What is the benefit of a sprung clutch disc?

A sprung clutch disc has springs integrated into its hub. These springs help absorb torsional vibrations and shock loads from the engine and drivetrain, leading to smoother engagement and reducing stress on other components.

Do I need to replace my flywheel when installing this clutch kit?

It is highly recommended to resurface or replace your flywheel when installing a new clutch kit. A clean, flat flywheel surface is essential for proper clutch engagement, preventing premature wear and ensuring smooth operation.

What is the difference between this FX250 kit and a stock clutch?

The FX250 kit features a higher performance pressure plate and a 267mm sprung disc, offering increased clamping force and better shock absorption compared to the factory clutch. This results in more direct power transfer and improved durability, especially under demanding driving conditions.

About this part

Product Details

The Clutch Masters FX250 sprung clutch kit for your 2000-2003 BMW M5 features a 267mm disc diameter, a solid choice for drivers looking to upgrade from the factory setup. This kit is built to handle the power of the E39 M5's 5.0L V8 engine, offering a more robust engagement and better longevity than stock components, especially if you're pushing your car a bit harder or have made other performance modifications. The sprung hub design on the clutch disc helps absorb drivetrain shock, which can lead to a smoother engagement and reduce stress on other components like the transmission and differential.

Clutch Masters is known for well-built clutch components, and this FX250 kit is no exception. It includes a high-performance pressure plate that works in conjunction with the upgraded clutch disc to provide a firm clamping force. This means you get a more positive connection between the engine and drivetrain, translating to more direct power transfer to the wheels. The kit is designed as a direct replacement for the stock clutch, meaning it fits right into the existing bellhousing without requiring significant modifications, though proper alignment and installation are always key for optimal performance and lifespan. You'll notice a firmer pedal feel compared to the original clutch, which is typical for performance upgrades like this, and it offers a good balance between street drivability and track-ready performance.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to resurface or replace your flywheel to ensure a perfectly flat mating surface for the new clutch components. This is a crucial step that helps prevent premature wear and ensures smooth operation. While this kit is designed for improved performance, it's always recommended to follow the manufacturer's specific installation instructions and torque specifications to get the most out of your new Clutch Masters clutch. This upgrade is a solid option for M5 owners who want a clutch that can keep up with their driving style.
