FX500SS

Well what do ya know, Toyota actually listened to everyone and released the MK5 Supra with a manual transmission! What they apparently missed however, was the fact that people are already pushing the B58 engine to the limit and making some incredible power. They equipped the car with a single disc clutch and a chunky dual mass flywheel. Well, Clutch Masters to the rescue! Being a premium car, we developed a premium clutch kit for the MK5 Supra 6-speed manual.

We designed an OE style clutch cover that is made of billet aluminum to take a typical single disc clutch kit to that next level of performance. From the get go our engineers sat down 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 we took everything we've learned from decades of perfecting our Twin Disc clutch kits and designed it around the fitment of an OE style clutch cover. We are dubbing this line of clutch kits, our Short Shift series. In the Supra application, we are using the diaphragm from our 850 Series Twin Disc. By doing this we've created something we feel is perfect for those enthusiasts that want every last bit of performance they can eke out of their car. The Short Shift series of clutch kits are perfect for the daily driven street car as well as a dedicated race car that doesn't quite make the power to necessitate a twin disc (although a 1000 Series Twin Disc is available as well)

Features of Short Shift Billet Clutch Kits:

• Shorter, faster, more precise shifts
• 10% lighter then OE stamped steel cover
• Will fit stock single disc dual mass flywheel if ordered with a rigid hub instead of sprung. (We highly suggest using our lightweight steel or aluminum flywheel with our sprung hub clutch kits)
• Heavier diaphragm allows more clamping force to be obtained
• Modified pivot point on steel 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)
• Available in several different disc material configurations for street or track use 

Warning: The FX500SS is a Solid Hub (rigid) disc that engages and disengages instantly. This is a Race Only clutch.

The versatile FX500SS System uses our Power Plus II Pressure Plate along with a solid (rigid, unsprung) center 6 Puck Ceramic Button disc or a Sintered Iron Disc. The FX500 disc is designed for outstanding holding capacity and rapid heat dissipation.

The FX500SS 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.

All stages come as a complete kit including disc, pressure plate, throw out bearing, pilot bearing (when applicable), and alignment tool. (Individual components available upon request)

*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.
