What is the main benefit of the FX400 clutch kit over the stock clutch?

The FX400 kit features a larger 267mm clutch disc and a multi-plate design, which significantly increases its holding capacity. This makes it better suited for handling increased engine power and provides more consistent engagement.

How does the included aluminum flywheel affect performance?

The lightweight aluminum flywheel reduces the engine's rotational mass. This allows the engine to rev up and down more quickly, leading to improved throttle response and a more agile feel when accelerating or decelerating.

Is this clutch kit suitable for daily driving?

Yes, the FX400 clutch is designed with a sprung, multi-plate configuration that helps absorb drivetrain shock. This makes it more comfortable for daily use compared to some other high-performance clutch options.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit, specifically designed for the 1997-2003 BMW 540i with the 4.4L engine (E39 chassis). If you're looking to handle more power or simply want a more robust clutch setup for your 540i, this kit is a solid choice. It replaces your stock clutch with a larger 267mm unit, offering increased holding capacity compared to the original equipment.

The FX400 series clutch is built for drivers who demand more from their drivetrain. It features a sprung, multi-plate design that helps absorb drivetrain shock, making it more comfortable for daily driving than some other high-performance options. The kit includes a lightweight aluminum flywheel, which reduces rotational mass. This change helps the engine rev more freely and can improve throttle response, making the car feel a bit more eager off the line. The multi-plate design also helps dissipate heat effectively, which is crucial for maintaining clutch performance under stress.

When installing this kit, remember that it's a significant upgrade over the stock clutch. The aluminum flywheel is a direct replacement for the stock unit, but the larger clutch disc and pressure plate require careful alignment during installation. This kit is designed to be a complete solution, including the necessary components for a comprehensive clutch replacement. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's installation instructions closely for optimal performance and longevity.
