What is the break-in procedure for this Clutch Masters FX350 clutch kit?

Clutch Masters recommends a specific break-in procedure for their FX350 clutch kits to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Typically, this involves a period of gentle driving with moderate shifts and avoiding hard acceleration or slipping the clutch for the first 500 miles. Always refer to the manufacturer's included instructions for the exact break-in process.

Does this clutch kit include a new flywheel?

No, this Clutch Masters FX350 clutch kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. It is designed to work with your vehicle's existing flywheel, though it's often recommended to inspect the flywheel for wear and resurface or replace it if necessary during clutch installation.

What is the difference between a sprung and solid hub clutch disc?

A sprung hub clutch disc has springs integrated into the hub assembly, which help to absorb torsional vibrations and shock loads from the engine and drivetrain. A solid hub disc does not have these springs and transmits more of these vibrations directly, often leading to a more direct feel but potentially less comfort in daily driving.

About this part

Product Details

The friction material on this Clutch Masters FX350 clutch kit is a sprung fiber composite, chosen for its ability to handle increased torque while still providing smooth engagement. This is a well-built kit designed to be a significant upgrade over the stock clutch, especially if you're pushing your 1986-1991 Mazda RX-7 or 2004-2007 Mazda RX-8 beyond its original power levels. The sprung hub design in the clutch disc helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch setup, making it more comfortable for daily driving than a solid hub disc.

Clutch Masters has put together this FX350 kit with performance and reliability in mind. The disc itself uses a high-performance sprung fiber material that offers a higher torque capacity than many factory clutches, meaning it can handle more power without slipping. This is crucial if you've made modifications to your engine or simply want a clutch that feels more robust and responsive. The kit includes the clutch disc, a pressure plate, and a release bearing, giving you the essential components needed for a clutch replacement. Remember that when replacing a clutch, it's often a good idea to inspect and potentially replace the pilot bearing and rear main seal at the same time, as these are easily accessible with the clutch removed.

This particular clutch kit is a popular choice for RX-7 and RX-8 owners looking for a noticeable improvement in clutch performance and durability. It strikes a good balance between being able to handle increased power and maintaining drivability. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, as proper break-in procedures are important for the longevity of any new clutch system.
