Construction & Design

The FX400 clutch kit features a meticulously engineered assembly with high-strength components. The Power Plus I Pressure Plate is crafted from durable steel, offering consistent clamping force and resistance to warping under heat. The sprung ceramic disc combines a ceramic friction surface with a sprung hub, which absorbs torsional vibrations and shock loads, prolonging the life of the clutch and drivetrain components.

The design emphasizes precise fitment and ease of installation, utilizing OEM mounting points and hardware. The materials and construction techniques, including TIG welding and CNC-machined parts, ensure durability, heat dissipation, and reliable performance over time. This setup is ideal for drivers who demand a high-performance clutch that can handle aggressive driving while maintaining street comfort.
