16-20 Camaro 2.0L FX300 Clutch Kit - Clutch Masters

FITS 2016-2020 CAMARO ( LS/LT MODELS )

DESCRIPTION:

Increase clutch holding capacity while maintaining street-friendly drivability in your 2016-2020 Chevrolet Camaro 2.0L Turbo 6-speed manual with the Clutch Masters 04302-HDTZ-X FX300 Clutch Kit. Designed for serious street enthusiasts with substantially modified vehicles, the FX300 combines Clutch Masters' Power Plus I Heavy-Duty Pressure Plate with a steel-backed segmented Kevlar friction disc to deliver a manufacturer-rated 110% increase in holding capacity. The FX300 is positioned as a high-performance street clutch for Camaro owners who need more torque capacity while still wanting predictable engagement and manageable pedal effort. Clutch Masters recommends the FX300 for highly tuned naturally aspirated engines with modifications such as cylinder head work or cams, medium-boost turbo or supercharger combinations, and applications using up to a 100-horsepower nitrous system. At the heart of the FX300 is its heavy-duty segmented Kevlar clutch disc. Rather than using a conventional full-face friction surface, Clutch Masters arranges its Kevlar friction material in a segmented format. According to Clutch Masters, this configuration creates greater pressure per square inch, increasing torque-holding capability while retaining excellent service life. The Kevlar friction material is also non-abrasive, helping prevent scoring of the clutch's mating surfaces. This characteristic, combined with the FX300's long-life friction material, makes it especially attractive for performance street vehicles where increased holding capacity is required without immediately moving to an aggressive ceramic or puck-style competition clutch. Clutch Masters equips the FX300 disc with a heavy-duty sprung hub when applicable and a Marcel spring wafer. These features help provide controlled, progressive clutch engagement while absorbing some drivetrain shock. Despite its substantially increased holding capacity, Clutch Masters states that the FX300 produces only slightly increased pedal pressure compared with stock and provides positive engagement. For the Camaro 2.0L Turbo application, the FX300 is a conversion-style clutch system designed to work with the Clutch Masters FW-302-AL Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel. The factory flywheel is not compatible, and the required Clutch Masters flywheel is sold separately. The slave cylinder is also not included with this kit. The FX300 is specifically a street-oriented performance clutch. Although Clutch Masters describes it as suitable for serious street enthusiasts and modified vehicles, the manufacturer explicitly recommends the FX300 for street use rather than track use. A minimum 500-mile break-in period is required before aggressive operation. For Camaro 2.0L Turbo owners who have progressed beyond basic bolt-on modifications and need a substantial increase in clutch capacity, the Clutch Masters 04302-HDTZ-X FX300 provides an excellent combination of torque capacity, Kevlar durability, positive engagement, and reasonable street manners.
