About this part

Product Details

Clutch Masters is well-known for making robust clutch components for performance applications. This FX400 clutch kit is built for your 2000-2003 BMW M5, which came from the factory with a powerful 5.0L V8 engine. If you're looking to replace a worn-out clutch or want a stronger setup for spirited driving, this kit is a solid option. It features a sprung disc design, which helps absorb some of the shock during engagement, making it a bit more forgiving for daily driving compared to a rigid hub disc.

The FX400 series clutch is designed to handle more torque than the stock clutch, making it suitable for modified vehicles or those that see frequent hard use. This kit includes the sprung disc and pressure plate, engineered to work together for reliable performance. It's important to note that this specific clutch kit requires the use of the Clutch Masters CM FW-CM5-AL aluminum flywheel. Using the correct flywheel is crucial for proper fitment and function, ensuring the clutch engages and disengages smoothly and efficiently.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's a significant drivetrain component. It's always recommended to have a professional mechanic perform the installation if you're not experienced with clutch replacements. This ensures everything is torqued correctly and the system is bled properly for optimal performance and longevity. This kit is a direct replacement for the clutch assembly, but the flywheel is a separate purchase that must be the specified Clutch Masters model.
