Heavy duty pressure plate. 6-puck rigid ceramic disc. Rigid disc.
7-Speed manual transmission
Clutch Masters single disc clutch kits are true high performance clutch systems which are technologically superior to anything currently on the market. By re-engineering the leverage or fulcrum point on the pressure plate through our Hi-Leveragetm technique, we have been able to increase clamping power, often without changing pedal pressure. Our Hi-Leveragetm technology allows us to move the pressure plate leverage ring closer to the pivot point. Doing this has allowed us to solve the clamping vs. pedal pressure problem in a unique way. By moving the pressure ring pivot point, our Hi-Leveragetm Pressure Plates take mechanical advantage of the leverage principle. By moving the leverage ring closer to the pivot point as well as re-arching and precisely heat treating the clutch diaphragm, the pressure applied to the clutch disc is increased significantly without unnecessarily increasing pedal pressure, as is typically the case with other aftermarket clutch options. Moving the pivot point takes several extra steps to accomplish when manufacturing our clutches in order for them to work flawlessly with OEM stamped covers and is something we've perfected through our over 40 years of industry expertise.
In addition to our ability to increase clamping pressure without increasing pedal pressure, there are some other key advantages realized when using our Hi-Leverage technology. One serious problem associated with increased pedal pressure is it increases the chances of damaging the crank thrust bearing, inherently leading to crank-walk. Increased pedal pressure can put additional strain and fatigue on clutch linkages, throw out bearings and hydraulic systems causing them to fail prematurely.
All stages come as a complete kit including disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, pilot bearing (when applicable), and alignment tool. (Individual components available upon request)
FX500 - 200-400% Increased Holding Capacity - RACE ONLY
The versatile FX500 System uses our Power Plus II Pressure Plate along with a solid (rigid, unsprung) center 6 or 8 Puck Ceramic Button disc or a Sintered Iron Disc. The FX500 disc is designed for outstanding holding capacity and rapid heat dissipation.
FEATURES
- Power Plus II Pressure Plate
- Hi-Leverage Design
- Ductile Iron Casting (when applicable)
- Heavy-Duty Straps
- Precision Heat Treated Diaphragms (2 stacked)
- Special Fricition Reducing Lubricant to Eliminate Diaphragm Binding
- Exceptionally High Clamping Force
- Heavy Pedal Pressure
The FX500 ceramic paddle design creates a quick and rapid engagement as well as clutch chatter that is not recommended for the street. Custom full drag race FX500 systems utilizing the Sintered Iron friction material are designed for, and thrive, under the most extreme conditions. This system is custom built for the specific application. Please call us with your special requirements for pricing and availability.
Warning: The FX500 is a Solid Hub (rigid) disc that engages and disengages instantly. This is a Race Only clutch.
All stages come as a complete kit including disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, pilot bearing (when applicable), and alignment tool. (Individual components available upon request)
*Ceramic based clutch discs are not intended to increase the life expectancy of a clutch rather to increase the holding capacity and improve the durability of the clutch. Using a ceramic based material for easy street driving may reduce the life of the clutch kit due to harsh engagement and higher tendency to slip the clutch kit. Ceramic discs are never recommended for stock or near stock vehicle applications.
