Organic friction disc for upgrade over OEM but with stock-like feel and behavior.

The Clutch Masters FX100 performance clutch for the E46 M3 has all of the benefits of a stock clutch with a little extra grabbing power to handle your upgrades. The FX100 uses organic clutch materials with Clutch Master's advanced pressure plate to give up to 70% more holding capacity without any more pedal pressure than stock. Clutch Masters is the most advanced BMW clutch upgrade on the market - offering more clutch options and design innovation than any other brand.

The pressure plate in the FX100 is the key to its impressive performance. Clutch Masters is the only US performance clutch brand to make their own pressure plates in-house (most other companies use a re-branded Sachs part). Not only does this let them control quality to a very high degree but they are able to design a new pressure plate from the ground up. Clutch Masters re-engineered pressure plate design to introduce their Hi-LeverageTM pressure plate with less pedal effort than other performance clutches. By moving the spring plate closer to the fulcrum point, less force is required to push on the diaphragm springs. Pressure plates are also over-built with stronger drive straps and heavy-duty rivets - two of the common failure points on stock clutches.

The FX100 is best used on stock or mildly-tuned naturally aspirated E46 M3 models. It works best in a daily driver, sport street, or autocross environment where you want smooth engagement, low noise, and low wear. As a performance clutch it will stand up to normal use and some hard launches but has its limitations for hard driving and abuse. For serious autocross or dedicated track days, the FX250 would be a better choice.

SMG Note: we've had success and difficulty with customers using any non-OEM clutch kit with the SMG. Since the problem cases have not been local and we have not been able to inspect, we cannot say for sure what causes drivability and shifting issues with the SMG and an upgraded clutch. Some SMG cars have worked completely fine. For any stock or mildly-tuned SMG car that does not need an upgraded clutch, or for owners who value easy drivability above all else, we would first recommend an OEM clutch for SMG. The above applies to SMG only - we have had zero issues with manuals.

Kit includes organic sprung-hub clutch disc, Hi-LeverageTM pressure plate, HD throw-out bearing, and clutch alignment tool. The sprung-hub disc must be used with a single-mass flywheel (steel or aluminum lightweight).
