What is the advantage of a dampened clutch disc?

A dampened clutch disc, like the one in this FX400 kit, includes springs and sometimes rubber isolators within the disc assembly. These components help absorb torsional vibrations and shock loads from the engine, leading to a smoother engagement and a more comfortable driving experience, especially in stop-and-go traffic.

Why does this kit require a single mass flywheel?

This Clutch Masters FX400 kit is designed to work with a single mass flywheel, which is a common upgrade for performance BMWs. Single mass flywheels offer a more direct connection to the engine and are generally more durable under higher torque loads than the stock dual-mass flywheels, which can be prone to failure with performance clutches.

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

When replacing your clutch, it's a good practice to also replace the pilot bearing and the rear main seal on the engine. You'll also need to ensure you have the correct single mass flywheel, as this kit specifically requires it. Refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of recommended components and procedures.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the clutch in your 1989-1993 BMW 535i, especially if you're planning on doing some spirited driving or track days, the Clutch Masters FX400 dampened clutch kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, offering a noticeable improvement in engagement and durability. It's a popular choice for BMW owners who want a clutch that can keep up with their driving style.

The FX400 series clutch is built with a performance pressure plate and a sprung disc that includes a damper system. This damper helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a higher-performance clutch, making it more comfortable for daily driving than a solid disc setup. It's important to note that this kit requires the use of a single mass flywheel, which is a common upgrade for BMWs and offers a more direct connection between the engine and the transmission compared to the stock dual-mass flywheel. This combination provides a strong, reliable engagement that you can feel.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's designed for a specific fitment and requires the use of a single mass flywheel. Make sure you have the correct flywheel and all necessary hardware before you begin. This kit is a significant upgrade for your drivetrain, offering a blend of performance and drivability that many BMW enthusiasts appreciate.
