Clutch Masters 09-12 Porsche 997.2 FX350 Heavy Duty Pressure Plate - Dampened disc

Clutch Masters is well-known for making robust clutch components, and this FX350 Heavy Duty Pressure Plate is a prime example. If you're looking to upgrade the clutch system on your 2009-2012 Porsche 911, this pressure plate is designed to handle more power and provide a more direct feel than the stock unit. It's built to work with the included dampened disc, which helps absorb some of the shock during engagement, making it a solid choice for drivers who push their cars hard.

This pressure plate is part of the FX350 kit, which is engineered for a significant increase in holding capacity. The heavy-duty construction means it can better manage the torque and heat generated during spirited driving or track use. The dampened disc is a key feature here; it uses springs to cushion engagement, reducing drivetrain shock and offering a smoother, more controlled clutch pedal feel compared to a solid disc, especially at lower RPMs. This combination aims to provide a strong, reliable clutch that still remains manageable for daily driving.

When installing this pressure plate, it's important to ensure all related clutch components, such as the clutch disc and release bearing, are in good condition or are also being replaced. Proper alignment and installation are crucial for the longevity and performance of the entire clutch system. This setup is a popular choice for 911 owners looking for an improved clutch performance that balances strength with drivability.
