What is the main difference between this rigid disc clutch and a stock clutch?

The Clutch Masters FX100 Rigid Disc Clutch features a sprung hub with a rigid disc, meaning there are no springs in the disc itself. This design offers a more direct and immediate engagement feel compared to a stock clutch, which typically uses a sprung disc for smoother, more dampened engagement.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes a high-clamp load pressure plate, a rigid friction disc, and a release bearing. It is recommended to resurface or replace your flywheel and to follow manufacturer break-in procedures for optimal performance and longevity.

What is the expected lifespan of this clutch kit?

The lifespan of a clutch kit can vary significantly based on driving habits, vehicle power output, and proper installation. The FX100's performance friction material and high-clamp load pressure plate are designed for improved durability over stock, especially under demanding conditions.

About this part

Product Details

The Clutch Masters FX100 Rigid Disc Clutch Kit uses a sprung hub design with a high-performance friction material. This setup is built for vehicles like your 2007-2008 Acura TL Type-S with the 3.5L V6 engine and 6-speed manual transmission, offering a noticeable improvement in engagement feel over stock. The rigid disc design means there are no springs in the disc itself, which contributes to a more direct connection between the engine and the transmission when the clutch pedal is engaged.

This kit includes a high-clamp load pressure plate, a rigid friction disc, and a release bearing. The pressure plate is engineered to provide a stronger clamping force than the original equipment, ensuring that the clutch can handle increased power output or more demanding driving conditions without slipping. The friction material is chosen for its ability to withstand higher temperatures and provide consistent performance, making it a solid option for those who drive their TL spiritedly or are looking for a more robust clutch setup. The included release bearing is designed to work seamlessly with the new pressure plate.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure that the flywheel is resurfaced or replaced to provide a clean and flat surface for the new clutch disc. Proper break-in procedures, as recommended by Clutch Masters, should also be followed to allow the friction surfaces to mate correctly, ensuring longevity and optimal performance of the new clutch system. This kit is a direct replacement for the factory clutch, simplifying the installation process for a mechanic.
