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

The FX400 clutch kit offers a larger 267mm clutch disc, which provides more surface area for better grip and torque transfer. This makes it capable of handling more power than the original clutch, improving engagement and durability, especially if your engine has been modified.

Does this kit include a new flywheel?

Yes, this kit comes complete with a lightweight aluminum flywheel. Using an aluminum flywheel can help your engine rev more freely, leading to quicker throttle response and a more dynamic feel during acceleration.

Will the pedal feel change with this performance clutch kit?

As a performance upgrade, you can expect a firmer pedal feel compared to the stock clutch. The sprung hub design in the clutch disc helps to absorb some driveline shock, but the overall engagement will be more direct and robust.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the clutch on your 1997-2003 BMW 540i with the 4.4L engine, this Clutch Masters FX400 kit is a solid choice for a significant upgrade. This kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it ideal if you've modified your engine or plan to in the future. It features a larger 267mm clutch disc, which means more surface area for gripping, leading to better engagement and the ability to transfer more torque without slipping.

The FX400 series clutch is known for its strong performance and durability. It uses a sprung hub design for the clutch disc, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a high-performance clutch, making it a bit more comfortable for daily driving than some other performance options. The kit also includes a lightweight aluminum flywheel. This flywheel helps the engine rev more freely, contributing to a snappier throttle response and quicker acceleration, while also reducing rotational mass. The combination of the FX400 clutch disc and the aluminum flywheel offers a notable improvement in how your car launches and accelerates.

When installing this kit, remember that it's a performance upgrade, so expect a firmer pedal feel compared to your original clutch. The aluminum flywheel requires specific torque procedures during installation, so it's always best to consult the manufacturer's detailed instructions to ensure everything is set up correctly. This kit is a comprehensive solution for anyone wanting to enhance their 540i's drivetrain performance and reliability under increased load.
