Overview
The Clutch Masters FX400 8 Puck Single Disc Clutch Kit is engineered for Subaru models including the Baja (2003–2006), Crosstrek (2013–2017), Forester (1997–2012), Impreza (1994–2021), and Legacy (1990–2014). Designed for enthusiasts who demand extreme holding capacity and durability, this clutch kit is ideal for street-driven vehicles that see occasional track or drag use. It offers a significant upgrade over stock clutches with a 170% increase in holding capacity, making it suitable for high-torque applications and performance builds.
At the core of the FX400 system is the Power Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate paired with a custom sprung ceramic disc featuring an 8-puck configuration. This design balances aggressive engagement with street-friendly drivability by incorporating a sprung hub that provides moderate dampening, reducing harshness and chatter common in solid disc setups. Clutch Masters focuses on premium ceramic friction materials and robust construction to ensure long life and rapid heat dissipation, setting this clutch apart in both reliability and performance.
For Subaru owners, this clutch kit delivers a noticeable improvement in engagement feel and holding power without sacrificing street manners. The 8-puck ceramic disc offers quick, smooth engagement with minimal chatter, making it a practical choice for daily drivers who want race-capable durability. This clutch is especially beneficial for those upgrading their turbocharged or naturally aspirated engines where stock clutches fall short under increased torque loads.
