Every vehicle, driver, and scenario is different. Depending on the amount of power you are making and the intent/ purpose of the vehicle should dictate what clutch kit will best suit you. If you are looking for a clutch kit that will be smooth, reliable, and street friendly then a FX100 – FX350 will be suitable and recommended. If you are making a reasonable amount of TQ and require a clutch kit that will be able to withstand a large amount of abuse on a frequent basis then a FX400 will be a good option.
Organic/ Formula Button and made with Kevlar Clutch kits are expected and tend to have a higher life expectancy than OEM, however not guaranteed. Improper Installation, Driving style, performance upgrades, Break in procedure and light weight flywheels will effect and have a role in determining the life expectancy of the clutch kit. Ceramic based clutch disc is 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. Life expectancy of a twin disc is subjective. The driving characteristics of the driver and setup of the vehicle will dictate the life expectancy of the clutch kit. Using a twin disc on the street on a daily driven vehicle under normal driving conditions may reduce the life expectancy of the clutch kit since you are more prone to slip the discs.
Clutch Masters does not advertise specific Torque rates due to the wide range of possible scenarios that will neglect the TQ rating estimates. Torque ratings can be deceiving since it does not take into consideration the factors that will alter and drastically change the holding capacity of a clutch kit such as tire size, driving style, naturally aspirated vs forced induction, or nitrous. All of these factors and elements play a major role in determining the torque rating capacity of a clutch kit. Please contact a Clutch Masters representative if you are unsure or have more questions regarding Torque ratings.

A majority of individual components are available depending on the application. Clutch Masters never recommends replacing individual components on a clutch kit since the slightest difference in measurements will have a major effect on the clutch kit. There is absolutely no warranty on individual components and will not accept any returns on individual components.
By re-engineering the pressure plate leverage ring (moving it closer to the pivot point), Clutch Masters solves the clamping vs. pedal pressure problem in a unique way. By moving the pressure ring, Clutch Masters Hi-Leverage™ Pressure Plates take mechanical advantage of the leverage principle. By moving the leverage ring closer to the pivot point, the pressure applied to the plate is increased significantly without unnecessarily increasing pedal pressure, as is typically the case in other clutches. This Hi-Leverage™ feature is unique to the high-performance clutch industry.
Replacing your OEM flywheel with a light weight flywheel may cause gear noise or a vibration that may not be suitable for everyone. The lighter the flywheel the more gear noise will be produced. Depending on the application Clutch Masters usually recommends Steel flywheels rather than Aluminum flywheels since Aluminum flywheels will cause more gear noise. Aluminum flywheels are usually only recommended for race applications looking to have the least amount of weight as possible.
Yes, Replaceable flywheel inserts are available on our website under the “Flywheel Insert” selection. You will need to know the Inside diameter, Outside diameter and the Number of fasteners that are used to attach the insert with the flywheel. Flywheel inserts orders will include new set of flange nuts and socket cap screws. Clutch Masters special thin wall sockets are available as well if needed.
