Key Features

The FX500 system by Clutch Masters incorporates advanced design and materials to optimize performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Power Plus II Pressure Plate: This heavy-duty pressure plate provides increased clamping force, ensuring secure engagement under high torque conditions and supporting maximum power transfer from the engine to the drivetrain.
• Sintered Iron Friction Material: The clutch disc utilizes a sintered iron friction surface, which offers superior heat resistance and durability. This material effectively dissipates heat generated during aggressive driving or racing, reducing the risk of fade and maintaining consistent engagement.
• Rigid 6 Puck Disc: The six-puck design delivers rapid torque transfer and improved throttle response. While offering maximum holding capacity, it engages quickly and can handle high horsepower applications.
• Solid Hub Design: The FX500 features a solid hub disc that engages and disengages instantly, providing a direct and responsive feel. However, note that this design may produce chatter upon starting from a stop, which is typical for race-only clutch systems.
• Race-Only Application: This clutch kit is intended for race use and high-performance driving. It is not recommended for daily street driving due to its aggressive engagement characteristics.

Construction & Design

The FX500 clutch kit is built with durability and performance in mind. The pressure plate is constructed from high-strength steel, engineered to withstand extreme clamping forces without deformation. The sintered iron disc is designed for maximum heat resistance, ensuring reliable operation during intense driving sessions. The six-puck configuration is precisely machined for balanced engagement and minimal vibration, providing a responsive pedal feel. The entire assembly is assembled with high-quality hardware and components, ensuring a perfect fit and long-lasting performance.

Installation & Fitment

The FX500 clutch kit is a bolt-on upgrade that directly replaces the factory clutch components on your Eagle 1G Eclipse or Talon 2.0L non-turbo. Installation requires standard mechanical skills and tools; however, due to the high clamping force and aggressive design, some additional setup or tuning may be beneficial for optimal performance. No cutting, drilling, or modifications are typically necessary, but professional installation is recommended to ensure proper setup and safety.
