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

An 8-puck clutch disc is designed to handle higher torque loads and temperatures than a stock clutch. The multiple pucks offer a larger surface area for engagement, which helps prevent slippage under more aggressive driving conditions or with engine modifications.

Does this clutch kit come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It is recommended to replace wear items like the pilot bearing and rear main seal during installation, which are typically sold separately.

What should I expect in terms of pedal feel and engagement with this clutch?

You can expect a firmer pedal feel and a more direct engagement compared to a stock clutch. The sprung hub design helps to mitigate some of the harshness, but it is a performance-oriented clutch that requires driver adaptation.

About this part

Product Details

The Clutch Masters FX400 8-Puck clutch kit features a sprung 8-puck disc, designed for vehicles with significant power upgrades or those that see frequent track use. This kit is built to handle higher torque loads than a stock clutch, making it a solid choice for enthusiasts looking to get the most out of their 2.5L engine. The sprung hub design helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch disc, offering a more manageable engagement for daily driving compared to an unsprung version.

This particular FX400 kit includes a high-performance pressure plate that offers increased clamping force, ensuring positive engagement and preventing clutch slip under demanding conditions. The 8-puck disc itself is made from a durable material that can withstand higher temperatures and more aggressive engagement cycles. While it's a more aggressive setup than a stock clutch, the sprung design aims to balance performance with a degree of everyday drivability. It's important to note that with any performance clutch upgrade, you can expect a firmer pedal feel and a more direct engagement, which may require some adjustment for drivers accustomed to a stock clutch.

When installing this kit, it's recommended to have all necessary supporting components ready, such as a new pilot bearing and rear main seal, as these are often replaced during a clutch job. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific torque specifications and procedures to ensure a proper and safe installation. This kit is a popular choice for those looking to upgrade their drivetrain's capability beyond factory specifications.
