Clutch Masters 2017 Honda Civic 1.5L FX350 Rigid Disc Clutch Kit
Clutch Masters 08150-HDFF-R is the FX350 clutch kit for the 2017 Honda Civic 1.5L turbo with the 6-speed manual, built to bolt onto the factory dual-mass flywheel. It suits a Civic that has gone past a simple tune, with a bigger turbo, upgraded intercooler or more boost, and now slips the stock clutch whenever it sees full torque. It is also for the owner who takes the car to an autocross or track day a few times a year and wants a little more grip than a pure street clutch, and who is willing to accept some engagement chatter to get it.
The kit pairs the Clutch Masters Power Plus I high-leverage, heavy-duty pressure plate with a steel-backed, segmented disc faced in the maker's Fiber-Tough friction material. Clutch Masters positions the FX350 one step above the FX300: slightly more holding capacity, but a slightly more aggressive engagement that will produce some chatter. The maker describes it as a street and occasional-track clutch for highly tuned engines and medium-boost turbo setups. A marcel spring wafer between the linings still softens the take-up compared to a puck-style race disc.
The R in the part number means the disc has a rigid center with no hub springs. That is correct for the stock Civic flywheel, because the dual-mass flywheel already contains the springs that soak up engine pulses. Do not install this kit on a lightweight single-mass flywheel; that combination needs the sprung D version.
Log a fourth-gear pull from low rpm and compare engine speed to road speed; a sudden rise in rpm that speed does not follow is clutch slip, not a boost or traction issue. Then check the dual-mass flywheel, since this kit reuses it: rattle at idle that goes away with the pedal down, or too much free play between the two halves, means the flywheel must be replaced as well. Our slipping diagnosis guide walks through the method, shift flare vs slip helps you read the log, and the dual-mass flywheel failure page explains what a worn flywheel feels like.
Our listing is cataloged for the 2017 Honda Civic 1.5L turbo manual. Clutch Masters lists 08150-HDFF-R for the Civic 2017-2021 1.5L turbo as a single-disc kit for use with the dual-mass flywheel, so later cars in that range may also fit. Send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before you order. It does not fit the Civic Type R, the 2.0L non-turbo Civic, the 2022-up 1.5T or any CVT car.
If you want a smoother daily clutch on the same flywheel, the FX300 rigid kit trades a little holding capacity for cleaner engagement. If you plan to go to a single-mass flywheel, buy the FX350 sprung kit instead. See all clutch parts in our clutch and rebuild kits section.
