What is the main difference between a rigid disc and a sprung disc clutch?

A rigid disc clutch, like the one in this FX500 kit, has no springs in the disc itself, leading to a more direct and sometimes abrupt engagement. A sprung disc clutch has springs that help absorb shock and provide a smoother engagement, which is more common in stock vehicles.

What is the torque capacity of this Clutch Masters FX500 clutch kit?

This FX500 clutch kit is rated to handle up to 400 ft-lbs of torque. This makes it suitable for modified vehicles or those experiencing higher power output than stock.

What else should I consider when installing this clutch kit?

It is highly recommended to resurface or replace the flywheel when installing a new clutch kit to ensure a proper mating surface. Inspecting other drivetrain components for wear is also a good practice for optimal performance and longevity.

About this part

Product Details

The rigid, 6-puck disc in this Clutch Masters FX500 kit is built to handle up to 400 ft-lbs of torque, making it a solid choice for your 2019-2023 Mazda Miata MX-5 with the 2.0L engine. This setup is designed for drivers who push their cars hard, whether that's on the track or during spirited street driving, and need a clutch that can keep up with increased power. The rigid disc design offers a more direct engagement compared to a sprung disc, which can be beneficial for quick shifts and a more connected feel to the drivetrain.

Clutch Masters has a well-known reputation for building robust clutch components, and this FX500 kit is no exception. It includes a high-performance pressure plate that works in conjunction with the 6-puck disc to provide strong clamping force. This combination ensures that power is transferred efficiently without slipping, even under demanding conditions. While this kit is built for performance, it's important to note that a rigid disc clutch can sometimes feel more abrupt during engagement than a stock clutch, especially at lower speeds or in stop-and-go traffic. This is a trade-off for the increased holding capacity and performance.

When installing this clutch kit, you'll want to ensure all related drivetrain components are in good condition. It's also a good idea to have the flywheel resurfaced or replaced to provide a fresh mating surface for the new clutch disc and pressure plate. This helps ensure optimal performance and longevity for the new clutch system. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding the procedure and any required tools.
