Clutch Masters 08-09 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS 5-Speed/GTS 2.4L FX400 Clutch Kit
Clutch Masters 05046-HDC6-H is a race-grade clutch for the non-Evolution Mitsubishi Lancer with the five-speed manual, listed here for the 2008-2009 Lancer GTS with the 2.0L or 2.4L engine. It is built for the owner who has added a turbo kit, a supercharger or a serious tune and now has a factory clutch that slips under power. It is not a comfortable replacement for a stock car, and this page explains why so you buy the right kit the first time.
The FX400 system pairs a Power Plus I hi-leverage heavy-duty pressure plate with a sprung ceramic disc. Hi-leverage geometry raises clamp load on the disc without a matching jump in pedal effort, and the ceramic friction holds far more heat than an organic facing. Clutch Masters rates the FX400 at a 170 percent increase in holding capacity over stock.
The HDC6 code means the six-puck ceramic disc, the more aggressive of the two FX400 versions. Clutch Masters is direct about it: the six-puck paddle has no marcel cushion between the linings, so it engages very quickly and may chatter slightly in first and reverse. The sprung hub adds moderate dampening, which makes it more street friendly than a rigid race disc, but expect a short, decisive engagement. The -H suffix on this part number means a hydraulic release bearing is included.
First make sure the clutch is the problem. Check the clutch fluid, bleed the system if the pedal feels spongy, and inspect the bellhousing seam for engine oil that may have soaked the disc. Then do a full-throttle pull in fourth from low rpm and watch for engine speed climbing faster than road speed. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the test, and shift flare versus slip explains what you are feeling.
Be honest about the build. Clutch Masters warns that ceramic discs are never recommended for stock or near-stock vehicles and are not meant to extend clutch life; used for easy street driving they can wear faster because of harsh engagement. If your Lancer is stock or lightly modified, the ACT MB11-HDSS organic street kit is the better daily choice.
Our listing covers the 2008-2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS five-speed with the 2.0L or 2.4L engine. Clutch Masters' own chart for 05046-HDC6-H is broader: the 2008-2017 Lancer 2.0L non-turbo five-speed and the Lancer 2.4L five-speed. It does not fit the turbocharged Lancer Evolution or Ralliart, and it does not fit CVT cars. If your car has had an engine or transmission swap, send us the year and VIN before ordering.
