Product Description

The Clutch Masters FX400 in this 8-puck ceramic configuration is built for E36 328i and 328is owners who want serious holding capacity for high-end street driving or road racing, without the harsher engagement of the more aggressive 6-puck FX400 variant. The Marcel cushion between the disc linings smooths out engagement noticeably compared to a solid-rivet ceramic disc, making it more tolerable in daily stop-and-go conditions.

This kit pairs the sprung-hub ceramic disc with Clutch Masters' Power Plus I pressure plate for a big step up in clamp load over stock. It's best suited to owners running elevated power levels who still want to drive the car regularly - BimmerWorld notes this is a limited/extreme-use clutch, so it's worth confirming fit for your specific build before ordering.
