Clutch Masters 23-24 Toyota GR Corolla 1.6L Turbo 6-Speed FX400 8-Puck Clutch Kit - 475ft/lbs Torque
Once a GR Corolla is making well past stock torque on a built tune, organic and fiber discs start to run out of room, especially for owners who launch the car or run a drag strip. The Clutch Masters 16616-HDCL FX400 8-puck kit puts a sprung ceramic disc into the 2023-2024 Toyota GR Corolla 1.6L turbo six-speed. Our listing rates it at 475 ft-lb, and it is the ceramic option Clutch Masters says is designed for street-driven cars.
The GR-Four drivetrain splits torque between both axles, so a hard launch puts the whole load of the G16E-GTS through the clutch with almost no wheelspin to soften it. The FX400 answers that with the Power Plus I high-leverage heavy-duty pressure plate and a full-face disc carrying eight ceramic pucks. Clutch Masters quotes a 170 percent increase in holding capacity and says ceramic dissipates heat quickly, which matters on repeated launches. The difference from the 6-puck version is the marcel cushion between the linings on this 8-puck disc: it keeps chatter to a minimum, where the 6-puck is the more aggressive, chattier setup. The sprung hub adds moderate damping on top.
Expect a quicker bite than a stock clutch. Clutch Masters warns that ceramic discs are made for holding capacity rather than longer life, and are never recommended for stock or near-stock cars, where they can wear faster from harsh engagement.
Confirm the existing clutch is really slipping: a high-gear, low-RPM full-throttle pull with RPM rising faster than speed is the classic test. Then check the hydraulics, since a clutch that never fully releases or engages because of air or a weak cylinder can mimic slip. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers that process, and if the job is turning into more than a clutch, the manual transmission repair cost breakdown lays out what the labor usually costs.
The 16616-HDCL is listed for the 2023-2024 Toyota GR Corolla 1.6L turbo six-speed manual. The Morizo Edition is not split out by Clutch Masters and uses a different gearbox (EA68F), so send your VIN if you own one. Model years 2025 and later are not on this listing. Send year and VIN with any question and we will check the part number before shipping. If you want less bite, the FX350 Fiber-Tough kit is the street/race step below; if the car is purely for competition, the FX500 6-puck race kit sits above.
The kit is new, in stock and ships from the USA the same business day, and carries a 1-year warranty.

The 8-puck (HDCL) is a full-face ceramic disc with a marcel cushion and minimal chatter, which Clutch Masters says is designed for street cars. The 6-puck has no marcel, engages faster and may chatter in first and reverse.
No. Clutch Masters says ceramic discs are never recommended for stock or near-stock cars. For a lightly modified car, the FX350 or FX100 is a better match.
Our listing rates the 16616-HDCL at 475 ft-lb, and Clutch Masters quotes a 170 percent increase in holding capacity.
Clutch Masters builds the FW-616-SF steel flywheel (21 lb) for its GR Corolla single disc kits and recommends steel for street cars. A resurfaced factory flywheel also works if it is within spec.
It is listed for 2023-2024 GR Corolla 1.6L turbo 6-speed only. Send your VIN for a Morizo or any later car before ordering.
