What is the engagement like with this clutch kit?

The Clutch Masters FX500 features a 6-puck ceramic disc with a rigid hub. This results in a more aggressive and direct engagement compared to a stock clutch, which is ideal for high-performance applications but may feel firmer to the driver.

What other parts might I need when installing this clutch kit?

It is highly recommended to inspect or resurface your flywheel during clutch replacement. You may also want to consider replacing the rear main seal and transmission fluid at the same time to ensure a complete and reliable repair.

Is this clutch kit suitable for daily driving?

While this FX500 kit is well-built for performance, its aggressive engagement and rigid disc design mean it will have a firmer pedal feel and may be less forgiving in stop-and-go traffic compared to a stock clutch. It's best suited for drivers who prioritize performance and are accustomed to a more direct clutch feel.

About this part

Product Details

This Clutch Masters FX500 clutch kit includes a rigid 6-puck ceramic disc, pressure plate, and a high-performance release bearing. It's built for the 2017 and 2018 Honda Civic Type-R with the 2.0L engine. If you're looking to handle significantly more power or want a clutch that can take a beating during spirited driving or track use, this kit is a solid option.

The FX500 series uses a 6-puck ceramic disc, which is known for its aggressive engagement and ability to handle high torque loads. The rigid hub design means there are no springs in the disc itself, which contributes to a more direct feel and quicker shifts. This ceramic material is tough and can withstand the heat generated during repeated launches or hard acceleration, making it a popular choice for modified vehicles or those that see frequent track time. The pressure plate is engineered to provide a strong clamping force, ensuring the clutch disc stays firmly engaged under demanding conditions.

When installing this kit, be prepared for a firmer pedal feel and a more abrupt engagement compared to the stock clutch. This is normal for a performance clutch like the FX500. It's recommended to have a professional mechanic perform the installation, as it involves removing the transmission and ensuring all components are properly aligned and torqued. You'll also want to ensure your flywheel is in good condition or consider resurfacing or replacing it at the same time for optimal performance and longevity.
