• Easy Installation: Engineered for direct bolt-on fitment, requiring no modifications to your vehicle's transmission or chassis.

Construction & Design

The FX400 clutch system features a meticulously engineered design that emphasizes durability and performance. The Power Plus I Pressure Plate is crafted from high-grade steel, offering a high clamp load to support increased horsepower and torque. The sprung ceramic disc is custom-made with a reinforced ceramic friction material that resists heat and wear, ensuring consistent performance over time. The disc's sprung hub design helps dampen vibrations and shock loads, providing smoother engagement and reducing stress on drivetrain components.

The clutch components are assembled with precision TIG welding and CNC-machined parts to ensure perfect alignment and fitment. The use of high-quality ceramics and steel enhances heat dissipation, preventing fade during aggressive driving or prolonged use. The overall design balances aggressive grip with street-friendly engagement, making it suitable for daily drivers who push their vehicles to the limit.

Installation & Fitment

The FX400 Clutch Kit is a direct replacement for the factory clutch in the 2013–2019 Cadillac ATS equipped with 2.0L Turbo or 3.6L V6 engines. Installation is straightforward for experienced technicians, as it uses OEM mounting points and requires no modifications to the transmission or chassis. No cutting, drilling, or tuning is necessary, making it a convenient upgrade for performance enthusiasts.
