Clutchmaster FX350
Just installed this and have been driving around now for about 300kms. Great product I must say, ..so far. Initial feel.. slightly lighter pedal pressure than stock, which is really surprising. I was expecting a performance clutch to be much heavier. Clutch bite point is a fair bit lower too, great for quick getaways and I find it nicer. However because I'm still running it in (with my old flywheel) I haven't done any hard pulls or launches so can't comment for now. There is a slight bearing rattle noise (when balancing the clutch) while performing slow manoeuvres like parking though. Will update after break-in.. |

How many miles has your car done? Stock power? If not how long was tune on before clutch went? What was the condition of the flywheel
I think I might go same route as you. |

Done with the break-in. But only did a couple of traffic light launches from idle.. no issues with the clutch. Hasn't slipped even after dropping a gear ! Forgot to mention that my car has the CDV removed too, which was probably why the stock clutch couldn't handle aggressive gear changes.
Only thing I've noticed that's annoying is the traction control comes on a lot more now. I've had to use MDM lately. |

Done about 22,000kms. AFE CAI, BMS charge pipe (> stock one broke), mid cats removed. But I noticed even when the car was stock it couldn't handle aggressive gear changes.. this is after CDV removal though. I wanted to do a tune very badly but thought it would be useless since the clutch can't handle the torque & traction was the other issue. I still used the stock clutch for about 10,000+ kms thereafter, just had to be very gentle when changing gears during hard accelerations. Kept my flywheel, had a couple of burn-ins but the metal was still smooth & even wear. What did it for me was after taking a Ferrari California at the lights on 1st gear (> car's length), shifted to 2nd and slippage! Last edited by OneM; 01-22-2015 at 10:45 AM.. |

Mine also slip from 1st to 2nd when starting very agressively against a 7 series after the M6 presentation in Belgium. Since this day clutch was never again perfect. Replaced with Sachs kit... But even with him, flywheel was not changed, it burn.
Now 17000 everything is changed again, flywheel + sachs kit+pressure plate + bearing. Now it can handle the power of the ECU tune |

No issues with the clutch. Its been doing its job fine, never slipped with spirited driving or launches (from idle) .. although I don't track the car so not sure how it'll perform in extreme temperatures
Pedal feel wise, slightly lighter than stock and can get bitey in 1st gear, more so with aircon off |
