Genesis Coupe 2T ClutchMasters Stage 4

Product Description Part # 05-095-HDCB4

Clutchmasters FX400 Stage 4 Clutch Kit (4 Puck)
Heavy duty pressure plate.   4 PUCK ceramic sprung disc for quick engagement and tremendous holding power.
Brief Description : NOS Turbo and/or Super-charger
Holding Capacity : 170% increase
Engmnt : Aggressive

The clutch for aggressive drivers.  This is the perfect road-racing application.  FX400 utilizes a 4 PUCK ceramic sprung disc complemented by a bulletproof hub assembly.  It is designed for cars with significant power upgrades.  Engagement is hard and quick.

The FX400 System uses the Power Plus I Pressure Plate with a custom extremely durable Sprung Ceramic disc. This is the ultimate extreme duty street and/or road/drag racing system. It is available in a 4 wing (paddle) configuration with the 4-wing being the more aggressive setup (please specify which type you prefer). The sprung hub design allows for moderate dampening in high-torque applications rendering it much more streetable than solid or rigid designs. This disc is designed for long life outstanding holding capacity and rapid heat dissipation.

Warning: Due to the solid (no Marcel) friction rivet design the FX400 disc engages very quickly and may chatter slightly in first and reverse. To help alleviate this problem we only use premium ceramic friction material.

A clutch simply put is a friction device that disengages and engages the engine from the transmission to allow for transition from motionless to movement and for gear changes. For street applications a smooth transition of power is essential while still being able to transfer all the power of the engine to the transmission. As power output of engines increase and demands on clutches become greater – for example high performance street or racing cars – the holding and clamping capacity of a clutch also must increase. This is where Clutch Masters innovative engineering comes into play.

Excessively increased pedal pressure as found in many of todays traditional high performance clutches places an unsafe amount of pressure on the delicate crankshaft thrust bearing found in most of todays sport compact automobiles. Placing undue stress on the thrust bearing typically causes the bearing to wear prematurely or fail altogether. This failure can lead to catastrophic internal engine damage.

Today thanks to Clutch Masters increased holding pressure does not necessarily mean increased pedal pressure and the problems that can accompany it. By re-engineering the leverage or fulcrum point on the pressure plate through their Hi-Leverage^tm ttechnique Clutch Masters has increased clamping power often without changing pedal pressure.

Besides drivebility concerns additional pedal pressure can adversely affect stock clutch linkage and cause premature thrust bearing wear leading to missed shifts damaged clutch components and even engine destruction.

Historically high performance clutches have been a compromise. While improving holding or clamping pressure manufacturers nearly always increase pedal pressure to an uncomfortable point especially for stop-and-go traffic.

No release bearing is included, you would need reuse your OEM bearing or purchase seperately.
