Clutch Masters 17-18 Honda Civic Type-R 2.0L FX400 6-Puck Ceramic Sprung Disc Clutch Kit

The Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit features a sprung 6-puck ceramic disc, a design choice that balances aggressive engagement with a degree of driver comfort. This kit is specifically built for the 2017-2018 Honda Civic Type-R with the 2.0L engine, aiming to handle increased power output while maintaining reasonable drivability.

This FX400 kit is a step up from stock, intended for drivers who push their Type-R hard. The ceramic friction material on the 6-puck disc offers a high coefficient of friction, meaning it grabs firmly and can handle significant heat buildup. The sprung hub design helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch, making it more manageable in daily driving situations compared to a rigid hub design. Clutch Masters uses a well-built pressure plate in this kit, engineered to provide the clamping force needed to keep the ceramic disc engaged under demanding conditions.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to have the necessary supporting components. While this kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate, you'll typically want to inspect or replace your pilot bearing, throw-out bearing, and flywheel at the same time. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding proper break-in procedures and any required torque specifications.
