 6-Puck Clutch Kit w/Aluminum Flywheel

This is the Clutch Masters FX400 6-puck clutch kit with an aluminum flywheel, specifically made for the 2006-2011 Subaru Forester with the 2.5L turbo engine and 5-speed manual transmission. If you've upgraded your turbo or are planning to push your Forester's engine harder, this kit is designed to handle the increased torque and power that comes with those modifications. It's a solid step up from the stock clutch, offering a more robust engagement for spirited driving and performance applications.

The FX400 series clutch is known for its ability to hold significantly more power than a stock clutch, making it a popular choice for tuners and enthusiasts who have modified their vehicles. The 6-puck sprung hub disc provides a strong engagement, which is crucial for transferring power efficiently without slipping, especially under load. The kit includes a lightweight aluminum flywheel, which not only reduces rotational mass for quicker engine response and rev-ups but also helps dissipate heat more effectively than a heavier steel flywheel. This combination is key to managing the demands of a performance-oriented drivetrain.

When installing this kit, remember that a 6-puck clutch disc typically has a more abrupt engagement than a stock organic clutch. This means you'll need to be a bit more deliberate with clutch pedal control, especially at low speeds or in stop-and-go traffic. The aluminum flywheel also requires specific torque-to-yield bolts for proper installation, so be sure to consult the manufacturer's instructions. This kit is a comprehensive solution for those looking to upgrade their Forester's clutch to match their performance goals.
