Product Description Part # 05-095-HDB4
Clutchmasters FX500 Stage 5 Clutch Kit (4 Puck)
Heavy duty pressure plate.   4 PUCK rigid disc for immediate engagement.
Brief Description : Major power adders
Holding Capacity : 200-400% increase
Engmnt : Immediate
This is considered a race-only application.  This clutch is not designed for daily-driving.  FX500 utilizes a rigid 4 PUCK disc without springs.  Engagement is immediate.  Please be advised that life expectancy is reduced when using race clutches.  Please contact Clutch Masters for proper diagnosis prior to the purchase of race-only clutch kits.  We commonly find that this clutch assembly is used in street driven applications where large amounts of NOS is being used where budget is an issue.
The versatile FX500 System uses either the Power Plus I or Power Plus II Pressure Plate along with a solid center 4 wing (paddle) Ceramic Button disc. It is designed for maximum holding capacity with no compromises.
Warning: The FX500 is a Solid Hub (rigid) disc that engages and disengages instantly. This is a Race Only clutch.
FX500 (Stage V)
– Custom built racing-only systems
– Holding capacity 200-400% over stock
– Built to your exact requirements

About ClutchMasters
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.
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.
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-Leveragetm ttechnique Clutch Masters has increased clamping power often without changing pedal pressure.
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.
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.
No release bearing is included, you would need reuse your OEM bearing or purchase seperately.
