Clutchmasters Short Shift (or SS) series of billet aluminum clutch covers were designed to take a typical single disc clutch kit to that next level of performance. The goal of their engineers was to develop a clutch kit that was street friendly, allowed for faster shifts, lighter rotating mass, and the consistent pedal feel you expect from a clutch on the track. To accomplish this they took everything learned from decades of perfecting their Twin Disc clutch kits and designed it around the fitment of an OE style clutch cover.
Features of Short Shift Billet Clutch Kits:
- Shorter, faster, more precise shifts
- 10% lighter then OE stamped steel cover
- Fits stock single disc flywheel (or any aftermarket single disc flywheel designed for OE style clutch kits)
- Heavier diaphragm allows more clamping force to be obtained
- Modified pivot point on steel pressure plate casting makes pedal feel minimally heavier then a stock clutch.
- Works with factory hydraulics (For best results we recommend our internal hydraulic release bearing and master cylinder upgrades)
- Comes with new throw out bearing specifically designed to take advantage of the short throw of the clutch
The versatile FX500 System uses the Power Plus II Pressure Plate along with a solid (rigid, unsprung) center 6 Puck Ceramic Button disc or a Sintered Iron Disc (available upon request). The FX500 disc is designed for outstanding holding capacity and rapid heat dissipation.
Features:
- Power Plus II Pressure Plate
- Hi-Leverage Design
- Ductile Iron Casting (when applicable)
- Heavy-Duty Straps
- Precision Heat Treated Diaphragms (2 stacked)
- Special Friction Reducing Lubricant to Eliminate Diaphragm Binding
- Exceptionally High Clamping Force
- ***Heavy Pedal Pressure***
The FX500 ceramic paddle design creates a quick and rapid engagement as well as clutch chatter that is not recommended for the street.
Custom full drag race FX500 systems utilizing the Sintered Iron friction material are designed for, and thrive, under the most extreme conditions. This system is custom built for the specific application. Please call us with your special requirements for pricing and availability.
Warning: The FX500 is a Solid Hub (rigid) disc that engages and disengages instantly. This is a Race Only clutch.

*Ceramic based clutch discs are not intended to increase the life expectancy of a clutch rather to increase the holding capacity and improve the durability of the clutch. Using a ceramic based material for easy street driving may reduce the life of the clutch kit due to harsh engagement and higher tendency to slip the clutch kit. Ceramic discs are never recommended for stock or near stock vehicle applications.
