The Clutch Masters FX850 Strapped Twin Disc Clutch Kit represents a breakthrough in high-performance clutch technology, specifically engineered to bridge the gap between single disc street driveability and extreme racing capability. This complete kit includes a precision-machined steel flywheel and hydraulic release bearing for push-type conversion applications.
Advanced Strapped Design:
Unlike traditional twin disc clutches, the FX850 Strapped utilizes drive straps to isolate the pressure plate and mid-plate between the two discs, virtually eliminating chatter and providing smooth engagement for extended street use. This proven methodology delivers a clutch that can be driven comfortably on the street while withstanding punishment on the track, all with manageable pedal pressure.
Key Features:
- 8.5-inch (216mm) twin disc design optimized for smaller bell-housing applications
- Billet aluminum cover assembly machined and Type 3 hard anodized for maximum strength
- 25% more tensile strength than cast competitors with only .003 inches of flex versus .030 inches in cast units
- One sprung ceramic disc and one rigid disc configuration for optimal power transfer
- QR (Quick Release) pressure plate system with three spring-loaded bolts for smooth, even engagement
- Steel flywheel precision CNC-machined from 1045 steel billet and zero-balanced
- Hydraulic release bearing included for push-type conversion setup
- 50% increase in pedal pressure compared to stock (application dependent)
- Designed and manufactured in the USA
Technical Specifications:
- Disc Diameter: 8.5 inches (216mm)
- Flywheel Material: 1045 steel billet
- Cover Material: Billet aluminum, Type 3 hard anodized
- Configuration: Twin disc with strapped design

Performance Benefits:
The billet aluminum construction eliminates flex that wastes pedal travel, ensuring all driver input is used solely to engage and disengage the clutch. This results in consistent, confident clutch operation and superior clamping force across the entire disc area. The FX850 Strapped holds tremendous horsepower and torque while maintaining street driveability that was previously impossible with traditional twin disc designs.
Important Installation Note:
This is a complete conversion kit designed to work exclusively with the included Clutch Masters steel flywheel. It will not work with OEM flywheels. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper setup and break-in procedures are followed.
