This Clutch Masters FX100 kit gives you about 70% more holding capacity than stock while keeping the\n  smooth, daily-friendly feel you want in a car like this. One big thing you have to know before you order,\n  though: this kit needs an aftermarket single-mass flywheel to work. That's not a small detail, so read the\n  next part before you buy.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eImportant: You Need A Single-Mass Flywheel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Here's the deal, and it's the thing that'll trip you up if you miss it. Your TL came from the factory with a\n  dual-mass flywheel and a rigid (non-sprung) clutch disc. This FX100 kit uses a sprung disc instead, and that\n  sprung disc will only work with an aftermarket single-mass flywheel, it will not bolt up to your stock\n  dual-mass unit. So you need to grab the matching single-mass flywheel, Clutch Masters part FW-147-AL, along\n  with this clutch. Buy them together and you're set. Try to run this clutch on your factory flywheel and it\n  won't work, so don't skip the flywheel.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy That Conversion Is A Good Thing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Don't sweat the single-mass requirement, because it's actually an upgrade. Those factory dual-mass\n  flywheels are heavy and have springs inside that wear out and start rattling as the miles pile up, and\n  they're not cheap to replace with another dual-mass. Going to a single-mass flywheel ditches all that, you\n  get a lighter, more responsive, more durable setup with nothing inside to fail. And since this clutch uses a\n  sprung disc, that disc takes over the job of smoothing out engagement, so you keep things civil even without\n  the dual-mass. It's the standard, proven way to set these cars up.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWho It's Dialed In For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  On the power side, the FX100 is the streetable end of the range. It's built for a street-driven TL with\n  minor bolt-ons, think an intake, an exhaust, up to around 50 horsepower of nitrous, or similar\n  non-forced-induction stuff. For that kind of car it's the sweet spot: more clamp to hold your power, longer\n  life than the factory clutch, and no race-clutch harshness. If you're boosted or chasing bigger numbers,\n  step up to a stronger FX level, but for a clean street setup, this is the one.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSmooth To Drive\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Even with the extra holding power, this thing stays easy to live with. The steel-backed organic disc uses a\n  Marcel spring wafer between the friction faces for soft, progressive engagement instead of an on-off grab,\n  so it takes up clean and predictable every time. Pedal effort is only a touch heavier than stock, and it\n  engages and disengages with normal, factory-like feel. You get the capability without dreading traffic.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eMore Clamp, From The Power Plus Plate\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  That 70% bump in holding capacity comes from Clutch Masters' Power Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate. The\n  extra clamping force keeps the clutch from slipping once you've freed up more power, so you can actually put\n  it to the ground. It's built for extended wear too, so it holds up to daily driving.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's In The Kit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  This kit sets you up with the clutch side of the job:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty steel-backed organic disc with a Marcel spring wafer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOEM-or-better release bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePilot bearing (when applicable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlignment tool, instruction card, and decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Remember, the single-mass flywheel (FW-147-AL) is required and sold separately, so add one to your order to\n  complete the setup.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClutch Masters FX100 clutch kit for the 2009-2014 Acura TL SH-AWD (3.7L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAbout 70% more holding capacity than stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSprung, steel-backed organic disc with a Marcel spring wafer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires an aftermarket single-mass flywheel (FW-147-AL, sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease bearing, pilot bearing (where applicable), alignment tool, and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits These Cars\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009-2014 Acura TL SH-AWD (3.7L, 6-speed manual)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Note: Clutch Masters FX100 clutch kit for the 2009-2014 Acura TL SH-AWD (3.7L) with a manual transmission.\n  Provides approximately 70% more holding capacity than stock using the Power Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate\n  and a sprung, steel-backed organic disc with a Marcel spring wafer for smooth engagement. This kit uses a\n  sprung disc that requires an aftermarket single-mass flywheel (Clutch Masters FW-147-AL, sold separately)\n  and will not work with the factory dual-mass flywheel. The FX100 is the streetable performance level, suited\n  to street-driven cars with minor bolt-ons such as intake and exhaust, up to about 50hp of nitrous, or other\n  non-forced-induction modifications; higher-power or forced-induction builds should step up to a stronger FX\n  level. Includes the disc, pressure plate, an OEM-or-better release bearing, a pilot bearing (when\n  applicable), an alignment tool, an instruction card, and decals. Clutch life is affected by installation,\n  driving style, added performance, break-in procedure, and lightweight flywheels, and is not guaranteed. One\n  clutch kit per order.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n 2009-2014 Acura TL SH-AWD \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"Included\"\u003e\n(1) Pressure Plate\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Clutch Disc\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Alignment Tool\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Throw Out Bearing\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Pilot Bushing\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"InstallGuide\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Clutch Masters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45915655307298,"sku":"CLM-08147-HD00-D","price":594.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/e2b1f79d264a9d0387be836985833dec.jpg?v=1783536179","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/clutch-masters-fx100-clutch-kit-for-09-14-acura-tl-sh-awd","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
