Clutch Masters 2017 Honda Civic 1.5L FX250 Rigid Disc Clutch Kit
Clutch Masters 08150-HD0F-R is the FX250 clutch kit that keeps the factory dual-mass flywheel in a 2017 Honda Civic 1.5L turbo six-speed. It is for the owner who has added a tune, bigger intercooler or downpipe, is now seeing the stock clutch let go at peak torque, and wants a stronger clutch without the idle rattle and extra cost of switching to a single-mass flywheel. The R suffix stands for rigid: the disc has no hub springs because the dual-mass flywheel already handles that job.
Clutch Masters builds the FX250 around its Power Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate and a hybrid disc that uses Fiber Tough friction material on the pressure plate side and steel-backed organic material on the flywheel side. The maker rates it at 110 percent more holding capacity than stock and describes it as a kit for a spirited street driver who may run an occasional track day. A marcel spring wafer sits between the two friction faces so engagement stays progressive in traffic.
On this Civic the flywheel is a two-piece dual-mass design with its own internal springs. Clutch Masters notes that its OEM-style kit uses a non-sprung rigid disc to work with that dual-mass flywheel. Adding a sprung disc on top would double up the damping, and a rigid disc on a solid flywheel would leave none, which is why the R and D versions are not interchangeable.
Run a datalog in fourth gear and watch rpm against road speed; if they separate at full boost the clutch is slipping. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the method. Because this kit relies on the original flywheel, check that flywheel too. A rattle at idle that stops with the pedal pressed, or noticeable free play when you rotate the two halves against each other with the transmission out, means it is worn. The dual-mass flywheel failure page explains what to look for. If it is worn, either replace it with a new factory unit or go single-mass with the sprung D kit instead.
Our listing is cataloged for the 2017 Honda Civic 1.5L turbo with the manual transmission. Clutch Masters lists 08150-HD0F-R for the Civic 2017-2021 1.5L turbo as a kit for use with the dual-mass flywheel, so later years in that range may also fit; send your year and VIN and we will confirm before shipping. It does not fit the Civic Type R, the 2.0L non-turbo Civic, CVT cars or the 2022-up Civic. If you are installing a lightweight flywheel such as the FW-150-SF, order the FX250 sprung kit instead. For more or less holding power on the stock flywheel, compare the FX300 rigid kit and the FX350 rigid kit.
