What flywheel is required for this clutch kit?

This Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit requires the use of the Clutch Masters CM FW-CM5-AL aluminum flywheel. This specific flywheel is engineered to work with this clutch for proper operation and performance.

What is the difference between a sprung disc and an unsprung disc?

A sprung disc, like the one in this kit, has springs in the hub to absorb some of the shock and vibration from engagement. An unsprung disc offers a more direct and potentially harsher engagement, often used in extreme performance applications.

Is this clutch kit suitable for daily driving?

The FX400 with a 6-puck sprung disc offers a more aggressive engagement than a stock clutch. While it can be used for daily driving, drivers should be comfortable with a firmer pedal feel and a quicker bite point for smooth operation.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit specifically for your 2000-2003 BMW M5 with the 5.0L E39 engine. If you're looking to handle more power or simply want a more direct clutch feel for spirited driving, this kit is a solid option. It features a 6-puck sprung disc, which offers a more aggressive engagement compared to a stock clutch, making it suitable for drivers who are comfortable with a firmer pedal feel and a quicker bite point.

The FX400 series is designed for a significant increase in torque capacity over stock, making it a popular choice for M5 owners who have modified their engines or plan to. The sprung hub design of the disc helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration typically associated with a puck-style clutch, offering a bit more comfort and reducing drivetrain stress. It's important to note that this kit requires the use of the Clutch Masters CM FW-CM5-AL aluminum flywheel, which is sold separately. This specific flywheel is engineered to work seamlessly with this clutch to ensure proper operation and performance.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's a performance upgrade. You'll want to ensure your flywheel is resurfaced or replaced, and that all associated components like the pilot bearing and release bearing are in good condition. This kit is a significant upgrade for your M5's drivetrain, offering enhanced performance and durability for demanding use.
