What is the main difference between a rigid disc clutch and a sprung hub clutch?

A rigid disc clutch has a solid center hub, which results in a more direct and immediate engagement when shifting gears. A sprung hub clutch has a hub with springs that absorb some of the shock, offering a smoother, more forgiving engagement.

Does this clutch kit include a new flywheel?

This Clutch Masters FX250 clutch kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It does not include a new flywheel; you will need to resurface or replace your existing flywheel separately.

What is the expected lifespan of this clutch kit?

The lifespan of a clutch kit can vary significantly based on driving habits, vehicle modifications, and proper installation. Clutch Masters products are known for their durability, but aggressive driving or heavy use can reduce its service life.

About this part

Product Details

Clutch Masters is well-known for making robust drivetrain components, and this FX250 rigid disc clutch kit is a prime example of their work. If you're looking to replace the clutch in your 2007-2008 Acura TL Type-S with the 3.5L engine and 6-speed manual transmission, this kit is built to handle more power and provide a more direct feel than the stock clutch.

This FX250 kit features a rigid disc, which means it doesn't have a sprung hub like many factory clutches. This design change contributes to a more immediate engagement when you shift gears, giving you a solid connection between the engine and the transmission. The rigid disc is paired with a performance pressure plate designed to clamp down harder than the original, ensuring that power is transferred efficiently, especially if you've made modifications to increase your engine's output. This kit is a popular choice for TL owners who want a clutch that can keep up with their driving style and any performance upgrades they've made.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's a direct replacement for your factory unit, meaning it fits right into the existing transmission bellhousing. You'll want to ensure you have all the necessary tools and potentially a service manual for your specific TL model to guide you through the process. It's also a good time to inspect your flywheel for wear and consider resurfacing or replacing it if needed, as this will ensure optimal performance and longevity for your new clutch.
