What is the main advantage of a twin-disc clutch like the FX850?

A twin-disc clutch offers a larger friction surface area compared to a single-disc setup. This allows it to handle significantly more torque and dissipate heat more effectively, making it ideal for high-performance or modified vehicles.

Is this clutch kit streetable for daily driving?

Yes, the Clutch Masters FX850 series is designed with a sprung center hub and a proprietary ceramic material that balances high performance with streetability. While it will have a firmer pedal feel than stock, it's engineered to be manageable for daily use.

What else should I consider replacing when installing this clutch kit?

When installing a new clutch, it's highly recommended to replace the pilot bearing, release bearing (throw-out bearing), and inspect the flywheel for damage. It's also a good time to check the clutch fork and slave cylinder for wear.

About this part

Product Details

If you're pushing your BMW hard, especially a performance model like the E36 M3, and you're looking to handle more power or just want a more robust clutch setup, this Clutch Masters FX850 Twin Disc Street Clutch Kit is a serious consideration. This kit is built to handle significant increases in torque and horsepower, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts who have modified their engines or plan to. It's designed to offer a more positive engagement and better heat dissipation than a single-disc setup, which is crucial when you're putting your drivetrain to the test.

The FX850 series uses a unique sprung center hub design that helps absorb shock and vibration, making it surprisingly streetable for a twin-disc clutch. It features two high-performance friction discs made from a proprietary ceramic material that offers excellent wear characteristics and a high coefficient of friction, meaning it grips hard and lasts. The kit includes a solid steel flywheel, which is a strong and durable option that complements the clutch discs. This setup is engineered to provide a firm pedal feel and quick, precise shifts, giving you more control over your vehicle's power delivery. It's a well-built system designed for longevity and performance under demanding conditions.

This kit is designed to fit a range of BMW models, including the 1995-1999 M3, the 2001-2005 330i, and the 2001-2006 325Ci, among others. It's important to note that a twin-disc clutch installation is more involved than a standard single-disc replacement. You'll want to ensure your flywheel bolts, pilot bearing, and release bearing are in good condition, as these are often replaced at the same time. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the most accurate guidance on the process.
