About this product

If your 2003, 2004 or 2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4 now spins the clutch every time the turbo comes on boost, this is the drag-focused answer. Clutch Masters part number 05086-TD7R-S is the FX725 Twin Disc in the Race stage, paired with a billet steel flywheel, for the 2.4L turbo SRT-4. It suits cars that have outgrown a single-disc upgrade and spend real time at the strip.

What the FX725 twin disc does in an SRT-4

From the factory the SRT-4 put its turbo 2.4 through a New Venture Gear T-850 five-speed and a high-capacity Sachs clutch, rated for 215 hp in 2003 and 230 hp in 2004-2005. Independent dyno tests showed the car was making more than that, and turbo, injector and tune upgrades push torque well past what the stock clutch was sized for.

The FX725 replaces one large disc with two 7.25 inch (184 mm) discs and a floater plate. Doubling the friction surfaces lets the clutch hold more torque without a brutally heavy pedal, and the small diameter keeps rotating mass low so the engine revs freely between shifts. In the TD7R Race stage both discs are rigid ceramic. The cover is machined from billet aluminum and Type 3 hard anodized, and Clutch Masters says it flexes about .003 inch where a cast or stamped cover can flex up to .030 inch. Their QR quick-release system uses three spring-loaded bolts to help the pressure plate release evenly and cut internal chatter. The included flywheel is machined from a 1045 billet steel core with a black oxide finish.

Be realistic about the Race stage: Clutch Masters says the FX725 is not ideal for the street and is built to handle occasional street driving. Expect quick, on-off engagement and gear and disc rattle at idle.

Symptoms this kit is meant to fix

How to confirm it is the clutch

A slipping clutch shows up as rpm climbing without matching acceleration in the higher gears. Before buying, make sure the hydraulic release is not holding the clutch partly open, the pedal returns fully, and no oil from the rear main or the transmission input seal has reached the disc. Our slipping diagnosis guide walks through the checks, and shift flare vs slip explains how to tell a true slip from other drivetrain behavior.

Fitment

Clutch Masters lists 05086-TD7R-S for the 2003-2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4 with the 2.4L SRT-4 turbo engine only. It is not for the non-turbo Neon or the later Caliber SRT-4. If your car has had a transmission swap, a different flywheel or an aftermarket release system, send us your year and VIN before ordering so we can confirm it bolts up. Shipping weight is about 18 lb.

If you want even more holding power, compare the 725 PRO twin disc for the SRT-4, which uses steel stands in the cover. For a car that sees mostly street miles, a single-disc kit such as the ACT XT street sprung kit or the ACT HD race sprung 6-pad kit listed for the Neon will be much easier to live with; match the ACT code to your SRT-4 before ordering.

Clutch Masters 03-05 Dodge Neon 2.4L SRT-4 Turbo 725 Twin-Disc Race Clutch Kit w/Steel Flywheel: common questions

Will this fit a non-turbo Neon or a Caliber SRT-4?

No. Clutch Masters lists 05086-TD7R-S only for the 2003-2005 Neon SRT-4 with the 2.4L turbo engine.

Is the Race stage OK for a daily driver?

It can be driven on the street occasionally, but both discs are rigid ceramic, so engagement is abrupt and it rattles at idle. Clutch Masters calls the FX725 drag focused; a sprung single disc suits a daily car better.

Does the kit include a flywheel?

Yes. The S at the end of the part number means it comes with a Clutch Masters billet steel flywheel, and the clutch is designed to run on that flywheel.

What is the difference between TD7R and TD7S?

Clutch Masters builds the FX725 in two stages. TD7R Race uses two rigid ceramic discs. TD7S Street and Race uses one rigid ceramic disc and one Fiber Tuff rigid disc for a little smoother engagement.

How long is the break-in?

Clutch Masters asks for at least 500 miles of normal stop-and-go driving, with no full-throttle shifting or compression braking, before hard use.
