Overview

The Clutch Masters FX500 is a high-performance clutch kit designed specifically for Nissan 240SX models equipped with a 2.4L engine from 1991 to 1998, starting from July 1990 production. Engineered for enthusiasts who demand maximum holding capacity and rapid engagement, this clutch system is ideal for spirited street driving, track days, and racing applications. Whether you're upgrading your stock clutch for increased power or seeking a reliable solution for aggressive driving, the FX500 delivers exceptional performance and durability.

This clutch kit combines a robust pressure plate with a high-friction disc, ensuring your vehicle can handle increased horsepower and torque without compromise. The FX500 is built to support aggressive driving styles, making it a popular choice among tuners and racers looking for a reliable, race-only clutch solution that can withstand demanding conditions.

Key Features

The FX500 system features advanced materials and innovative design elements to optimize performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Power Plus II Pressure Plate: Provides maximum clamping force to handle high power levels, ensuring consistent engagement and slip-free operation under demanding conditions.
• Sintered Iron Friction Material: Utilizes a high-grade sintered iron disc that offers excellent heat dissipation, increased durability, and superior holding capacity. This material is ideal for high-performance applications where heat management is critical.
• Rigid 6 Puck Disc: The six-puck design ensures rapid engagement and improved throttle response, making it suitable for aggressive driving and racing scenarios.
• Instant Engagement: The solid hub design engages and disengages quickly, providing a direct and responsive feel for the driver.
• Heat Dissipation: The sintered iron friction material rapidly disperses heat generated during high-intensity driving, reducing the risk of fade and extending component life.
• Race-Only Design: This clutch is intended for race use and may chatter upon starting from a stop, which is typical for race-oriented clutch systems with aggressive puck designs.

Construction & Design

The FX500 clutch kit is built with high-quality, race-grade components to withstand the rigors of high-performance driving. The pressure plate features a durable Power Plus II design, offering increased clamping force and consistent performance. The clutch disc is constructed from sintered iron, a material known for its excellent heat resistance and friction properties, ensuring reliable operation during intense sessions. The six-puck configuration provides a balance between aggressive engagement and manageable pedal effort, making it suitable for drivers who want maximum performance without sacrificing drivability.

All components are precisely engineered to fit the Nissan 240SX's specifications, ensuring a perfect, bolt-on installation. The kit includes all necessary hardware and components for a straightforward upgrade, allowing you to enhance your vehicle's clutch performance with confidence.

Installation & Fitment

The FX500 clutch kit is a bolt-on upgrade that requires no modifications to the transmission or flywheel. Installation involves replacing the stock clutch components with the included high-performance parts. Due to its race-only nature, some drivability characteristics such as chatter and engagement feel may differ from OEM setups. No special tuning is required, but it is recommended to inspect and possibly upgrade your flywheel for optimal performance and longevity.
