About this part

Product Details

The Clutch Masters FX350 clutch kit uses a sprung hub design with a multi-plate friction disc. This setup is built to handle the demands of a higher-powered 4.4L V8 engine found in the 1997-2003 BMW 540i, offering a noticeable improvement over the stock clutch's engagement and torque capacity.

This FX350 kit features a performance pressure plate that works with the sprung hub friction disc to provide a solid connection. The sprung hub helps to absorb some of the drivetrain shock, which is important for a car like the 540i. The multi-plate design is key to handling increased torque and heat generated during spirited driving or track use, ensuring consistent performance when you need it most. Clutch Masters is known for making well-built clutch components, and this kit is designed to be a direct replacement for your factory unit, simplifying the installation process.

When installing this clutch kit, it's a good idea to have a flywheel resurfaced or replaced, and to inspect your rear main seal and pilot bearing for any signs of wear. This ensures that the new clutch system operates optimally and lasts as long as possible. This kit is a solid option for anyone looking to upgrade their 540i's drivetrain for better performance and reliability.
