About this part

Product Details

This Clutch Masters FX500 8-Puck Rigid Disc Clutch Kit is built for the 2009-2012 Porsche 997.2 Carrera with the 3.6L DFI engine. If you're looking to handle more power or want a more direct engagement from your clutch, this kit is a solid option. It's designed to be a step up from stock, offering a more robust engagement for spirited driving and higher-performance applications.

The FX500 series features an 8-puck rigid disc, which is known for its ability to hold significantly more torque than a stock clutch. The rigid design means there are no dampening springs in the disc itself, leading to a very direct and immediate clutch engagement. This setup is ideal for drivers who want to feel a strong connection between the engine and the drivetrain, especially when pushing the car hard. The kit includes a high-performance pressure plate, the 8-puck rigid disc, and a release bearing, providing the essential components for a clutch replacement. Clutch Masters is a well-known name in performance clutches, and this kit reflects their focus on durability and performance for demanding applications.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure your flywheel is in good condition, as it's a critical surface for clutch performance. If your flywheel is worn or damaged, it's recommended to have it resurfaced or replaced. This kit is designed for a direct fit, but as with any clutch job, proper alignment and careful installation are key to a good result and long clutch life. You'll want to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding torque specifications and procedures.
