Product Description

Clutch Masters FW-230-AL is a single-mass aluminum flywheel engineered specifically for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS (2.3L Turbo, AWD, 6-speed manual). By replacing the factory dual-mass unit, it reduces rotational inertia for faster throttle response and improved acceleration while maintaining proper clutch engagement.

The CNC-machined 6061-T6 body uses a replaceable steel friction surface for durability and serviceability. Each unit is precision balanced and built to OE fitment standards, bolting directly to the RS crank without modification. Ideal for performance driving, track days, or spirited street use, with the normal trade-off of increased gear rattle at low RPM inherent to lightweight single-mass designs.
