Clutch Masters FX400 8 Puck Single Disc Clutch Kit 06 Baja / 06-11 Forester / 05-09 Legacy | 170% Holding Capacity | High-Durability Clutch Kit
Overview
The Clutch Masters FX400 8 Puck Single Disc Clutch Kit is engineered for Subaru models including the 2006 Baja, 2006-2011 Forester, and 2005-2009 Legacy. Designed for enthusiasts who demand extreme holding capacity and durability, this clutch kit excels in both street and road/drag racing applications. It features a heavy-duty sprung ceramic disc paired with a Power Plus I, Hi-Leverage pressure plate, delivering a robust 170% increase in holding capacity over stock clutches. This makes it ideal for high-torque setups and aggressive driving styles.
Clutch Masters approaches clutch design with a focus on performance and reliability. The FX400 system utilizes premium ceramic friction material and a sprung hub design to balance rapid engagement with street-friendly dampening. Unlike solid or rigid discs, the sprung hub reduces drivetrain shock and chatter, enhancing drivability without sacrificing strength. The 8-puck configuration offers a less aggressive engagement compared to the 6-puck option, making it better suited for street-driven vehicles that still require serious performance.
For Subaru owners, this clutch kit provides a significant upgrade in holding power and heat dissipation, essential for modified engines and spirited driving. The ceramic disc’s design ensures quick engagement and minimal chatter, improving throttle response and control. While ceramic clutches are not intended to extend clutch life, the FX400 kit’s durability and performance make it a reliable choice for those pushing their Subaru’s drivetrain limits.
