Clutch Masters 11-14 Nissan Juke 1.6L Turbo FX350 Sprung Disc Clutch Kit (Flywheel Not Included)
Clutch Masters 06178-HDFF-XH is the FX350 clutch kit for the six-speed manual Nissan Juke with the 1.6L turbo (MR16DDT). This is the step to take when a tuned Juke has outgrown a street clutch: more boost from a tune and turbo upgrade, a NISMO RS that gets launched, or a car that also sees track days. If your Juke flares the revs between shifts at full boost or slips in third and fourth when the turbo comes on hard, this kit is built for that load. It is sold without a flywheel.
The pressure plate bolts to the flywheel and clamps the disc; the release bearing pushes the diaphragm away when you press the pedal, which frees the disc for a gear change. In the Juke the 1.6 turbo reaches peak torque around 2,000 rpm, so the clutch takes a big, sudden load every time boost builds. The FX350 pairs a Power Plus I high-leverage heavy-duty pressure plate with a segmented Fiber-Tough disc, steel-backed, on a heavy-duty sprung hub with a Marcel spring wafer. Clutch Masters positions it above its FX300 in holding power and aims it at medium-boost turbo builds or up to 100 hp of nitrous. The tradeoff is honest: engagement is more aggressive than an organic disc and the FX350 will produce some chatter. Drivers who mostly commute should look at the softer FX250 or FX100 kits for this car.
In the box: pressure plate, FX350 disc, release bearing, pilot bearing where the application uses one, alignment tool and instruction card. Shipping weight is about 15 lb.
In fourth gear around 2,500 rpm, go to full throttle and watch the tach as boost builds. A clutch that is giving up lets the rpm jump ahead of road speed. If the pedal feels spongy, the fluid level drops or the clutch will not release cleanly, inspect the hydraulic side first. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the full check, and shift flare vs. slip helps you describe exactly what the car is doing.
Our listing is titled 2011-2014 Nissan Juke 1.6L turbo. The Clutch Masters application chart for 06178-HDFF-XH lists the 2011-2017 Juke 1.6L Turbo 6-speed and the 2016-2019 Sentra 1.6L SR Turbo 6-speed. Only front-wheel-drive Jukes came with the manual; the all-wheel-drive cars used the CVT, so this kit does not apply to them. Owners with a CVT Juke can read our Nissan CVT problems guide instead. Match the part number on your old parts or send us your year and VIN to confirm. See the full range of clutch kits and flywheels in the rebuild kits and clutch category.
Resurface or replace the flywheel. Clutch Masters builds the FW-178-SF one-piece steel flywheel for this car, and it is the logical match when you are already running a performance clutch. Clean both friction faces, lightly grease the input splines, center the disc with the alignment tool and draw the pressure plate bolts down evenly in a crisscross pattern. Bleed the clutch hydraulics with the brake fluid grade printed on the reservoir cap and refill the gearbox with the manual transmission fluid Nissan specifies. Follow the Clutch Masters 500-mile break-in before any launches; skipping it is the fastest way to glaze a new Fiber-Tough disc. If you decide the FX350 is more clutch than your driving needs, the FX250 Juke kit fits the same cars with a smoother hybrid disc.
