Clutch Masters 07-08 Acura TL 3.5L Type-S 6-Speed 850 Series Race Clutch Kit w/Steel Flywheel

The Clutch Masters 850 Series Race Clutch Kit is built around a sprung hub design, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with aggressive driving and higher horsepower. This kit is specifically designed for the 2007-2008 Acura TL Type-S with the 3.5L engine and 6-speed manual transmission, offering a significant upgrade for those pushing their vehicles beyond stock performance levels.

This particular 850 Series kit features a single-plate, sprung-hub clutch with a cerametallic friction material. Cerametallic is known for its ability to handle extreme heat and torque, making it a popular choice for race cars and heavily modified street vehicles. The kit includes a solid steel flywheel, which is a robust and durable option that complements the high-performance clutch disc. The sprung hub design helps to mitigate drivetrain shock, making it a more streetable option than some solid-hub race clutches, though it's still intended for demanding use.

When installing a race clutch like this, it's important to understand that engagement can be more abrupt than a stock clutch. The cerametallic material requires a proper break-in procedure to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the specific break-in process and any special considerations for your vehicle. This kit is a substantial upgrade for enthusiasts looking to handle significantly increased power output and track-day abuse.
