Clutch Masters 04-06 Acura TL 3.2L/03-07 Honda Accord 3.0L FX250 Clutch Kit
Clutch Masters 08028-HD0F-D is the clutch-only version of the FX250 kit for the V6 six-speed Hondas and Acuras: the 2004-2006 Acura TL 3.2L and the 2003-2007 Honda Accord 3.0L coupe and sedan with the manual gearbox. Owners land here when the original clutch has started to slip on the highway, when an intake, header or tune has pushed the J-series past what the stock disc holds, or when the dual-mass flywheel has worn out and they are converting to a lighter single-mass setup anyway. One thing matters more than anything else on this page: this disc is built for an aftermarket single-mass flywheel and will not work on the factory flywheel.
From the factory these cars pair a rigid, unsprung disc with a dual-mass flywheel; the springs that soak up driveline shock live inside the flywheel. Clutch Masters moves that job into the clutch. The 08028-HD0F-D disc has a heavy-duty sprung hub plus a Marcel spring wafer under the friction, so it can bolt against a solid single-mass flywheel without hammering the gearbox. Facing is a hybrid: Fiber Tough material on the pressure plate side for heat tolerance, steel-backed organic on the flywheel side for a smooth takeup. A Power Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate raises clamp load, and Clutch Masters rates the system at 110 percent more holding capacity than stock. The kit ships with a release bearing, pilot bearing when the application uses one, an alignment tool and an instruction card. Shipping weight is about 17 lb.
Do a slip test with the engine warm: hold fourth gear near 2,500 rpm and go to full throttle. If the tach jumps ahead of the speedometer, the disc is slipping. Before you order, check the clutch fluid reservoir and look for a wet slave cylinder; a hydraulic leak can leave the clutch partly released and feel like slip or drag. Gear oil or engine oil weeping into the bellhousing will ruin a new disc, so fix any leak at the same time. Our slipping diagnosis guide walks through the road test, and flare vs slip explains what a real slip looks like on the tach. The clutch slipping causes page covers manual-specific causes.
Our listing covers the 2004-2006 Acura TL 3.2L and the 2003-2007 Honda Accord 3.0L, both with the six-speed manual. The Clutch Masters application chart for this part also includes the Acura CL 3.2L. It does not fit the automatic cars, the four-cylinder Accord, or the 2007-2008 TL Type-S, which uses a different kit. Because the disc is sprung for single-mass use, plan on Clutch Masters flywheel FW-028-AL, which is the flywheel the manufacturer calls for with this kit. If you want both in one box, the FX250 kit with aluminum flywheel is the same clutch already paired. Send your year and VIN if you are not sure which gearbox the car has. More options are in our rebuild kits category.
Break the clutch in gently for at least 500 miles of normal driving with no hard launches, as Clutch Masters instructs. Our guide to breaking in a new clutch explains why that seating period matters.
