What is the benefit of a dampened clutch disc?

A dampened clutch disc uses springs within the disc assembly to absorb shock and vibration during engagement. This results in a smoother pedal feel and helps reduce drivetrain lash, making it more comfortable for daily driving compared to a solid disc clutch.

Does this clutch kit include a flywheel?

This Clutch Masters FX300 clutch kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. It is designed to be used with your vehicle's existing flywheel, which should be inspected and resurfaced or replaced if necessary during installation.

What is the recommended break-in procedure for this clutch?

Clutch Masters typically recommends a break-in period for their clutches. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions included with the kit for the specific break-in procedure, which usually involves a series of gentle accelerations and decelerations without hard launches or excessive slipping.

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the clutch in your 1996-1999 BMW 328i, especially if you've noticed slipping or a grabby pedal, this Clutch Masters FX300 kit is a solid option. This particular kit is designed for the 2.8L E36 models and features a dampened disc, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration during engagement, making for a smoother feel than a solid disc, particularly in daily driving situations. It's a well-built setup that can handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for those who might have added some modifications or simply want a more robust replacement.

The FX300 series from Clutch Masters is known for its ability to hold more torque while still offering a manageable pedal feel. The dampened disc design is key here; it uses springs within the disc to cushion engagement, which is especially beneficial for street cars where comfort and drivability are important. This kit includes the necessary components to get your clutch system refreshed, aiming for improved engagement and a more confident connection between your engine and drivetrain. It's a step up from a standard replacement, offering a good balance of performance and street manners.

When installing a clutch kit like this, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear or damage, and resurfacing or replacing it is often recommended for optimal performance and longevity of the new clutch. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's specific break-in procedure after installation to ensure the clutch surfaces mate properly and achieve their full lifespan.
