About this part

Product Details

This is the Clutch Masters FX400 8-Puck Clutch Kit, specifically made for your 1997-2003 BMW 540i with the 4.4L V8 engine. If you're looking to handle more power, especially if you've modified your engine or plan to, this kit is a solid choice to ensure your drivetrain can keep up. It's designed to be a direct replacement for your stock clutch, but with a significant upgrade in holding capacity.

The FX400 series clutch is Clutch Masters' performance line, and this particular kit features an 8-puck rigid disc. This design offers a very firm engagement and is built to handle high torque applications, making it ideal for modified vehicles or those that see frequent hard use. The rigid hub means there are no dampening springs, which contributes to its robust feel and direct power transfer. This kit includes the pressure plate, the 8-puck disc, and a release bearing, so you have the essential components for the swap.

When installing this clutch, be prepared for a firmer pedal feel and a more direct engagement compared to your original clutch. It's a trade-off for the increased holding power and durability. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure after installation to ensure the clutch surfaces mate properly and achieve their full lifespan. This kit is a substantial upgrade for your 540i's drivetrain.
