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

Clutch Masters recommends a specific break-in procedure for their performance clutch kits to ensure proper engagement and longevity. Always refer to the installation instructions included with your kit for the exact steps, which typically involve a period of gentle driving without hard acceleration or slipping the clutch.

Do I need to replace my flywheel when installing this clutch kit?

While this kit includes a pilot bearing, it does not include a flywheel. It is highly recommended to resurface or replace your existing flywheel when installing a new clutch. This ensures a flat surface for the clutch disc, proper break-in, and optimal performance.

What is the difference between a rigid disc and a sprung hub disc?

A rigid disc has no springs in the hub, offering a very direct and firm engagement, often preferred for racing. A sprung hub disc, like the one in this FX350 kit, incorporates springs in the hub to absorb driveline shock and vibration, making it more comfortable for daily driving and reducing stress on other drivetrain components.

About this part

Product Details

This Clutch Masters FX350 Rigid Disc Clutch Kit is what you get when you're looking to replace the clutch on your 1996-1999 BMW 328i with the 2.8L engine. Inside this box, you'll find the FX350 pressure plate, a rigid disc, and a pilot bearing. This kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a solid choice if you've added modifications or simply want a more robust setup for your E36.

The FX350 clutch disc features a sprung hub, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a performance clutch. This makes it a bit more street-friendly than a solid hub disc, while still offering a strong engagement. The rigid disc design means it's built for durability and consistent performance under load. Clutch Masters is well-known for their performance clutch systems, and this kit is a popular option for BMW enthusiasts looking for an upgrade that balances performance with drivability.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's a direct replacement for your stock clutch assembly. You'll want to ensure your flywheel is in good condition; resurfacing or replacing it is often recommended during a clutch job to ensure proper break-in and longevity of the new clutch. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding the break-in procedure, as this is crucial for getting the most out of your new Clutch Masters kit.
