Product Description

The Clutch Masters 16616-HDCL is an FX400 series single disc clutch kit designed for the 2023-2025 Toyota GR Corolla equipped with the 1.6L G16E-GTS turbocharged 3-cylinder engine, 6-speed iMT manual transmission, and GR-FOUR all-wheel drive system. With a torque capacity of 475 ft-lbs, this kit provides substantial holding capacity headroom over the factory clutch for GR Corolla owners who have increased power output through tuning, intake, exhaust, downpipe, and intercooler modifications. The 300-horsepower G16E-GTS engine responds aggressively to bolt-on modifications and tuning, quickly exceeding the holding capacity of the factory clutch during spirited driving and track events.

The 8-puck full-face ceramic lined (HDCL) disc is the more street-friendly of Clutch Masters' two FX400 ceramic options for this platform. The full-face design distributes clamping force across a larger surface area than the 6-puck paddle variant, and the marcel cushion between the friction linings provides a small amount of compliance during initial engagement that significantly reduces the clutch chatter inherent to ceramic friction materials. This makes the HDCL disc the preferred choice for GR Corolla owners who daily drive their vehicles and want the holding capacity of a ceramic clutch without the constant chatter in first gear and reverse that the more aggressive 6-puck (HDC6) disc produces.

The Power Plus I pressure plate uses Clutch Masters' Hi-Leverage self-adjusting design to maximize clamping force with controlled pedal effort, protecting the crankshaft thrust bearing from excessive loads. This kit works with the factory OEM flywheel and includes the release bearing, pilot bearing, and alignment tool for a complete installation. For GR Corolla owners seeking the lightest possible rotating mass, Clutch Masters offers lightweight steel (FW-616-SF) and aluminum flywheels sold separately. For a smoother, less aggressive street option, the FX100 (16616-HD00), FX250 (16616-HD0F), and FX350 (16616-HDFF) are available. For dedicated track and race applications requiring maximum holding capacity, the FX500 (16616-HDB6) and the FX725 twin disc (16616-TD7R-SH) are also offered on this platform.
