Clutch Masters FX400 6 Puck Single Disc Clutch Kit 06 Baja / 06-11 Forester / 05-09 Legacy | 170% Holding Capacity | High-Performance Clutch Kit
Overview
The Clutch Masters FX400 6 Puck Single Disc Clutch Kit is engineered for Subaru models including the 2006 Baja, 2006-2011 Forester, and 2005-2009 Legacy. Designed for enthusiasts seeking a robust upgrade, this clutch system delivers a significant 170% increase in holding capacity over stock units. It is ideal for aggressive street driving and road or drag racing applications where extreme durability and quick engagement are paramount.
Built around the Power Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate paired with a custom sprung ceramic disc, the FX400 kit balances race-grade performance with street usability. The 6-puck ceramic paddle design offers rapid clutch engagement and excellent heat dissipation, while the sprung hub provides moderate dampening to reduce drivetrain shock and improve drivability compared to rigid setups. Clutch Masters’ focus on premium ceramic friction material ensures durability and consistent performance under high torque loads.
For Subaru owners pushing their vehicles beyond stock limits, this clutch kit offers a reliable solution that withstands demanding conditions. While the aggressive engagement may produce some chatter, especially in first and reverse gears, the trade-off is a clutch that holds firm during spirited driving and track use. This makes the FX400 6 Puck an excellent choice for those upgrading their drivetrain for enhanced power handling and durability.
