Clutch Masters 90-95 Toyota MR2 2.0L Turbo FX725 Race Triple Disc Clutch Kit w/Steel Flywheel
A built 3S-GTE in a second-generation MR2 Turbo can make several times its factory torque on a bigger turbo and E85, and at that point a single disc behind the E153 transaxle either slips or needs so much clamp load that the pedal becomes a leg workout. Clutch Masters 16061-3D7R-S is the FX725 Race triple disc kit with a steel flywheel for the 1990-1995 Toyota MR2 2.0L Turbo. It is built for drag passes and high-boost roll racing, not for a stock car that only needs a fresh clutch.
The FX725 family uses small 7.25 inch (184 mm) discs, which Clutch Masters designs for engines and transmissions with compact bellhousings. On a mid-engine MR2, where the transaxle sits tight against the engine and the clutch spins right behind the driver, that small diameter keeps rotating mass and inertia very low. Running three Race-stage ceramic rigid discs stacked in one billet aluminum cover multiplies the friction surfaces, so the clutch holds power through area rather than through a brutal single-plate spring load.
Clutch Masters machines the cover from billet aluminum with a Type 3 hard anodize and states it flexes about 0.003 inch, against up to 0.030 inch for a cast or stamped cover, so more of the release bearing travel actually moves the diaphragm. Its QR quick-release system uses three spring-loaded bolts to make the plates engage and release evenly and, by the maker's figure, cuts internal clutch noise by up to half. The included flywheel is machined from a 1045 steel billet core and black-oxide treated. Clutch Masters is direct that the FX725 is drag-focused and not ideal for the street, though it can handle occasional street driving.
A datalog of a pull in a high gear tells the story: if rpm climbs without a matching rise in road speed, the clutch is slipping. Before blaming the disc, bleed the hydraulics, check the slave cylinder for leaks and confirm pedal free play, and look for oil at the bellhousing from the rear main seal or the transaxle input seal. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the checks, and the manual repair cost breakdown helps when you are weighing a clutch job against gearbox work. If the car is street driven at moderate power, a single disc such as the Competition Clutch ceramic six-puck sprung disc for the 3S-GTE will be far easier to live with.
Our listing covers the 1990-1995 Toyota MR2 with the 2.0L 3S-GTE turbo and five-speed manual. The non-turbo SW20 uses a different engine and gearbox and is not covered. The 16061 base number is shared on the Clutch Masters twin disc versions with the 1988-1989 Celica 2.0L Turbo All-Trac and some 4WD Camry models, but this triple kit is listed here for the MR2 Turbo only. These cars are now 30 years old and many have swapped engines, gearboxes or flywheels, so match your crank flange and transaxle to the original turbo setup, or send the year and VIN before ordering. More clutch and drivetrain parts are in our rebuild kits department.

Yes. The kit includes a steel flywheel machined from a billet core and black-oxide treated.
Clutch Masters says the FX725 is drag-focused and not ideal for the street, though it can handle occasional street driving. Expect quick engagement and some rattle at idle.
Three discs add friction surfaces in the same small 7.25 inch package, so it holds more power than the twin disc version for very high output builds.
Clutch Masters lists the 16061 twin disc kits for the 1988-1989 Celica Turbo All-Trac, but this triple is listed for the MR2 Turbo. Send us your VIN before ordering for a Celica.
