Overview
The Clutch Masters FX400 8 Puck Single Disc Clutch Kit is engineered for Subaru enthusiasts seeking a robust upgrade for their 2006 Baja, 2006-2011 Forester, and 2005-2009 Legacy models. Designed to handle extreme street and road/drag racing demands, this clutch kit significantly increases holding capacity by 170%, making it ideal for high-torque applications and performance builds. The 8-puck configuration offers a balance between aggressive engagement and street drivability, catering to drivers who want enhanced performance without sacrificing daily usability.
Built around the Power Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate paired with a custom sprung ceramic disc, the FX400 system emphasizes durability and rapid heat dissipation.

Clutch Masters’ focus on premium ceramic friction material and a marcel cushion between disc linings ensures smooth, quick engagement and long-lasting performance under demanding conditions.

Its design allows for improved clutch holding capacity without compromising street manners, making it a practical choice for those upgrading their drivetrain for spirited driving or motorsport applications. While ceramic discs excel in durability and heat management, they are best suited for modified vehicles and are not recommended for stock or near-stock setups due to their engagement characteristics.
