Clutch Masters 88-89 Toyota MR-2 1.6L Eng w/ Supercharger FX400 Clutch Kit 6-Puck

The Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit uses a 6-puck rigid hub disc, a design choice that helps handle the increased torque demands often found in modified or performance-oriented vehicles like your supercharged 1988-1989 Toyota MR2 with the 1.6L engine. This setup is built for drivers who need a clutch that can keep up with more aggressive driving and higher horsepower applications. The rigid hub disc, combined with the FX400 pressure plate, offers a more direct engagement feel compared to a sprung disc, which can be beneficial for quick shifts and managing power delivery.

This kit includes a high-performance pressure plate that's engineered to provide a solid clamping force, ensuring the clutch disc stays firmly engaged under load. The 6-puck friction surface on the disc is designed for a strong grip, making it suitable for applications where the stock clutch might start to slip. While this setup offers improved performance, it's important to note that the engagement can be firmer and potentially more abrupt than a stock clutch, especially at lower speeds or in stop-and-go traffic. Clutch Masters is a well-known name in the performance clutch market, and this FX400 kit is a popular choice for MR2 owners looking to upgrade their drivetrain's capability.

When installing this clutch kit, it's recommended to have a flywheel resurfaced or replaced to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding break-in procedures and proper torque specifications. This kit is designed to be a direct replacement for your factory clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process for those familiar with clutch replacements.
