Clutch Masters 07-08 Acura TL 3.5L Type-S 6-Speed FX500 8-Puck Rigid Disc Clutch Kit

This Clutch Masters FX500 clutch kit includes the rigid 8-puck disc, a heavy-duty pressure plate, and a high-performance throw-out bearing. It's designed for the 2007-2008 Acura TL Type-S with the 3.5L engine and 6-speed manual transmission, offering a significant upgrade over the stock clutch for demanding use.

The FX500 series is Clutch Masters' answer for drivers who need a clutch that can handle more power and abuse without sacrificing too much daily drivability. The 8-puck rigid disc is built for aggressive engagement and high torque capacity, making it a solid choice if you're pushing your TL Type-S beyond its original specifications or simply want a more direct feel. This setup is well-suited for track days, spirited driving, or if you've added significant modifications like forced induction or a larger engine swap. The rigid disc design contributes to a more immediate clutch engagement, which can be beneficial for quick shifts.

When installing this kit, it's important to ensure your flywheel is resurfaced or replaced to provide a clean and flat mating surface for the new clutch disc and pressure plate. Proper break-in is also crucial for the longevity of the clutch; typically, this involves a period of gentle driving, avoiding hard acceleration and prolonged slipping of the clutch. This kit is a substantial upgrade, and you should expect a firmer pedal feel and a more abrupt engagement compared to the factory clutch.
