Clutch Masters FX400 8 Puck Single Disc Clutch Kit 06 Baja / 06-11 Forester / 05-09 Legacy | 170% Holding Capacity Increase | High-Duty Clutch Kit
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 as an extreme duty street and road/drag racing clutch system, this kit delivers a significant 170% increase in holding capacity over stock clutches. It combines a heavy-duty pressure plate with a custom sprung ceramic disc, offering a balance of aggressive performance and street-friendly drivability.
At the core of the FX400 system is the Power Plus I, Hi-Leverage, Heavy-Duty Pressure Plate paired with an 8-puck ceramic disc featuring a sprung hub design. This construction allows for moderate dampening of drivetrain vibrations and torque spikes, reducing harsh engagement and clutch chatter common in solid disc setups. Clutch Masters’ use of premium ceramic friction material ensures rapid heat dissipation and durability, making it a standout choice for Subaru owners who demand both performance and reliability.
For Subaru drivers, especially those with tuned or high-torque setups, this clutch kit offers quick and smooth engagement with minimal chatter, enhancing throttle response and control. The inclusion of a steel flywheel further improves clutch holding power and heat management, making it ideal for spirited street driving and competitive motorsports applications. This configuration supports the Subaru ownership experience by delivering consistent performance under demanding conditions.
