Clutch Masters FX400 6 Puck Single Disc Clutch Kit 04-05 Baja / 04-05 Forester | 170% Holding Capacity | High-Performance Clutch Kit
Overview
The Clutch Masters FX400 6 Puck Single Disc Clutch Kit is engineered for Subaru Baja and Forester models from 2004 to 2005, delivering a substantial 170% increase in holding capacity over stock clutches. Designed for extreme street and road/drag racing applications, this kit is ideal for enthusiasts seeking aggressive clutch engagement and enhanced durability under high torque loads. The 6-puck ceramic disc configuration offers rapid engagement, making it a preferred choice for drivers who demand quick throttle response and precise control.
Built around the Power Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate and a sprung ceramic disc, the FX400 system balances aggressive performance with street usability. The sprung hub design provides moderate dampening to reduce drivetrain shock and improve drivability compared to solid hub designs. Clutch Masters’ use of premium ceramic friction material ensures excellent heat dissipation and long-lasting performance, even in demanding conditions. This kit stands out for its race-proven construction and attention to durability, making it a reliable upgrade for Subaru owners pushing their vehicles beyond stock limits.
For Subaru drivers, especially those with tuned or modified Baja and Forester models, this clutch kit offers a significant upgrade in torque capacity and engagement sharpness. While the 6-puck design may produce some chatter during first gear and reverse due to its solid friction rivet construction, it delivers the aggressive feel and holding power needed for spirited driving and motorsport use. This clutch is not recommended for stock or near-stock vehicles due to its aggressive engagement characteristics but excels in high-performance setups where clutch slip and heat resistance are critical.
