Clutch Masters 12-17 Ford Focus 2.0L FX400 Heavy Duty Rigid Clutch Kit

In this Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit, you get the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a release bearing. This is a heavy-duty, rigid-style clutch designed for the 2012-2017 Ford Focus with the 2.0L engine. If you're looking to handle more power or simply want a more robust clutch for spirited driving or track use, this kit is built to take it.

The FX400 series from Clutch Masters is known for its ability to handle significant power increases, making it a popular choice for modified vehicles. It uses a sprung hub disc, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a stiffer clutch setup, offering a slightly more comfortable engagement than a solid hub disc. The pressure plate is engineered for increased clamping force, ensuring that your clutch can effectively transfer power without slipping, even under demanding conditions. This kit is a rigid-mount style, meaning the clutch disc does not have a sprung hub, which provides a more direct engagement feel and is often preferred for racing applications where maximum power transfer is critical. It's important to note that a rigid clutch disc can introduce more drivetrain shock and noise compared to a sprung disc, so this is typically chosen for performance builds where those factors are secondary to holding power.

When installing this clutch kit, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures. This includes proper resurfacing or replacement of the flywheel, as well as ensuring all mating surfaces are clean. Because this is a performance-oriented clutch, you may notice a firmer pedal feel and a more abrupt engagement compared to the stock clutch. This is normal for a heavy-duty unit designed to handle higher torque loads. You'll want to ensure your flywheel is in excellent condition, as this kit is designed to work with a flywheel that is true and free of damage. If you're rebuilding your drivetrain or significantly increasing your engine's output, this Clutch Masters kit offers a well-built solution to manage the added power.
