Clutch Masters 07-11 MazdaSPEED3 FX400 Six Puck Ceramic Disc w/ Steel Flywheel

Built with a solid steel flywheel and a six-puck ceramic disc, this Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit is designed for the 2007-2011 Mazda 3. This setup offers a more direct and aggressive engagement compared to a stock clutch, making it a popular choice for drivers looking to handle increased power or simply get a firmer feel at the pedal. The ceramic friction material on the disc is known for its ability to withstand higher temperatures, which is crucial during spirited driving or when the clutch is used more frequently for engagement.

The FX400 series from Clutch Masters is engineered to handle significant torque increases, often found in modified vehicles. The six-puck design of the ceramic disc provides a larger surface area for engagement, contributing to its higher torque capacity. This kit includes the necessary steel flywheel, ensuring a complete package for the clutch replacement. When installing this clutch, be prepared for a firmer pedal feel and a more immediate engagement; it's a noticeable change from a stock clutch, and it requires a bit more precision when starting from a stop.

This kit is a comprehensive solution for upgrading your Mazda 3's drivetrain. It's important to ensure all related components, such as the pilot bearing and throw-out bearing, are in good condition or replaced during the clutch job to ensure smooth operation and longevity. Proper break-in procedures, as recommended by Clutch Masters, should be followed to seat the new friction materials correctly and maximize the life of the clutch system.
