Clutch Masters 13-14 Acura ILX 2.4L 6-Speed (OEM ECU) FX400 6-Puck Ceramic Clutch Kit
The Clutch Masters 08320-HRC6-X is the FX400 6-puck ceramic clutch for the Acura ILX 2.4L six-speed running the factory ECU, and for the K24 Civic Si and TSX that share its gearbox. This is the clutch-only version: pressure plate, disc, release bearing and alignment tool, with no flywheel in the box. It is aimed at a K24 that is boosted, sprayed or tracked hard enough to cook a street clutch, where the owner wants maximum grip and can live with an aggressive pedal.
Clutch Masters builds this kit around its Power Plus I high-leverage heavy-duty pressure plate and a sprung disc with six premium ceramic pucks. The small pucks take the full clamp load and shed heat quickly, and the maker rates the combination at a 170 percent increase in holding capacity over stock. The sprung hub adds some damping, which helps on the street compared with a solid race hub.
There is no Marcel cushion under the pucks, so engagement is fast. Clutch Masters warns that the 6-puck disc may chatter slightly in first and reverse and says ceramic discs are never recommended for stock or near-stock cars. If your ILX has only an intake and exhaust, the FX300 Kevlar clutch on the same platform will drive far better.
Run a fourth-gear pull from about 2,000 rpm at full throttle; if the tach jumps while the car does not pull harder, the disc is slipping. Check the clutch fluid level and color and look for leaks at the slave cylinder first, because a hydraulic fault that keeps the bearing preloaded can mimic slip. Oil on the bellhousing seam from a rear main seal will ruin a new disc. Our slipping diagnosis guide walks through the test, and shift flare vs slip explains the difference between the two.
Our listing is titled for the 2013-2014 ILX. Clutch Masters lists 08320-HRC6-X for the 2013-2015 Acura ILX 2.4L six-speed on the OEM ECU, the 2009-2014 Acura TSX 2.4L six-speed and the 2012-2015 Honda Civic Si 2.4L six-speed. It does not fit the ILX 2.0L automatic or the hybrid.
The flywheel is the part to plan for. Clutch Masters states the stock flywheel will not work with its kits, and every 08320 kit requires the FW-320-SF steel flywheel. Because that flywheel is kept at factory weight, no FlashPro or other engine management is needed; only the lighter 08240 kits need a tune. If you want the flywheel included in one box, order the FX400 6-puck kit with steel flywheel instead. Send us your year and VIN if you are not sure which version you need.

No. The -X version is the clutch only. Clutch Masters requires its FW-320-SF steel flywheel with every 08320 kit; the stock ILX flywheel will not work.
No. The 08320 platform uses a flywheel at factory weight, so Clutch Masters says a FlashPro is not required. The 08240 kits with the lighter flywheel are the ones that need a tune.
Clutch Masters lists the 2013-2015 ILX 2.4L six-speed, 2009-2014 TSX 2.4L six-speed and 2012-2015 Civic Si 2.4L. It does not fit the ILX 2.0L or hybrid.
It may chatter slightly in first and reverse because the disc has no Marcel cushion, per Clutch Masters. It is meant for modified cars, not stock ones.
Fresh DOT 3 brake fluid to bleed the clutch hydraulics and Honda MTF for the gearbox.
