What is the main advantage of a 6-puck clutch disc?

A 6-puck clutch disc offers a larger surface area for engagement, which translates to a higher torque holding capacity. This makes it suitable for vehicles that have been modified to produce more power or for drivers who engage in demanding driving conditions.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes a high-performance pressure plate, a sprung 6-puck friction disc, and a pilot bearing. It's recommended to check the condition of your flywheel and refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for any additional hardware or steps.

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

About this part

Product Details

The Clutch Masters FX400 6-puck clutch kit is built with a sprung 6-puck disc, offering a significant increase in holding capacity over stock. This makes it a solid choice for your 1997-2003 BMW 540i, especially if you're looking to handle more power or engage in spirited driving.

This kit includes a high-performance pressure plate, a sprung 6-puck friction disc, and a pilot bearing. The sprung design of the puck disc helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch setup, making it more manageable for daily driving than a solid disc. The FX400 series is known for its ability to hold more torque, which is crucial if you've modified your 4.4L E39 engine or simply want a more robust drivetrain component. Clutch Masters uses well-built components throughout their kits to ensure reliability and performance.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to have the proper tools and refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific details. A new flywheel may be recommended or required depending on its condition, and proper break-in procedures should be followed to ensure the longevity of the clutch disc and plate. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your factory clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process.
