*Does not include flywheel.
The FX500 System uses the Power Plus II Pressure Plate with the Sintered Iron disc or Rigid three or four puck disc. It is designed for maximum holding capacity with no compromises. Using a Sintered Iron friction material, the FX500 holds all the power and rapidly dissipates unwanted heat. SFI Approved for most race applications. *Warning:* The FX500 is a Solid Hub disc that engages and disengages instantly and may chatter upon starting from a stop. This is a Race Only clutch. This system is custom built for the specific application. Please call with your special requirements. *Features* * Custom built racing-only systems * Holding capacity 200-400% over stock * Built to your exact requirements * High impact solid hub design * SFI Approved on most race applications. *Includes* * Pressure Plate * Clutch Disc * Throw-out Bearing (when applicable) * Pilot Bearing or Bushing (when applicable) * Alignment Tool
High Technology Makes the Difference. Historically, high performance clutches have been a compromise. While improving holding or clamping pressure, manufacturers nearly always increase pedal pressure to an uncomfortable point, especially for stop-and-go traffic. Besides drivability concerns, additional pedal pressure can adversely affect stock clutch linkage and cause premature thrust bearing wear, leading to missed shifts, damaged clutch components, and even engine destruction. Today, thanks to Clutch Masters, increased holding pressure does not necessarily mean increased pedal pressure and the problems that can accompany it. By re-engineering the leverage or fulcrum point on the pressure plate through their Hi-Leveragetm technique, Clutch Masters has increased clamping power, often without changing pedal pressure.
